A friend wants to know:
“Would girls date/marry a single father? what do you think will it be easy for you consider him, what their family would possibly think, etc.”
scenario 1: wife is not dead, she left her husband and the child. In fact she didnt want to have a children on a first place cuz her figure will be ruined.
scenario 2: wife is not dead, but she is insane and might hurt the child.
Re: Single Father
No I would not date a single father.
Because I am married.
Re: Single Father
a friend of mine married a single father that had two kids......at the time they got married the elder child was 4 and the younger was a toddler still in diapers.
mA she now has two more kids of her own with him and ultimately the previous wife ended up sharing custody for the first two kids.
It can prove to be a tough road since there are so many variables involved. Watch your step but don't back away because of this.
Re: Single Father
diff ppl have diff priorities. what works for others is not the point. what does your friend think herself
Single Father
I know someone who married a single father he had a son who was 6 I think previous wife left him duno why. They had a daughter after marriage. When daughter was 4 I think not sure of her age, he left them n took his son to a new wife. New wife broke her own engagement to run away with this man who had been married twice before with 2 kids, he must hav sweet talked her alot! He seemed dodgy wen I met him :/ I was right lol.
Re: Single Father
I've met some single fathers and I have to say...never heard of the reasons you've listed.
Sometimes the reasons given are true and sometimes they're not. Many times you might find one spouse trying to take the kids away from the other by using these stories.
I'd just make sure she was getting the truth and was also ready for a full time mommy role!
Re: Single Father
I have come across many single parents (inc in my own family) but never anything like that..
(What woman would dump her hubby and kid after getting pregnant despite not apparently wanting to just cos of her figure 
If she was bothered she could just lose the weight afterwards, couldn’t she? I tend to be a bit suspicious of ppl who say a woman is not having kids only ‘because of her figure’.. From what I’ve seen around me that’s rarely the full story)..
Getting bk to the question if I was older (bit more experienced) and I felt comfortable with the situation yes, I would consider marrying a single father..
Re: Single Father
^ Exactly my point.
Just because two people don't get along does NOT mean they are bad parents...you have to separate the two.
Re: Single Father
Back when I was single, I would have never considered a man with a child as an option for marriage. Heck, even today, IF I wasn't married and still searching, I still would not consider a single father as an option. I'm not ready to become a mother to any child. Since I had no interest in being a mother...it would be irresponsible for me to become involved with a man who already had a child.
And IF I was ready to be someone's step-mom, I still would not consider a man who shared custody with his ex-wife. It would need to be a case where the biological mom's parental rights have been legally terminated OR she's deceased. The 2 scenarious mentioned in the OP doesn't mean anything UNLESS the women's rights have been legally terminated. I know too many families who deal with tons of stress/drama on a regular basis due to shared custody situations with an ex-spouse OR in situations where the absent biological parent showed up years later wanting to become involved in the child's life. Personally, I would never choose to be in a situation like that.

I second everything Reha said .
Just want to add one more thing is that the most common and easiest way to tackle a broken marriage is to call the ex spouse as insane. In scenario 2 , if the woman was insane why did he made a baby with her in the 1st place ? and if she was normal at that time what made her insane ?
In scenario 1 , ok she didn't want to have children in the 1st place but then she had 1 then what was the point in leaving child after the figure has already been ruined ? abandoning the husband and child would bring the figure back ?
Re: Single Father
Yes I think there is not harm in getting married to a single Father, I have experience a couple who lived just next to my house. The guy got married; they were the most ideal, beautiful couple, they had two girls, Age 6 and 3, Marriage didn’t turned out to be good. Wife was so impolite, bad mannered, aggressive and abusive in words. Couple fought for so silly reasons on daily basis. She always asked for divorced on casual fights. The guy made every possible move to save the marriage. He cried and begged her to be with him and consider 2 girls.
Anyways they both divorced after 7 years of marriage; she didn’t take kids with her.
Guy got married again after two years.. They are truly most beautiful & loving couple. He is such a nice husband and a father. Considering a single father.
