Both of their families had money, so that wasn't a factor, but the whole situation was just too much.

I started hanging out with her and she invited to a family BBQ. There was a moment where her kid started crying because her crippled father didn't/couldn't hug her anymore and it made her sad...and a light bulb went off in my head and I said, "Bad idea. Very bad idea! Run before you do something stupid and fall for this chick!"

She was real cool and I was definitely into her. But that shit was way too much for me. It bummed me out because she really was an awesome chick, but I realized that no sane, good dude would get involved in that shit. She was like 24 and had her whole life ahead of her, but fuck, who wants to jump into that mess.

I have friends who started dating single moms and man does that shit get ugly fast.

I have a story for you (and the rest of peeps who opened this thread)... I'll use bulletpoints because I hate the WALL OF TEXT posts.

- be 10
- move to a new town
- first day of school, I meet this kid since we're in the same class... let's call him Mike.
- find out we live on the same street
- become best friends and even our families become friends
- his dad is a fighter pilot in military... always away from home.
- we're both 18 now
- he falls for this 20-something chick with a kid... chick's fucking hot (9.5/10).
- she's single mom
- I tell him that he should stay away because my dad told me that lesson when I was 16.
- he doesn't listen.
- I ask my dad to talk to him... he ignores us
- I move away to go to University
- lose touch for two years
- come back, meet him, we catch up...
- still living with the same chick... didn't go to college because he'd be away from her.
- raises her kid as her own
- girl's HUSBAND gets out of jail after 7 years!
- girl still loves him, breaks up with Mike
- husband beats up Mike
- Mike's in hospital... it's fucking bad... docs put him in induced coma
- get a call from Mike's mom
- fly back home
- I'm sitting in hospital... Mike slowly recovers
- contemplating revenge... baseball bats & lead pipes
- husband is killed by his ex-drug gang members within 2 weeks of being out (he owed a lot of money)
- bitch comes back and begs Mike to forgive her & wants him back
- I tell her to get her ass out of the hospital and never to call him back.
- Mike too tells the bitch to get lost.

Mike's now happily married with a normal chick.
