Can I marry a single mother?

She seems to be tied to her child's father

Summary:  Marriage or relationship with a man or woman who has children with another person is always a problem.  Because of having a child together, it is nearly impossible for them to completely breakup and that means that the next person has to give them some freedom in maintaining contact and socializing together for the sake of the child.  Below is the case of a man whose girlfriend is going beyond that by even sleeping with the father of the child.
Sean writes, "I have this girl whom I love and she loves me too very much but she has a 3 months old child from from a guy she has had an on-and-off relationship. After being away from him for 6 months she got back with him and that is how she got pregnant. It was not intended but the child came anyway. She does not like the guy because he is childish, selfish, and inconsiderate. They have not been able to fully breakup because she feels she still owes him some respect as the child's father. She even lets him sleep in her bed, yet she wouldn't let me sleep with her. We do not live together though and the father of the child has his own place too. I really love this girl but I do not know whether it is a good idea to propose marriage to her. What do you think?"

Something is not right about this arrangement. If she loves you as much as you think she does, why would she get back with an ex, and even worse, have a child with him (did she not know about birth control)? And then that man is in her bed while you are not. In other words, you should run from her as fast as you can. She is simply using for whatever you are worth but in reality she is stuck with the father of her child. They both probably even think of you as an idiot to believe that you are in love with her while they are happily together as a family.

If this relationship has to go anywhere -- and I think it is very naive of you to think of marriage -- she first has to breakup with that boyfriend of hers. Yes, I understand that due to a child together they will need to maintain contact till the child is 18 and even later, but that does not mean that they have to share a bed together. They can discuss most issues related to the child over the phone and he never has to step inside the door (as most divorced men do when the come to pick up or drop off their child). She has to stop being promiscuous, and if not, you do not have a relationship with her.
