Need advice..little rant

So my bf has a son. I dont date guys with kids because i can see what it already comes with built in problems such as baby mama and my time cut short. Im really unconfortable with the situation becuase he claims they are not together and she has feelings for him. We've argued about it and ive tried to ride it out and stick by his words. I do a LOT for him and barely get anything in return. IF anything at all. Ive tried to end it but he insists he wants this to work hes just going thru a lot right now far as legal issues and money so im tryin to stick by his side. Weve been talkin evryday since Oct and finally starting dating March and i really really like this guy which is the only reason i looked past the kid. I respect him being a father and trying to work with the time thing but i dnt think its fair. I havent met his kid and recently i found out he doesnt even want me to because he says hes uncomfortable with me meeting him right now. I respect that but the way things have been going almost 10 months i think i shouldve met him by now. I havent even been to his home but i do know where he lives. He drives here to see me so ive been letting that slide but im also unconfortable with not have been to his home as well😐 this is translating in my head as maybe hes still with the mom and doesnt want his son seeing him with another woman but if ur not with the mother and not ever getting back with her than i think hes going to have to get use to seeing other woman around. Not to toot my own horn but i am a quiet shy woman very repsectful im not a party animal and i dont dress raunchy and he knows im very good with kids (his son is 5) as ive raised my little brother and my nephew. I am the type of woman u could introduce to your mom.. I just spoke to him on the phone and i called him because he hasnt called or texted me allll day and says its because he forgets when he is with his son😕 and his sons mother went on a cruise. This really hurt my feelings badly like how do you forget that u have a girlfriend?? I really like this boy but i feel like im doing way too much to be forgotten about and its not like this is the first time hes done this just hes finally admitting to it. He said he forgot to text and say hi at least but he didnt forget about me (makes no sense) idk im really upset about this and as much as i want him as much as i wish this could work im giving up and i dmt want to but i know i should.. Any advice opnions words of encouragement could help.. He said he will call me back in a few and im really thinking about ending things with him😓 We're both 27 yrs old btw and we were childhood friends i didnt just meet this guy.. This is long term he says he wants to be with me its him keeping me in this, im not forcing the child thing it was just my opinion..
*******UPDATE******* i would like to remain annonmous so i cant really comment each individually like i would like to but thank you everybody who commented!💗 we spoke and we're on better terms....FOR NOW😕 we'll see what the future holds. I really hope hes not just leading me on because he knows im ready to leave him and thats when he really behaves. He needs me, i dont need him...but i want him :/ ugh!! Relationships smh thks again ladies! xo
