Reader Question:

I’ve been seeing this guy for five years now. It’s hard to explain our connection. We were really good friends, he always said that he wanted to be more than that but he wasn’t ready. Well, recently he and I got together and said it was time to stop with the games. He expressed how deeply he loved me and vice versa. Everything was going great until he just found out that a girl he slept with prior to us being together is about to have his child. He’s taken it hard and keeps apologizing. I don’t hold it against him. We broke up because he now says he doesn’t know what to do, but he wants me. Should I be patient with him or move on? He has no ties to her outside of the child but do men tend to stay with their child’s mother or will love prevail?

What should this woman do? Leave your advice for this reader in the comments section.
