Bro, you have a good woman and a kid, yet you are afraid to get married and lock it down and your outlet (in regards to that fear maybe) is sexting other women? Figure out your values. You're pretty much living married life minus having it on paper. Are you afraid of marriage? Is there something about your relationship now that you can't handle or don't want? Is that why you have delayed so long despite having kids together? You need to ask yourself these things and listen to those deep answers whether you "like" the true answer or not. Then TALK TO your significant other about all of it. Don't filter yourself. Put it all out there and let her see what is going on in your mind. Communication is key and will start to build trust again. Or, ultimately cut your losses if that is what you decide and leave. Either way, quit keeping your child and SO in purgatory and make a decision. It's not fair to any of you to keep living in a bubble of instability, indecision, and possibly infidelity. You've got the balls to make some calls. Use them.
