Feeling a bit sad

I normally lurk (typical lurker, only post when looking for sympathy Blush )...

I'm feeling a bit low and overwhelmed; I have a beautiful and perfect-in-every-way baby girl who is nearly 14w, her dad and I only moved in together when we decided we'd like to try for a baby - he was going through a divorce and we both naturally assumed this would finalise before I got pregnant. Sods law being what it is, I got preggers within minutes weeks and the divorce got delayed...and delayed...until it became a real source of resentment, culminating in a pretty rubbish relationship where I have become bitter, resentful, insecure and controlling and he is a terrible communicator who thinks he's successfully juggling one million commitments when in fact they're all tumbling around him in a great big pile of shit.

Last night we had a petty row and he walked, as usual, out of the house. Normally I ring him and plead his return, but this time he was a bit aggressive and I was just too tired to bother, plus my LO needed me. Needless to say, without my instigating a conciliation, I haven't heard from him, I have no idea where he is sleeping or how he got to work with no clothes etc. Part of me is relieved to just be looking after DD and not worrying who will upset who today, but ultimately I would love to give him, me, and DD a chance at a happy relationship.

I'm not sure if I'm looking for sympathy, cynicism, practical advice, or someone to just lighten things up by taking the piss, I'll take anything you've got right now.

Where did he say he had been when he fucked off his responsibilities for 3 days ?

I don't give a shiny shit if he is "military"

That's just a way to excuse his crap behaviour

Get him down off this pedestal you have him on

He's a crap partner and a crap father

Yes...ok, he might be a bit of a cock, admittedly.

He is staying at his brothers.

I'm not about to let him back, I need to decide what I want, and as I'm pretty sure you can tell, right now I have no idea!

Hey raciroo
How's it going?
How did the weekend go?
Hope you are OK.

Hellsbells - Firstly, thanks Smile

It's going ok...we have had some discussion via phone, he has expressed his frustration and confusion at my behaviour, I have expressed my resentment and insecurities at his, etc. etc.

He has asked to come over to discuss 'where we go from here' - all good considering I normally instigate anything like this, and had really begun to believe he didn't have it in him.

BUT...I don't think he really understands where I'm coming from, and although he's trying I'm not overly hopeful. I certainly know I can't live with him right now; I don't actually know what I want from our relationship anymore, until I do I can't really share that with him/discuss can I?

I still agreed to him coming here because I want to hear what he has to say, I think I'm hoping he might explain some of the reasons behind the way he's gone about things.

I am ok, I have some bloody amazing RL mates, and DD of course, who uses up a lot of my energy in a really positive way!
