well, we grew up in the same neighborhood so "dating for a couple of months" also translates to "we've known each other for 28 years and fooled around a bit when we were teenagers".
I'm absolutely 100% committed. We're more or less perfect for each other. Equivalent intelligence, constant witty banter, incredible chemistry, similar tastes in just about everything, equally skilled in a lot of the things we like to do together, disgustingly sarcastic, hate cats, etc...
We've made "beat around the bush" statements that have long term implications. She just introduced kiddo to Transformers on Netflix and I offered to donate my collection of toys to the cause. "Well, it'll have to be when he's older" as well as tickets for hockey games next season and my personal favourite "we'd have to be absolutely pants on head retarded to stop this time around". I mean, that says that she's pretty much thinking that we're taking this the distance so I figure she just doesn't want to rush anything since we know we have time. I'm totally cool with that and she knows that I respect that her boy is, and always will be, the priority and if we do end up together that he'll become my priority as well. Hopefully with the addition of one or two more. I'm from a blended family so I know how it works.
The deal with the father is a bit on the brutal side. Divorce due to domestic violence which was almost 3 years ago. The boy is 5 for a couple more months. The father has since had visitation revoked and hopefully there will be a successful legal deal in Sept. that will have him permanently removed with restraining orders and such.
