A new partner aibu.

[twitterandtweet]

Hi! Perhaps not so much of an aibu as aib a wimp?
So, I have 1dd aged 4, was with a guy for two years, not her dad but he was fond of her. He didn't treat me too well though, constantly criticising me, putting me down in public, telling me I was too fat and he didn't fancy me five minutes after sex etc... I could go on...
So we split up, about a year ago. He stays in semi regular contact and asks to see dd occasionally which I agree to for her sake as I don't want her to feel rejected.
So, he invited us to come and stay with him for the weekend (we live about 4 hours apart) to take dd to a local event. I agreed and we arrived (after a nightmare journey)
In short, when we settled in I discovered that not only did he have a new partner but she lives with him and dd and I would be introduced very shortly!!
He hadn't warned me about any of this so I was surprised to say the least.
Anyway, we stayed, I was polite, we had an ok (although slightly strained) weekend.... The four of us.
However, when I laughingly told my two closest friends about my odd weekend they were furious on my behalf, called me a wimp and said I should have walked out and refused to stay there.
Should I? Was I a drip to just sit tight and wait for the weekend to end? Or are my friends being a bit ott about this?

Cut out contact and tell your DD's dad why you split up with this man. You don't want him seeing her if she's at her dads.

Emotional abuse is still abuse. Unfortunately, many women don't realise this and stay in relationships for far longer than they should, because they think it's just the bloke being a dick at times, especially if the bloke is nice other times.

Do some googling and have a read about EA.
