I'm a single mom, of a beautiful 10 month old. I am not with the father, and spent my whole pregnancy single as well the last 10 months. And I have not done anything sexually in that time. Until now, I have a crush on a guy and we had sex. Is it wrong of me to have sex when I'm not in a relationship? Will it be a bad influence on my son? Does having sex with my crush hurt my chances at a relationship with him?
I'm so confused



I wouldn't advise continuing to sleep with him if you are hoping for a relationship because what you don't want is for him to not appreciate you. I don't think it's bad for your son at all unless you're doing it in front of him.
By sleeping with him your givin him wat he wants. theres a sayin you cant go back sexually with a guy and a girl cant go back in life style. In both cases for me its true my bf always wants sex and i like the life i live. So i wouldnt sleep with him anymore until your in a relationship
dont sex with someone who wnt have you in a relation. because you have a kid . and guys dont givev a damn to a kid they dont father (even girls do the same ) you are a mother as well. and you will have to look at the best interest of your kid
having sex while not being in a relationship is not wrong, dont worry about it, just dont make a habbit out of it.
it will only be a bad infulance if u have different guys coming in and out of your house all the time. just the once wont hurt.
as for having a relationship with this guy.... you mustn't let him use you. It's likely he'll want more sex, but thats tough, it was a moment of weakness, and it wont happen again. not with him, not with any guy. there is no reason as to why you shouldnt be allowed to have and enjoy sex, but its always better when its with the guy of you dreams, and you know that hes all yours.
Well I don't think these girls are moms...
I kicked my ex husband out of my house when my daughter was 7 months old, (I didn't want him in the delivery room either). I was a single mom of three.
I met someone after my daughter's first birthday (second person I dated after the split). I threw a going away party for a friend at my house, all the kids up stairs, many of my friends had kids sleeping up stairs too. I was about 2 week into the relationship but we just made it official.
One thing lead to another and we ended up sleeping together, I was too drunk to care if he would care later and was so horny, it'd been forever! We stayed up all night talking about anything and everything and I asked him when did he feel like sleeping together was too soon. He said it depends on when the couple feels its right. I didn't really believe him but I figured oh well there is plenty of fish. I wasn't looking for a father for my kids, my ex was a jerk and I wanted to raise my kids on my own at that point. 2 years later we moved in together and a year after that I gave birth to my fourth child who is now 8 1/2 months old. My kids call him Dad. He's perfect for me. He's just perfect! My ex well, he doesn't give a sh*t. And I only care that it hurts my two oldest who have memories of him. Good guys are out there. AND they DO care about your kids! some don't you do have to sort through the losers. I did not let my kids see me hug my now husband for many months. I made it clear to him that I didn't want o confuse them, I didn't want them to get hurt if we didn't work out. When I realized he was sticking around and loved me for who I was and loved the type of mother I was and the fact he was in love with my kids too, (his face lite up when he came over) I slowly started to show affection towards him which my kids (3 and 4 years old at the time) were so happy about.
I know lots of mom's that have gone through very similar situations, BOTH my sisters. My Aunt (45 years old, have a 15 year old son) and several friends.
You can change you life style, you should try to seek out qualities that normally you'd think were so dorky, because you don't want to continue being attracted to the same low life losers. That (basically) what my councilor told me. I needed extra help getting past (abuse) the things my ex husband did and help to not go for Mr Cool, Mr Cheater and Mr Abusive, and ready to raise 3 Kids on my own.
Just try not to get too emotionally attached to anyone till you know it will last. You do need to set an example.
