Not everyone should be a step parent.

GP, you don’t have to do it.

I’d much rather be alone forever than treat another human being as a mere obstacle to my happiness.

It's one of those choice not choices. I love my partner a lot. We bought a house together with a great yard with a significant fruit and veggie garden.

Separating would be significantly destructive / damaging on both a personal and financial levels.

That said, I entered this relationship without fully understanding the impact of an autistic child. I would not condemn anyone who refused to be in a relationship if the other person had an autistic child.
