When my mothers boyfriend (now my step-dad) moved in, all I wanted was some engagement and him to care. He did neither and I'm not particularly fond of the man. He provided a good home and anything we needed but not much beyond that. Often put himself and his own kids over us (and still does)
Don't be that guy.
Thanks for all the input. Lots and lots of good points from everyone
The above quote is what I'm afraid of doing the most. I have no worries about being abusive physically or emotionally but I have a tendency to come off as uncaring, sometimes rightly so, sometimes not. Plus I'm 33 and have lived the last 10 out of 13 years by myself so I can be a selfish fuck with my time.
Good example of me being a selfish fuck is last night. Her son called me while I was playing Dota so I sent it to voice mail. He left me a message that he got some awards in Boy Scouts and wanted to tell me. So I texted him back congrats etc. Talked to his mom later and she said he wanted to call me before he called his dad and was super excited to tell me. Then I realize I should have called him back and felt like shit. This kid really wants me to be a part of his life and I'm just like "meh". Need to fix that and not be that guy, as Noodlebro pointed out.
