The babies part? Many men are proud to date women with babies. That's not a deterrent. Neither is the work it takes to raise them. I know many men that find that motherhood is attractive because it shows true dedication and metal. It's not easy. I've been a parent for a long time. When I date, some women don't like that I have other responsibilities. They don't get a second date if they don't understand that
You're a good person and will find that you are very attractive to others when you are ready to let your light shine. Really. I had that fear (a little). I have more dates and interests than time these days. It's not what I asked for, but I do enjoy it and the people I meet (most of them).
You may also find that your H is trolling the bottom of the barrel for a long while if you still watch. Don't. I found that to be more of a slap in the face before I stopped. It's their journey - love him enough to let him go to it.
