Dear Prudence...

Posted by Don Homer (aka DonHomer) Sep 9 '13, 11:14

Hi Prudie, I'm a 28-year-old man who recently started seeing a woman. We have an understanding that what we have is casual, but she has a 6-year-old child, who I've seen a couple of times a week since we started seeing each other a couple of months ago. I don't do relationships, but work with kids, so I'm good with them. The other day, he told me he loved me. Now I haven't even said this to his mother and don't intend to. We have great passion and affection, but it's just physical for me. But I feel horrible as I don't feel that those words should be used unless meant, but that resulted in him saying "I love you" and it not being returned. What do I do? And if the child says it again, how should I respond? Regards, Not your daddy

- prudie has lost her mind. A 6 year old is not going to grasp that kind of heavy conversation - Epiphany Sep 9, 11:21 2

The mother shouldn't have introduced someone she's just being physical with to her son. - Inigo Sep 9, 11:18 3
- Or, the mother is trying to use her kid to get him deeper into the relationship. - JaxSean Sep 9, 11:27

he shouldn't be hanging around the kid if he doesn't care about the mother. -- nm - amanda hk Sep 9, 11:16 1
- exactly. if its just physical with the mom, don't spend time around the kid. -- nm - decline Sep 9, 11:17
