Partner ruined our day

I've posted in here a few times about my partner. I'm ending it with her after today..... feel so empty and upset.

Today was the last day before my DS goes on holiday abroad for a week for with dad. I wanted it to be a nice day. We went to an adventure park in my area. She was off with me from the get go.

She was picking at my DS who's 6 asking him what he's done for me this morning and then reeling off loads of stuff that her daughter done this morning and really praising her in front of us.

My DS made a friend on the play area and her DD didn't want to play with them so walked off and she admitted this. My partner then kept digging at my DS, kept walking off and leaving us and wouldn't reply when I spoke to her. I asked her 3 times to not leave us, she heard as she stopped and then carried on walking. I asked her for a quiet word, asked why she's being unkind she said she wasn't doing anything. I walk in front turn around and her and her daughter are whispering.

So I said you are being unkind and this is ruining the day, she claimed she was innocent and had done nothing wrong but was smirking so i walked off and havent spoken or seen her since. How can a grown woman be mean to a 6 year old.

I think today was the last straw and I can't carry on with her anymore.

Thank goodness you have put your child first!

When she is trying to manipulate her way back into your life, remember every shitty thing she's done to your child and remind yourself you don't need a relationship more than your child needs to be protected from people who like to treat him like shit.

And maybe write them all down so you can't start telling yourself it wasn't that bad, your son didn't really notice, she didn't mean to and all the other minimising shit people tell themselves when they want to try to justify going back.

Thank you, that's a really good suggestion about writing it down. Think I might do that. Its good to see all the little things all together (and the big things)

Well done, stay strong mate. Its better to be alone than to be treated like sh*t by your supposed partner.
