DON'T TELL HIM until he proposes. No man is worth knowing about your personal life unless they are willing to spend their lives with you.

The best time to tell him is the day he pops the question(proposes). The moment he does, don't say yes yet but tearfully tell him you don't deserve him or a good man like him. He will be curious and ask why. That is when you tell him. At that point, he will be sober and trying his best to show you he loves you regardless.

From when You notice things would be getting serious
Re: When Is The Right Time To Tell Him/Her Of A Child From Previous Relationship? by Fuckalldmods(f): 10:49pm On Jun 17, 2020
Honestly, I can't deal with it.

Tell me early or better still that moment the relationship start getting serious, so that we won't waste time building a relationship that won't stand or work. And again, if you hide it for long before telling me I will leave you not minding how long we have been together, it's better to tell me at early stage.

Anyway, I go still free you either ways.

What is the actual time? Immediately you met? Weeks, months after you met? Before you establish a relationship with him/her? When is the appropriate time that he/she will not get hurt nor walk away especially if they both met and love immediately?


You have to tell me as early as we start showing interest in each other.
Once you tell me, l will stay away from you like leprosy!
I am not going to be saddled with someone's leftover and responsibility.
If you want to have a child with someone, please be prepared to marry them.
Life is too complicated, to add another level of eternal complication to it.


Anyway, that is just me sha.

Immediately you meet please. If he's down for it ..fine. If he isn't, no wahala.
Save yourself the trauma of trying to figure out how to chip in such an important issue without destroying what you've both started.

Even if I am married to her before she told me, the relationship won't stand.
Had it been it is a man, it's understandable but a woman? No, because she gave birth to the baby, there is no way she won't know she has a child.

It is better to tell me at early stage(at that point I am beginning to take the relationship serious), so I can decide if I should keep her or not.

You mean once you met her maybe in ShopRite, you go ahead to introduce yourself and immediately include you're a father or mother of one?

Your first real date; the day you sit out to know each other a little more. That will determine if the both of you can continue or not.

As soon as you meet. I have seen a friend do it once when we were younger. She already had a child. We went out, two guys approached us in a bar and we started talking. She mentioned her son in the first 5 or 10 minutes of the conversation. Proudly. cool I was thinking to myself that this is how it is supposed to be. What is the point of hiding your child or withholding the information? To what end? For how long?
U get sense. More wisdom for u

Mine is true life story. I am a man. I have a 2yr old boy before I mate my wife. We dated for 5 years before I told her that I have a boy. But then , I told her that there is something about me she will need to know. She was a virgin then. I allowed love to eat up her brain to an extent that nothing means anything to her.
The day I told her that I have a 7 years old son , she couldn't wait to assume being called my son's mother. I apologized that for the delay . That I was scared of loosing her. Kpakam we are married for over 8years now. And my son is 23yrs and a final year student
