You had a baby together- which means you each have a responsibility as a parent. And the best thing for your child is if you two stick together. (For now.) Kids who have a mother and a father (or at least a mother figure and father figure) usually grow up to be more well rounded. Keep in mind that whenever there are children involved, whenever there is a long term relationship involved, there WILL be arguments, and you can't run away from them. Healthy couples DO argue. I'm not sure the circumstances, but I would try to talk to your boyfriend. If you loved him enough to have a child with him, I'm sure you guys can work things out. As for the other guy you like, try to get to know him a little better. Maybe just start out being friends. (But definitely don't see him secretly behind your boyfriend's back.) Maybe he could be a mutual friend. Once you get to know him better, you'll know what you want to do. It's best to wait and see because you're right- he might not be what you expected. But then again, he might! Also make sure to find out if your child could fit into his life, if you should ever break up with your boyfriend and want to date the other guy.
