You guys just ain't playin' that game right. Any purse holding should be preceeded with the statement "this is gonna cost you." She'll respond with "yeah right," but just stand there and grin like the cat that ate the mouse.... and don't say another word.

Don't you guys know anything?

If you boys get embarrassed at that stuff, you got a loooong way to go.

He wasn't referring to you as a kid, Ringo, but the ones that don't "get it" when it comes to what makes our women appreciate us. I, for one, have never had an issue with buying the feminine stuff, or holding a purse (for my spouse, of course ). Part of it is being secure enough in your masculinity, and part of it is realizing that it's no big deal. No one's ever mistakenly thought that the pads were for me...
On edit: I wish the word pads wasn't in bold...

And as a last thought, IN MY HUMBLE FRIGGIN' OPINION, a 20 year old kid that is still livin' with mommy and daddy, ain't got no business planning a marriage to a 20 year old, divorced mother of one, who is still living at home with mommy and daddy. JMHO.

While I echo what people have said in terms of "running"... there are 3 billion beautiful ladies in this world, you don't need to settle down today.
You aren't young forever - make the most of youth while you have it!!!
Having said that - the lady you are seeing is probably going through a pretty tough time in her life... so I would prehaps rephrase it from "running" to "eliquently parting ways", after your chat with her father you don't want him chasing you as if he needs your guts for garter - and neither do you need to cause any more emotional distress than what already has happened.
However take this from me, you don't need this, and if you haven't worked that out from reading all the posts here, I am going to guess that there is a 98% chance that you will work it out after the ordeal is over
Thats why I provide the cash... if they find thier own shopping buddy's
Its not as if my fashion advice is useful for public attire anyways

I have been in both shoes.
Being a 20yo single mother, some times I would think I needed a father figure for my son, how was I to do it alone. Would meet a guy, for the first month or so would think, this is the guy. LOL
date a few months more, Nope. then swear off relationships. (sons father and I had date for 4 years prior to me getting PG)
I thought I needed a father for my child. I wanted a companion too, I wasn't just father hunting, but the companion part was second on my mind.
But, after realizing that the only person my son really needs is ME. I stopped dating for a long time. 3 yrs. I dated my now hubby for 7 years before I married him. Being from a Catholic family I am sure his friends/family first thoughts or words to him were RUN also. But I was very much independent and supported myself by that time my son was almost 6.
Now the other side: My son, met a pregnant girl, new her for a week and moved out right after his 18th Bday. Against my wishes of course. Things were good for the first year, but now he calls me at 11pm, he has her son and she is out somewhere with her friends, new male friend, casino's. He has grown so attached to her son that when I say you can do better, or you don't deserve to be treated like a babysitter, his first comments are well what about James(her son almost 2yo ).
Financially she needs him, he makes 15.00 an hour plus night dif pay.
She works fast food part-time.
When my son and her come over, quite often I see/hear, "here take him a minute I gotta go get........." and he ends up holding him while he is trying to do whatever he was doing. She comes back, but not to reach out and take the boy back.
Just GIVE IT TIME. Watch for warning signs that may start happening. It may not happen right away. Like are you being a glorified gopher for her to help with the baby, or if the baby needs something does she take the baby with her to get the bottle, baby wipes, talk on the phone? Nothing wrong with helping, just be careful not to get taken advantage of.
What women's hormones can do to them after birth, and they may not even know, or be aware of it. Some times it can take up to a year for those things to level out. Some women don't have it.
I have always tried to make it a point to my son about "watch out for those women", they can be funny creatures sometimes. I know cause I am one.
Just some other input for you to think about, If it works, great. My son loves his step father dearly.
Off to get our 7yo from early dismissal. Hope it works out for you better than in my eldest sons case.
