🎶 Should I stay or should I go? 🎶

Background:

I am a couple of years older than my boyfriend yet he seems more mature. He has a set of twin boys who are so sweet but I have never dealt with a guy who has kids before and I’m starting to think I may not be the best person to do so.

We’re not usually allowed to go out much and if we do it’s not for long or it has to be late at night. Our personalities don’t always mesh because I’m adventurous and he’s not. (He’s a homebody.) I like to be able to go wherever whenever but it is hard to. I don’t want to seem selfish so I usually do what he wants and only ask to go out once a month. But I am young and I feel like it’s the best time be selfish.

Recently the mother of his kids sent him a motion to try and get their custody changed all because she has not met me yet. (We’ve only been dating for 5 months.) I don’t mind meeting her but I didn’t realize how bad it looked that I hadn’t met her by now so I told him it could wait.

My current boyfriend and I have hit a snag and we’re both in dark places. He’s sad because he doesn’t want his kids taken from him but he’s still trying to push himself to worry about me. I feel as though I’m adding too much stress to the situation and that I won’t be able to get what I want from him.

I don’t want to seem like a bad person just because the relationship is hard. He’s taught me things that I didn’t know and he’s an awesome Dad, but sometimes it feels like a bit much on top of the things I already have.

What should I do?
