Sorry, but I couldn't read this wall of print. White space and paragraphs would really help.

If you can’t stsnd his kid it’s better to leave the relationship. Many have done that. It doesn’t mean you are a bad person.

You should at least use some periods in your posts! But I did make it the whole way through.

Dating is a time when you test the waters to see if you're compatible. Maybe you can't stand his drinking or his messy house so you pitch him. But if you marry him, you can't really expect anything other than a lot of drinking and a messy house.

Some of us can be trained not to be messy or not to drink so much. But that kid is never going anywhere. The writing is on the wall, it's up to you to read it. I say bail now, but I hate kids.

You need to realize that, at any time, your boyfriend can have 100% custody of son.

6 months and living together. You love a child you don't like and barely know... This doesn't sound ideal for you. Do yourself and find a boyfriend who has no children.

And periods!!  Punctuation helps the reader.

If you don’t like how this kid behaves remember that your BF is his parent and this kid’s behaviors are a direct reflection of your BF’s abject failure as a parent.

If you marry this guy.... don’t breed with him.  After all his current behaviors as a parent are the most likely the predictor of how your own child(ren) will turn out.

 

Good luck.

I didn't know you had to be grammatically correct to post on this site and ask for help!

No one said you had to be grammatically correct to post or ask for help. What was said regarding grammar and punctuation was that  white space and punctuation helps the reader understand the post and read it comfortably.

Those who don't care enough to write in an intelligable fashion are not going to get the same focus that those who make an effort to communicate effectively are going to get.

I read the entire OP, but it was painful.  Others read it too and even commented on the OPs situation.  No one was criticizing, we were only asking for some consideration from the person asking for help to help us help them.
