He has responsibilities.

That is a fact.

Others will be along in the morning with clear advice but in the meantime, I'm afraid you can't make someone love/fancy/want you. I'm sorry.

Have you got any physical help? It's incredibly hard dealing with children on your own, you need some support.

Why is he saying that all of a sudden? In the middle of the night, too. It seems unbalanced.

Btw, don't you both live together with your two children? How old is your boyfriend?

It's sad that he's turned out to not be "the one" but it's better to be a single mum than to be shackled to the "wrong one". You can't make someone love you and you can't change their personality. Be strong - you are stronger than you think. Your ability to cope grows to match the size of the task ahead and you will be OK.

I am sorry you are in this situation. I too became a single mum when my dd was 1.

You are entitled to child support from him of course so make sure you get that.

Do you have family support etc?

Honestly being a single parent is way easier than trying to parent in a dysfunctional relationship. So focus on your kids and those friendships and family relationships that are nice and supportive.
