Walking away

I have a 3 year old daughter and my relationship with her dad is very hit and miss. We first split when our baby was 10 weeks old and ever couple of weeks he’d come back saying he missed his family. I took him back every time. As a then 22 year old I was naive and just wanted my family. I’m between our relationship he’s been with other people and it’s killed me each time. We’ve been split for 10 months now and these past 2/3 weeks he’s been texting me, we’ve spent time together with our daughter but then I’ll go days without hearing anything from him. He’s obsessing about us expanding our family and making things work. I’m trying not to get my hopes up because I just end up disappointed every time. I am in love with him but I can’t take any more, it’s draining me and making me feel like crap. I’m 25 now, he’s nearing his 30’s and I just need some strength to walk away. I know I need too and I don’t want to be there for his convenience anymore.

You deserve better. Get some self respect and stop letting him treat you like this. Easier said than done and I let my ex "come back" three times. In the end, it was because I didn't want my DD to see this and think it was how women deserve to be treated that changed my mind. You love him but if he loved you there's no way he'd treat you with so little respect

You need to claw back some self respect. He has no right to treat you like this.

dont walk, just run.

hes an idiot,wearing you down and you can do better.

Do this for your child and show her what a relationship is. You can have a good relationship apart and parent together
