the word is naive and she obviously was as she fell for you! Poor girl! You stand no chance of getting much support from anyone here as you clearly don't give a toss about this woman or her child. If you did, you would put some effort into making the relationship work. But if you don't love her, then there is no chance of that happening anyway. So let her have a life! You say she is naive - ... and you are not? You are as much to blame for having a child in a loveless relationship as she is ... in fact more, as you say she does actually love you. What's your excuse then????
