This is the first time I've asked for outside advice. Bare with me. I have a 6 week old baby girl. I only knew her Dad for about a month before pregnancy happened. I was coming out of a messy relationship and seem to have jumped into another. Anyway I got pregnant and we weren't going to go through with it at first. I was only 19 and wasn't sure I would ever want children. He was 23. After a lot of thought we mutually decided the other alternative wasn't an option. Although for some of the pregnancy I was happy about it I was also scared at the the thought of being with my BF and him being in my life no matter what. We went on as a young couple and had fun, moved in together and I thought maybe I could make a go of it. I knew though that I wasn't as happy as I should be and I didn't want to be with him long term. When my daughter was born, we were elated and adjusting slowly but surely to being parents. The relationship is a bad one for the most part. Snapping at each other, a constant battle not to have an argument. I hoped that given we are intelligent, logical and sensitive people we would be able to work through any problems but that's just not happening no matter how hard we try. Even if we could get on an even keel, Some part of me would be miserable because he's not who I want to end up with. I don't know how I can end it. What it would be like having a new baby and being separated parents. He does pretty much %50 of the looking after and I do want it to stay that way and not be accused of keeping them apart. I'm at the end of my rope so don't know what I'm looking for here. Perhaps just confirmation from someone else that I'd be doing the right thing for us all by moving out. Thank you for taking the time to read if you've managed to say with me this long.
