Hey guys, I really am in deep trouble.
A few months ago, I got to know a really nice guy, he is 24 years old, while I'm 19.
I met him at his work, since I am a customer of his. Anyways, he has a girlfriend, they've been together for 3 years now, and they even have a 9 month old baby together.
I've been interested in him for a while now, but I didn't act on it, of course, because he is in a relationship and has a son.
But recently, it seems like he is having more and more trouble with his girlfriend. He told me that he once thought that she was "the one" but now he realizes that it's not her he wants to spend his life with.
He can't tell her that, because he is really scared that she would leave with their son so that he won't be able to be there for his baby. And he feels guilty, because he wants his son to have a normal family so badly, because he has a very difficult background.
It really messes with him, and then he told me that one of the reasons why he held onto this relationship for so long, was because he wanted to make it work, and because his son is the best thing that ever happened to him. But his girlfriend is always yelling at him, calling him names and making him feel like he is worthless.
Then he pretty much told me that he is falling in love with me.
I'm so confused now. He has a kid, and that means he comes with a lot of baggage, plus he is in the middle of a broken relationship trying desperately to make it work for the sake of his son.
I really, really like him a lot, and it's hard to resist him, because he makes sure that I know how he feels about me, but at the same time we can't kiss, can't do anything yet because he still doesn't know how to talk to his girlfriend, without losing his son.
What should I do? Should I wait for him, continue to be there for him during this time? Do we even stand a chance with him having a kid?
Please just tell me your opinions, I really don't know what to do!
