George. Children.

Children.
Turns out that George has 2 young children.
He doesn't seem them much, though from what I gather, when he does - he really does.  He does things with them.
My girlfriend and I discussed the situation.  More so, the man.
It was agreed that while the ex in any situation can play a huge role, it really does depend on the the person you are involved in.  And whether or not they are good with, good at, relationships.

We discussed a past "love" who had children.  This past love, in my book, is just not worth mentioning as a boyfriend.  He couldn't stand up to his ex-wife, when she played control issues with him; when he is in a relationship, he doesn't see his child - and thus, when he doesn't have a relationship, he sees his child a lot.  Basically, plainly, this guy needs to grow some balls.  Not even be a man.  Just be a PERSON.


There can be happiness, however, as a step-mom.  As long as you are willing to be so.


And from what I've seen of George (not really a lot, though what I saw, I liked), what I've heard of George, I like.  I think George has huge potential, children or not.  And I'm more than pleased to know my girlfriend is willing to give it a go.
