Context. Me and DD’s father met in 2017. DD
born 2019.

Broke up last year. Reconciling.

Durinf the relationship I put myself on the back burner, we only did stuff if I paid, I bought him clothes etc. he works full time. I paid all the bills.

We live apart now but have been seeing each other and coparenting. Reconciling to an extent.

I get 200 a month CSA. He doesn’t have DD overnight.
He still gets treats off me etc. Has been hounding me to sort DD’s passport out as she’s never been abroad.
I paid the fee. We went to the cinema on Friday paid for by me.
I put petrol in his car. I also do not have a lot of time to myself and virtually no social life as we coparent he doesn’t have DD alone.

He’s messaged me today saying he’s in Benidorm with his friend. I didn’t know anything about this.

I am so upset and hurt.
I know im gonna get harsh comments. I had a very angry dad and an overly critical self absorbed mum so my views on relationships have been skewed. Most men I’ve dated have had issues. I put up with it because I don’t know anything different.

AIBU to be fucking angry at him and myself!
Please give me a shake.

I think about 6 weeks if hes earning money normally and not self employed or cash in hand. If its those then probably pointless, speaking from experience 🙄

I’ve got work in 9 hours and I can’t sleep I’m so upset.
He said he didn’t tell me as he knew I’d react.

I’m so humiliated.

Make now, this hour or minute the last time you ever allow it and start treating you and your DC to fun stuff as it wont be being wasted on that loser!

DD never goes without I will say that. I make sure she has everything
How long does the CSA take

Hes an absolute using scum bag and that money you are wasting on him so he can fuck around in benidorm could be spent on you or your DC or their future.

Give your self a slap, run for the hills and go through the CSA and get the amount he should be paying. He sounds utterly revolting tbh.

He’s never going to out you or your child first is he. He is using you as an ATM

stop the reconciliation and move on
