Hello everyone,
I've never been on mumsnet, but I'm sitting on a Sunday having wrecked my own relationship with a man I adore....
We rarely argue except when I've had too much to drink and unleash a fight about stuff that's been building up. My boyfriend got divorced 2 years ago and has a four year old son who I adore from the marriage. It was a brief marriage and not a happy one. He ex wife has remarried but their relationship remains fairly toxic with constant sniping and moaning from him about things she has or has not done. Last week he called her his 'wife' which annoyed me. He knew I was annoyed but, as usual, we brushed over it and didn't talk it through. I know he adores me and is so loving and kind. At 41 I really thought this is the man I would marry. Then, last night I drank too much and gave him a really hard time. I was downright nasty. He dropped me off and wouldn't come in. I then drove to his house to talk it through and he made me leave and told me it was over. I am devastated at what I have done. I do find the presence of his ex wife tough to deal with at times as there is so much bitterness between them and constant sniping. However, I am also aware my own behaviour was appalling. What should I do? Is there any chance he will calm down and we can give things another go? I feel utterly wretched.
Thanks.
