Hi all,
I have read several posts on here and some people share similar situations to me.
I won't go into a huge a mount of detail, but my partner of 7 years has recently told me she is not in love with anymore. We have a beautiful boy aged 3.5yrs and he is my world.
I have asked the cause and she said she didnt know and that she just didnt feel that way anymore. she has made the odd comment about how i could help clean more and i have asked if it is that, and she has said no - i have begged, been defensive and now im just empty , i really dont know what to do.
I know have been a bit over protective here and there, i have admitted that to her and apologised
I supported us financially by myself for 2.5 years and she stayed at home, i gave her money etc to go out so she didnt feel trapped.
My biggest issue, and one that makes me cry as i write this, is the future for my son. I have the normal ill feelings at the thought of my partner being with someone else.. but having that person in my sons life - its destroying me.
I know that this is highly likely to happen at some point, if it was soon - im not sure i could cope. im so scared my son will hate me, and think i left him - and in the future grow closer to his step dad than me
im sure others of you have been through this - i just wondered how you managed to cope and not cry every time you held your child
