I found out over a yr ago my partners was cheating he then walked out in me and our two kids for 2 weeks then came back saying he couldn't do it stayed a week then walked again the other woman is meant to have mental health issues which I understand but I personally feel she has played my ex we have never really broken up and never really tried to work through things either but then just as we was getting back on track the other woman announce she was pregnant !! My ex has never settled with either if us and just says he is confused all the time he has treated my like shit through most of this and has always been loyal to the other woman due to her health issues she has blatantly lied about medical conditions through the pregnancy, well the baby is now 2 mths old and there is still no change in the situation he comes and goes from both family's as he likes he doesn't live anywhere and can't offer our older girls any stability and routine if I get hard on him he calls me a control freak and if u keep my mouth shut I'm desperate I can't win I admit I still love him and would be prepared to try and work through things with him as we are still emotionally very close and don't seem to function without each other's support and during the whole time we have been intimate on and off I don't really notice that we are not even a couple as it just doesn't feel that he sleeps on the sofa at mine and the other woman's house, I have no ideas on how to improve things and it hurts that I know he loves me and needs me in his life but he is just to stubborn to admit it and give us a chance And we are now finding it hard to blend the family as my girls don't like the other woman for taking their dad away they are old enough to understand what's happened in the last year they see the baby as much as their dad allows them but he keeps his two family separate like a double life I think he enjoys having a choice of what family he sees and when I can't get him to see sense in any of this

Has anyone else been here is there a light at the end of the tunnel and how do I ever get a normal life back ??? X

I think you should repost this in Relationships, as you will get a lot more advice about this problem there - this is definitely a relationship problem, not a parenting issue.

Fwiw, your "partner" does not love you. He may say that he does, but his actions (which is the only way you should judge if someone loves you) show very clearly that he doesn't love you. Someone that loves you will cherish you, be with you and no one else, would not mess your children about and so on.

It's going to be difficult if you still love him, as you will find it very hard to make a clean break from him. This will also be harder as you have children together, so you will have to keep communicating with him. The people on the Relationships board will have much more advice I'm sure.

I do hope that he is contributing financially to the upkeep of his children with you?
