Hi there, i am 23 years old and I recently started seeing this guy about a month ago. Although he didnt seem my type at first we starting talking and clicked instantly. however, somethings about him do trouble me. He has been almost singlehandedly raising his niece and nephew for the past 2 yrs. His sister was left widowed 2 yrs ago and sunk into depression.

 

It does not seem like she has anything to to with raising the kids. all three of them live in his house while he pays the mortgage for her old house in a diff state. he is basically the kids' father, he dresses them, cooks for them, puts them in bed. He has a good stable job but he used to have his own company in the city which he sold when he had to move back here with his sis and kids. I have not met the children but it scares me the amount of commitments he already has.like we only can go out in the evenings when he has put the kids to bed and such.I have no experience with little kids whatsoever. I am still in college pursuing a graduate degree and all my friends and I have been too busy studying/working or socialising to even think of kids and such.I envision myself travelling for work even.

 

I really like this guy but it seems like his sister is never going to come out of the state shes in so basically he has to continue raising the kids until they are done with college?? I think it is quite unfair on him esp since he is so young although it doesnt seem like he minds cause he loves them to bits. I just want to know should I pursue this relationship knowing it will probably end in a mess should i leave now? I havent had much experience with relationships but I feel like I have a connection to this guy.

Have you ever met his sister? Be careful this sister doesn't turn out to be his wife.

 

At any rate, you're in college. Focus on guys who are unencumbered and can spend time with you. No need to contemplate a life playing house at this stage.
