Breaking up when baby is 6 months

[Katie478]

Has anyone else out there been through this? You and your husband/partner splitting up when your baby is so young? We split up only 6 weeks ago so it's all so raw.

Anyone going through this at this time?
It's so hard isn't it. I wanted our marriage to work so much but he didn't want to continue.
I'm heartbroken for our son and so worried for his life going forward living between two separate homes. I have no experience of this. Separation has never happened in my family or wider family.
I guess I'm just reaching out, for reassurance and to know I'm not alone.

Sending love and support to anyone going through this right now too. And to anyone who has gone through this.

I'm sorry you're having a tough time. I'm sure others will come along with support but for now I'd say focus on your son. It must be really tough with him being so little. Can you look at the relationship and say it's probably for the best for you?

I split with my ex when our child was 3 months, I can honestly say it hasn't effected her at all really and she is a well balanced happy child. Much better IMO than trying it still not working and it happening later on, I have four children and actually my eldest at 10 struggled the most with the split.

I found it very tough myself, I was still quite hormonal, and struggled with a new baby and no real break as she didn't go overnight for a while so really take it easy on yourself. Lean on friends and family if they offer help,they wouldn't offer if they didn't want to.

I forgot to mention we are nearly 3 years on now
