"You’re asking a bunch of strangers if it’s ok to be with someone over 40 years younger than you. You could be his grandfather. Let that soak in. You’re also willing to break up with your girlfriend for this child? Do you realize how much pain you will be causing? This isnt just your & your girlfriend’s relationship you’re be destroying. It would be the mother son relationship as well as your be relationship with your be daughter. Are you even sure he’s interested in men? Much older men? Or are you just be assuming he’ll be interested if you break up with his mom? This whole question seems very disgusting to me."

"Plenty other MEN out there if that’s what u are attracted to not your current partner's son!"

"If this is your big question, do them all + you and your daughter the favor of not being with any of them. Wow."
"Mmm I think you need to leave them both alone"
"Seriously? Why would you do that to your girlfriend? Ok so you don’t like girls whatever but why would you pursue her son. Go kick rocks. You’re the type of person that ruins women from pursuing a healthy relationship with another person in the future"
"You should be with neither. I’d encourage you to seek counseling."
