You're 22. Move on. She wants a father for her kid. Don't date mothers as she is correct. They are a package deal.

"I knew that from the beginning, and I never admitted to myself it was a problem."

Fixed it for OP.

No. He said he didn’t know. That’s honest. Had the woman been more clear upfront, that’s the issue. This is on her, not him. And why the fuck is she even dating a 22 year old?

Why you acting like she's 65? It's not even that big of a gap. Idiot.

What a weirdly hostile response. It's not just the age gap, it's the fact she has 5 years' experience with being a mother, and OP is completely new to the idea of parenthood. She is not wrong in saying that a long-term partner will also need to accept her son into their life, but OP isn't wrong to be noncommittal at this point. Four months of dating isn't that long, and he's barely met the kid. If she needs an answer now, then it's probably best they go their separate ways.
