I bet you would give in. You don't seem like you have the fortitude to resit the alluring curves of a woman.

Parody of actual AJUMP23
When I was in college I went out with a single mom because she was hot. She was a nurse at the hospital where I worked in the ER. I met her kid, I met her parents. We played "Who wants to be a millionaire" on their PC. I won the first time I tried it. Winning Question was "What was Nixon's middle name". :Millhouse". Her family was astonished they had apparently had the game for a while and never won. We went to her place and made out. At work later after talking she said we could not date because she had too much baggage and I was too good for her. I was like "OK" but don't I get to decide that some. But that was the end of it. We still worked together and kissed now and then, but that was it.

That's not really fair, what about the Kat blowup doll

I made a lot of personal sacrifices to be with women who have curvy bodies. Let's just say my priorities have always leaned towards appreciating curves over other traits.
But women with kids? Nah, hard pass my man
I. Fucking. Hate. Kids.
I hated kids when I was a kid myself.

Fuuuuuck.
My ex was similar with money. Although not as bad as that.
One fine day she decided she wanted a new wordrobe and new kitchen bits that all matched.
In her wisdom she got a one day money loan. You know the ones with the stupidly high APR.
I think it was for about £3k
When I asked her where she got the cash from she said it was from her parents.
She didn't tell me for six months and she only ended up tell me because her debt was out of control.
We were together for just shy of a decade and the shit she would lie about just sent my head sailing.
Me nor my family could ever work out why she lied about things. But she had weird demons too I guess.
I don't hold any ill will againts her. I hope she's gotten on with life and sorted her head out.
I'm in my late 30's and i'm content with being single. I get loanly some days but Try to fill my life with hobbies or new projects.
But the best cold shower for me is just remembering the constant headaches and feeling like I was wating for the next drama to occur.
It sounds like you've given her a lot of yourself and probably still are by picking her kid up for her.
Focus on yourself bud. Get a motorbike or get some helicopter lessions. Got climbing or join a boxing club.
It will take a bit of time to get over the hump but you will eventually feel like a new man.
Good luck
edit: Mate of mine once said. "If wemon didn't have a fanny or tits then we would have absolutely nothing to do with them"
It's a very basic saying buy I can't find fault in it.

I would like to think I'd say no in that situation. It would just be interesting to me if she did start indicating that in 2 or 3 months...I'd catch her out because she's always been about the money and having new things

That level of income and outgoing would give me panic attacks, I think. I got a credit card when I was 18, got into not very much debt, and my Dad bailed me out and let me pay him back monthly with no interest, which put me off getting into debt ever again. If I've got anything on my credit card nowadays, I am waiting for the bill so I can pay it off immediately.
Some years ago I went out with someone who was very impulsive with money and had racked up what I thought at the time was a lot of debt. I have wondered what kind of life I'd have had if I had stayed with someone as bad with money as she was (that isn't anything to do with why we broke up, btw). As I get older, I am more and more aware of planning for the future, and I think my girlfriend of 10+ years and I are being relatively sensible. But I think with someone like that, unless you've got the money to carry both of you, I think a fairly miserable later life awaits...!
Sorry for that very boring and unromantic take on it.

A couple of things I wish i knew when i was younger. Though i am slightly younger than OP, i met my wife in my 30's who was a single mother with kids. They were also financially stressed.
Couple of key things. Having "some" experience dating for a bit up until this point.
1.) As long as you have a decent physical attraction, remember this in long term going to fade some. It is a chemical reaction, that will change over time.
2.) Because of point #1. Pick someone you respect! It doesn't sound like you respect that woman or agree with her on most choices. Find someone who on major decisions you have similar thinking with.
3.) I personally was surprised when I stumbled across my own "Cinderella", who was classy, nice and intelligent, and just didn't have the ability to look nice all the time. She was the right choice.
***Remember though, it is likely you will never 100% agree with the person. My wife and I disagree on things all the time, but on big things we do agree, typically.***
The two greatest pieces of advice I ever received regarding women:
1.) Remember you are looking for a "Cell mate" not a "life mate". This person you will be in close connection with your adult life. The both of you will deal with each other's bathroom habits, life style, eating habits, drinking habits, mental & physical health, etc. Look for the right choice.
Advice from a plastic surgeron I know.
2.) For the price of a Porsche you can make you partner look like Barbie or Ken. If you want to make that type of investment, it is up to you to determine which one you will get more miles out of!

Credit cards are the embodiment of evil. Never, ever get in debt. Never buy anything on credit you cannot afford to pay outright.

Nah, they're totally fine if you know what you're doing. I'd never buy anything I couldn't afford, but I use it to get discounts, cashback and extra purchase protection, and like I said, I pay it off as soon as the bill comes in.
If you haven't got the money, it's a different story.
In fairness there may be single mothers who don't have custody of the child, though it's rare.

Same here I buy literally everything with a CC for the things you mentioned and just another layer of insulation from my actual bank accounts
Now when people buy things they can't afford and spend 2 years paying off a PS5 that's when its a problem imo

This is the biggest issue.
Most people will use credit cards to pay for shit they cannot afford.
By all means use a credit card but only use it IF you are actually able to clear the balance.

My wife asked why I put our taxes in the credit card. I said I am not giving the federal government the ability to draft from my account.

That too
Literally don't give anyone that access, I won't even use my bank card for a bottled water because my bank cards never leave the house
Nah man, Children of the Corn was about killing everyone that WASN'T a kid!
HRK69 saw Children of the Corn when he was like 7 and thought it was a documentary.
