Guys, would you ever have a relationship with a woman who had kid(s)?

Like, as in, for both parties, is love possible when thee bond is between her and the kid's father? And would you want to have a kid in that relationship, if it was love, or would the fact that kid(s) had already been had by another father stop you? Also for women, if you love a guy after the father of your kid(s), would you want a child with him, if he wanted it?

yeah i don't see why not, if you love someone then why not?
no
No I wouldn't. It can work if both people are divorced and both have children, but the idea of brining up somebody else's children I'd just find horrible, just personal preference I guess. But lots of others would.
I've seen a thread exactly like this before. Never asking what women would do. As a woman, just saying, I wouldn't want to be in a relationship with a guy who has kids.
If they're teenage or above and their parents were together relatively recently they'd probably resent you.
Yes i would.

Never.
It's not ideal by any means, however If I was in love with them it wouldn't be a problem.

Though if I was about to enter a relationship with someone who already had a kid without another man at this age (23), I would run for the hills... too much baggage for me personally.
Yes but nothing serious.
Just casual.
I will never raise a next mans child
Nahh it would be too hard if she wasnt a virgin for starters
It's very unlikely that i would although on the bright side, at least she's fertile.
Never
It's the other way round, but for the past two years now I have been in a relationship with a man who has two children from a previous marriage, and that's just fine with me. He's a wonderful person, and seeing him with his children is beautiful. I get on very well with both of them, and feel privileged he is letting me be a part of his / their lives. I don't feel any different towards him compared to previous boyfriends (who didn't have children), and don't feel weird about the 'bond' he is having with the children's mother at all - the only reason they are still seeing each other are the children, so there is really nothing for me to feel awkward about.

Generally because there are more likely to be single mothers with kids than single fathers.

OP, I wouldn't.
I would be happy helping to raise another woman's child, this child did nothing wrong, no reason why he doesn't deserve a mother figure in his life.

This applies to men too.

Maybe if I were older, or already had kids of my own but at the moment (not right now, but when I do) I'd like to discover parenting at the same time as my partner.
If I loved her, then yes I would.

Every kid has two parents :rolleyes:. I get where you're coming from. I think women can be bitchy and I wouldn't want to help raise another man's child when his ex probably would take issue with me.
