Long story short been with oh 2 years prob with oh ex, had to get an injunction out on oh ex for harassment, prob with oh seeing his kids his ex won't let him. Had court over it got contact order she still refusing.

He has/had gambling prob I took control of finances. Since being with oh I don't see much of my friends, get smothered by him constant texts throughout the day. Very needy!

Friends have seen a difference in me best friend says I haven't been happy for a while, had plenty of rows I've stuck by him and given him chance after chance and he says sorry things will change last row we had got heated he smashed a glass against the wall and when I got him out put his fist through the glass panel of the front door. He went to my parents instead of spending night in the cell. ( daughter was not here but at her dads)

Parents obv not happy it's now causing issues between my family and I. Im not on the pill and currently not come on I don't feel like getting excited by the fact I could be pregnant because I'm not sure I look at him in the same way anymore or if it's just because I'm still mad about the fight.

He does nothing for me, we use to go out all the time now don't. Can't remember the last time I was brought flowers. I've done things to cheer him up about not seeing kids etc by cooking favourite meal romantic nights in sometimes get a thank you but guarantee the washing up is left.

Literally have to go on strike and tell him to help out around the house then that's when he does. Oh and to top it off my brand new carpet I'm still paying for he has burnt with an iron trying to get wax up he spilt! I don't know if I can take much more.

I feel miserable right now. I don't feel like a chemistry between us. We're hardly intimate (that's why I will be surprised if I am pregnant) what would you do?

He keeps saying things will get better but when?!! I have my own daughter who is 4 to think about too!

Would I stay?

Would I fuck!

I'd be heading as fast as I could in the opposite direction from this needy, violent waste of space. The relationship is a disaster zone and you are deeply unhappy and it's causing issues with your family. Why should they have to put up with it? Why should you and you daughter have to put up with it? Why do you think it will miraculously get better? It won't.

And why on earth are you risking getting pregnant? Stop having sex with him, better still end the relationship for good, but if you decide for some unfathomable reason, to try and continue, then get some decent birth control and start using it. No child deserves to be brought into such a dysfunctional and unhappy relationship.

There's nothing to be 'confused' about - it's as plain as day. Everyone reading this and your family and friends in real life can see it, so I'm not really sure why you can't? If you can't do it for yourself, then do it for those you love, especially your little girl. Don't bring her up seeing you in a relationship like this.

How do I get him to leave?! I've tried before and he's just sat outside in his car refusing to go and saying he will just sleep in his car he's not going to his parents as he doesn't want them to know!

Change the locks and if he refuses to stop sitting outside I would call the police. He hasn't left you with much choice has he.

Evelyn1993 · 17/12/2014 09:41

I don't want to leave its mine and my daughters home. My daughter is in a really good school and I have a job in her school

You don't need to leave - he does!

ruddygreattiger · 17/12/2014 09:50

As Twinkle said, just change the locks, job done. Let him know his stuff will be outside at a certain time for him to collect (when you will be out if that makes it easier for you). Alternatively dump all his stuff with his parents. If he sits outside in his car and starts guilt trips about sleeping out there let him carry on! I guarantee if you ignore him for long enough he will get the message. Be strong, no-one deserves a wanker like that.

First things first get yourself better with good things to eat and lots of rest. Don't argue with him as it will drain you and will set your recovery back.

Take time as you rest to think about the truth and the advise everyone has given you. He is abusive without doubt and probably has form. Consider your future carefully as this cannot carry on.

HamPortCourt · 17/12/2014 16:25

Why do you care if he is sat outside in his car?

Just leave him to it - and get the locks changed. If he actually refuses to leave then you can call the police and have him removed. Explain he has been violent, it is your flat and you want him removed. He has as much right to live there as I do.

PatriciaHolm · 17/12/2014 16:29

It's your house, so he leaves. Not your problem where he goes, though I would be tempted to ring his parents and tell them you have split up and why. No more excuses that he has nowhere to go because they don't know anything.

I read as far as gambling problem.

No. No and no.

Life is hard enough without someone squandering your money.

No, not for a second
