I've been with my OH for 2 years. We've had a lot of problems in the past, most recent was an affair he had. I've gotta go, I know that, but there's a part of me that tells me it's a bad idea. I do love him and since the affair a year ago he's been fantastic, loving and helpful.
So here's the thing, I don't currently work, I'm studying and also getting over a bad bout of mental health problems. DD (not his) will start school next year and I am totally and utterly terrified that I won't be able to get an appropriate job considering it will have to be flexible and home based (because of mental health). The thought of him sharing the load is a comfort blanket to me but it would mean I'd have to live with that horrible mix of resentment and low self esteem that I've been left with since what he did. I'm not even sure he would help out much..hes not worked for a year.
I've tried to confide in family and friends but I always get the "it'll be fine". I need some mumsnet style truth thrown at me right now. I'm just really worried about the future and coping on my own. Or maybe I can get over what he did? I don't know if I'm just going through the healing process.
