How do I handle being in this situation? And how do I know he is truly worth going through this? Reply to this Question

Don't make him feel bad about the fact that he has kids. Children are innocent in all of these relationship problems. I am sure that you will want a baby some day. Don't you want to go through that with a man who has never gone through it before, that way you can share all the firsts together? It is a special bonding thing & he has already been through this with another woman. He probably will not want any more children either.

Its a big decision, but as the answer above, its his child and he has to be involved as a dad its the right thing to do.
You need to decide now wether you can deal with this, not only for your own sake, but for the babys sake. These situations can work, but only if you feel its worth it working, and only you can decide that. Good luck

 How would you feel about him if he could choose you over the baby? That wouldn't say anything good about him, would it?
This baby is his, and that he's planning on being in that baby's life for the long haul says a lot of really good things about him and his character.
If you can't accept the baby then I think you need to do him and his children a big favor and leave him.

 What do you mean by you can't accept the baby? Is he raising the baby or does the baby live with the mother? Just remember the baby is a permanent fixture in your boyfriend's life. But more information would be helpful.
