I don’t know that kid or that guy, but seeing that short video, I don’t think that will ever happen.

Hopefully it works out.
One of my friends married a girl with a kid whom she encouraged to legally change his name to the step dad's.
Then she divorced the step dad.

I realize this a toughie and not for most guys. It takes a unique baw, but for all of those who frown upon NOT-considering dating / marrying a good woman with children (who may have made a mistake long ago), here's food for thought. You may be leaving good women and special connections on the table.
This was me in dating after my ex, I wasn't really sure I wanted to date someone with a kid. But I ended up doing so and we're now engaged. And my soon to be step kid has asked to be my maid of honor. Best man I've ever been with.

It's just wasn't for me. Im sure there's good single moms out there but the vast majority of them fit the stereotype as a low IQ, incompetent, tattooed medical assistant that drives a Nissan Altima.
My biggest pet peeve was not being able to correct her kid but still having to pay for everything. Only a sucker would fall into that trap.

A buddy of mine did this. Less than a year after the adoption was finalized, the mom filed for divorce and sued him for child support since he was now the legal father. That has permanently shattered his ability to trust people.

What a darling young lady! And look at how safe and secured she feels around her dad.
May all children be so fortunate.

Issue is. It's not your kids unless you adopt. And I've come to learn the hard way that after your wife dips out that whatever relationship you had with your step kids can be erased. I loved my step kids. We did Disney and all multiple times a year. When me and wife split she destroyed whatever i had with her kids. Lied and told them whatever. Long story short i went from carpool and really loving them to being shut out their lives. I'll never ever ever care for someone else's kids again.
I was raised without my father in my life, by his choice, and remember my mother saying many times she never remarried because she didn’t want another man telling her how to raise her kids. Exercise caution with women with children, many of them probably feel just like my mother did and you can end up in a no win situation.

My buddy adopted his two step kids then their mother divorced him, and he was on the hook for child support.

Most single moms wouldn't give the same man a chance if they didn't have kids. It's better to just wait to get married. Besides a lot of single mothers chose those guys and a lot of them get help from the government and from affirmative action. If they can't get ahead with all those privileges, they are likely very low IQ or lazy.

Maybe
However, past behavior is generally a good indicator of future behavior. The woman could dump you in 5 years just like she did husband 1

In hindsight, do you think there were signs that your buddy was dating a sociopath before this happened?
Because it would take a sociopath to do that.
