A twenty-two-year-old woman approached Simi for relationship advice about a thirty-year-old man she is presently dating who also has a child.
In response to the lady’s inquiry about how to tell her parents about her continued relationship, Simi wrote:
“It depends on what you both want out of the relationship. If you are talking about your parents, you should probably take this seriously.
So if this is serious, a child (especially someone else’s) is a big deal. If it seems like it’s not, it should be. Because
1. it shows how involved he is in his child’s life.
are from the fact that he’s a dad. If you’re only doing this only because you “love him
so much”, don’t.
If it’s more than that, for both of you, then trust that your parents will understand and support you or do it without their support.
Whatever you choose, you have to live with. He’s seen more life than you. So make sure you’re sure outside of him.”
