To uproot mine and my kids life..

My children's father and partner of 12 years told me he didn't want us to be together anymore last year. Me and the kids left.
I started dating someone who I'd known a while, I expected it to be casual but I was taken aback by how much I liked.. and started to fall in love with, him.
My ex then said he wanted to give it another go. I wanted my house and my family back together. I wanted the 2.4 perfect family I thought I would have. He has been trying but he's still the same short tempered, sarcastic bully he always was.
All I can think about is the other man. He said he'll hang on for me, he thinks I'm the love of his life.
With my kids dad we'd have the family together, be comfortable financially, I'd not have to uproot my life.
Me and the other man can barely afford a 2 bed flat.
I can't get him out of my head, how he makes me feel, how we laugh, how kind and gentle he is compared to my ex. My ex has called me all sorts of names, I can never imagine this guy would. He's so nice natured.
What can I do? Uproot my kids and my life for 'love', or put up and shut up with my kids dad?

Other man aside you can't stay with a bully who calls you names, it's bad for you and an awful example for your dc. You need to make a plan to leave and make sure you get maintenance and any benefits etc that you're entitled to. You can work out if and how you and other man have a future when you have extracted yourself from your unhappy relationship.
