Fancy yourself as an agony aunt? Add your answer to this question! A

I know it sounds a bit strange, I mean, why would he? But he's still young, but once you hit 30s it seems a lot older than your 20s! He probably just wants a bit of fun.
Try not to take it too much to heart, just realise that he's just not ready to settle down. Good luck :]

Maybe there hasn't been enough time since his bad break up from thus said woman who he has a child with and having to still deal with a shitty "ex" he doesn't have the mental capacity to deal with another woman right now. He has a bad attitude and it's no fault of yours. Men do this sometimes after they've been wronged. We all do it to a point. He probably needs a couple of years by himself before plunging back into another relationship. He's probably feeling angry and bitter over the last one. It's not that a relationship is riddled with "hassles" but it takes work. You have to think of the other person and play nice. And to some people, work equals hassle. Maybe in a few years he'll be the ideal mate. But for now, give him the space he needs to work through his angst. Good luck.
