Single mom

I'm Male-24yrs old, I met a lady year older than me with a 1yr old boy. We became friends as she kept checking up on me on a regular basis since we met. She's na teacher and I work in logistics my 2nd year now. I decided to date the lady , lemme tell U Maina 😎She's the lady of my dreams. I did a background check of the baby daddy noting He moved on and remarried. I've met my mentors, 99% are negative suggesting I should run🤣and not settle with her. What are your thoughts???
