It's not selfish at all, as others have stated. You are just at a place in your life where you know what you want, and don't want. Never having kids of your own, and then walking into a situation with a 15 year old, is like walking into a war zone. My advice is, don't do it. Be smart about moving forward with this person, if you choose to do so. As mentioned, wait until the kid is out of the house and then blend your life with hers. Good luck!
