Hi, my ds father has left us, ds was only 8 1/2 months old at the time. I don't think it was planned to leave when he did but he had definitely been thinking of it. He says he doesn't love me anymore and his feelings changed when ds was 1/2 months old. I feel like that having the baby triggered something in him!
He's under a lot of pressure in work, he's self employed and the business isn't doing very well. I think something had to give and it was our relationship.
I think I'm beginning to accept that he's not coming back, when he picks up ds he speaks to me like nothing has happened!
I read an article that said when a baby comes a man can feel overwhelmed, lonely and isolated, men can then misconstrue these feelings for falling out of love! I'm finding it hard to believe that his feelings have gone mainly because the week before he left we were talking about getting married and having another baby!
His mum has suggested that he speaks to someone but he won't.
