Lay your cards on the table

SEVEN years ago, I called off my engagement to my then-fiancee, who subsequently, unintentionally, mothered my child. Since then I’ve been living like a single parent, although we’re not legally married and I don’t have legal custody of my child.

I continued to meet other girls but the relationships never really took off as I hesitate to take the next step to commitment. Last year, one of the girls told me she was seeing someone else and another said she was getting married.
