I don't see what's so funny...It's true. If I fathered a kid, I would stick by no matter what.
Now, should the female want to leave her boyfriend after she found out she was pregnant, then that's up to her and a completely different story.
So if she was a total b*tch you'd stay with her no matter what? Or are you saying stick by as in if you two did break up you'd still look after the kid?

You are correct, sir. Many people don't realize that the child/ren could be caused more emotional trauma through their parents frictional marriage. It is true that children who are raised with a father and a mother are much more successful in pretty much all facets of measured success (less trouble, better grades, make more money, more likely to graduate highschool, etc.) But I'd like to see data on those children who grew up in a home where their parents were constantly at each other's throats. I'm quite sure the children would end up with more severe emotional problems or the children would have lower measures of success relative to being raised in a single parent home.
As for the thread topic:
It takes a charitable and kind man to marry a woman with children and love those children as if they were his own without even a shadow of doubt.
My father did that. 😐 My mother had three children when he married her. I can say with surety that he loves all his children equally.
My wife had a son when I met her. I must say that I love my boy more than my own daughter. (Yes, I play favorites, bitches. So what.)
And my brother is quite serious with a lady who has two children. Based on our conversations, I can tell that those two boys have grown on him. He cares about them very much.
Getting into a relationship when the other has children can be very messy. My brother has a VERY big uphill battle with his girlfriend's ex and the custody of the children. It is going to be a horrendous ordeal. All I can say on entering relationships with preexisting children is: caveat emptor.
