Looking for relationship advice!?

Okay so I am looking for advice! You know the stuff you ask for when you already know what to do. My girlfriend and I celebrated our 2 year anniversary last week. Things have been going pretty good for us. We do tend to argue but what couple doesn鈥檛. I have kept our relationship a secret from a lot of people and only recently started telling people myself. I have only told those who I know would still be there for me regardless. I do not feel comfortable with people knowing and I am not sure that is ever going to change. Last night I broke up with her. I feel at times that I am living this double life. I hide that fact that we are dating from people I work with and pretend to be single. The same is true for my sons father and his family. I have also not told my son ( who is 5). I am scared of what that lifestyle could mean for him. Especially if my GF doesn鈥檛 really want to move in and take that parent role.Looking for relationship advice!?
Take some time for you before you make any decisions. You said it yourself that coming out to the world will make a huge impact on not only your life, but also your son's life.





You need to find out from your [ex] girlfriend whether she would even want to be a part of your son's life. If she doesn't, then that's your answer right there. Your son will forever be part of your life, and if she can't accept that, then you need to find someone who can.





As for the guy, I'd give it a shot. You aren't in a relationship with your girlfriend anymore, so if you have chemistry with the guy, isn't it worth possibly checking out? Even if it's just a date here or there... nothing serious.





Regardless of what you do, make sure that whatever choice you make, make sure that you are happy with it. That's the important thing.











And I agree with Heath.. I don't mind talking to you more about this if you need outside opinions.Looking for relationship advice!?
Her feelings about taking on the parenting role could very well change in the future. It's hard to just jump into a parenting role when you weren't originally the parent. I know that ultimately your son needs to be a part of your relationship with her, but she might just need some time. If she's set on never becoming a part of your son's life, then maybe you're correct in letting her go for now. Did this guy you met actually state that he wanted to get in your pants? If that's so, a lot of guys like to throw nice words out to gain women's trust and interest. Make sure it's not a trap to get you out of your clothes. If you truly care for this girl, don't just up and break up with her. Deal with the problem before you throw it out and create a new problem. Let me know if you want to talk more about this.
