My friend is married to a girl who has three kids. I asked him a lot of personal questions regarding between him and his wife. The things he told me are the things he meant and I felt that the words hit me to what he has said to me. I've known him for a very long time. We knew each other back in elementary and ever since, we somehow been staying in touch. He's a good guy as far as I know and the things he tells me I believe because I've known him for a very long time. The most surprising thing to me that he has ever done in his life is that he's married. Now getting married is something to be in full commitment of and he never told me about this. I guess he was afraid or wanted to surprise his friends. He actually does care his wife's children. He's being the responsible father and husband that he needs to be.

Now why did I tell you about this? If you really do care about the girl you've been dating then go. There are some sacrifices that you will make. It's not that I'm saying it's a bad thing. I'm saying that you really like this girl or perhaps truly love her and you want to take care of her and her children then go for it.

If not, then you just walked into a time bomb and you tripped the wrong wire.
