Boyfriend with Kid Advice

by cj

I've never dated a man with a kid until now and with all my other boyfriends, I always had all the attention - sometimes too much. With the man I'm with now whenever his son (6 yrs old) is here it's hard for me to share him and he has his son at least 60% of the time if not more and his son hardly listens to him and is loud and obnoxious all the time and I just get so frustrated I can't take it even though I love my boyfriend more than anything.

Also, I'm used to super romantic guys and he's absolutely not which I'm ok with, except it makes it even harder to enjoy my time when his son is here. I feel like I'm making an effort to get to know his son and I pay for half the roof over his head and I babysit him whenever my boyfriend has to leave, and I feel like I deserve some romance from him. It's a hard place to be especially when his mom is still in the picture. Help!

How to really get to know the person you are dating and what that person values
