I don't think you need to reply at all but if you want to I'd be firmer:

'I don't love him, he's not who I thought he was and I want nothing to do with him or any of you. Please leave me and my family alone.'

Joysmum · 08/12/2017 21:09

Totally agree with Moany that your response is too soft. Yiu need to make it plain that interference isn’t welcome. You’ve made your decision and your future is nothing to do with her or your father.

Frustrationqueen · 08/12/2017 21:13

I thought i was firm haha. I blocked after i said what i said.
If they find a way to continue this, i will firm it up and say what moany suggested.

It isnt normal for a parent to get involved like this is it?
My dad wouldnt dream of doing anything like that.
Apparently she is at my house

Best of luck Flowers

Moanyoldcow · 08/12/2017 21:18

No. It's not normal. You've had a properly lucky escape.

Frustrationqueen · 08/12/2017 21:29

Thank you.
She messaged elsewhere and it sounded as though she was saying she was outside of my house.
She claimed she wanted my side of the story as she has her son and she just wants the best for us both. If i dont speak she feels thr best place to get info is from my dad.

My response was thst my dad respects my choices and will not involve himself and i would appreciate it if she would do the same. I added on that her son is not the person i thought he was and i have no interest at all anymore.

She said she will delete my contact and that she respects her sons choices - so i think i hit a nerve. Hopefully she leaves me alone now

Hope she does leave you alone, she must know what an arse her son has been.

Frustrationqueen · 08/12/2017 23:40

Me too.

Well done Frustration. It’s hard to write in a way you wouldn’t normally but I fear if you hadn’t she’d have continued to have interfered. Fingers crossed that’s her out of it now x

Frustrationqueen · 08/12/2017 23:45

Yes i think you are right joysmum.
She made it easier for me to say it like that with her keep saying she was going to speak to my dad🤔
Thank you x

Did his Mum ask about the pregnancy? I imagine that's the reason she is getting so involved rather than the breakup itself iyswim

Frustrationqueen · 08/12/2017 23:57

No she didnt. She has been like this from the start really

OP posts:
Teensandfuture · 09/12/2017 11:45

If the mother knows you're pregnant I actually see her interference a positive thing. For long term benefit of the baby ..but she failed to bring up her son to be a responsibility young adult so its a little too late for her. Why is he staying with grandparents thou? Did his mum kick him out or was a bit strict and he didn't like it?
Is he studying? College /uni? What does he do with his life at all?

DavidBowiesNumber1 · 09/12/2017 12:20

Teensandfuture

If you had RTWT & previous one all your questions would be answered

Teensandfuture · 09/12/2017 12:42

I read a bit but I think the thread is deleted now

TheOtherClass · 09/12/2017 17:42

No she didnt. She has been like this from the start really

I'm getting confused. I thought the family had already bought a pram etc and were being very over the top about the baby?

Do you think she was only getting involved because she was sad you broke up with her son? If so then that's a big weird of her. At least her being excited about the pregnancy was more understandable iyswim

Frustrationqueen · 09/12/2017 20:37

His mum seemed to really want me in her sons life. Before any of the pregnancy.

From what i gather (and told from his mum) - he hasnt been in many relationships and previous ones he has had havent really even developed into relationships due to him. His interests seem to be him. If you dont fit with his interests, then you dont fit with him iykwim.
I had the same interests so we moulded really well together. That side was never an issue between us.
I think this is why his mum was so keen to keep us together.
Obviously, i think the issue goes deeper than just his interests and his mum knows this

Frustrationqueen · 12/12/2017 09:58

How do i do it? How do i tell him?

OP posts:
mikeyssister · 12/12/2017 10:07

Tell him what?

FluffyWhiteTowels · 12/12/2017 10:25

Discuss with your dad he’ll work it through with you.

Pannacott · 12/12/2017 10:30

Oh OP, this must be so hard.

Im not sure how cryptic you want to be on this thread. I'll try.

Firstly, you are allowed to talk about the nature of your relationship, and that something was very wrong. You don't need to be specific, you don't need him to confess or even acknowledge it. But something like 'we both know there are important reasons that our relationship would never have worked out'.

Secondly, you can say that you never wanted to be a SP, or in a CoP situation. Once you realised that these were the only opportunities available to you, you have to do what's best for you. It is very sad. But you need to resolve things and look to the future.

Try approaching it in this gentle way to begin with. If he kicks off or tries to make you feel bad - cut him dead, block him, no contact, research advice around harassment.

I really feel for you. But you are not the cause of this, his problems with lying to himself and using you are the cause of this. If he really wants something like this there are many many routes for him to achieve this. Without wrecking someone else's life in the process.

Diamondskyofblack · 12/12/2017 11:17

Maybe tell him after there's no going back (if that's what you decide) so he can't pressure your decision. It's hard enough without pressure.

Frustrationqueen · 12/12/2017 12:19

I have made my decision. I just dont know how to tell him that.
Im also really struggling with the idea of it being the end of me and him right now. Even though i do not want to go back as i know i cant cope with how it was or how he is.
He has been trying so hard to get in contact lately - all failed attempts. I think that might be why im struggling with it all

SnowGlitter · 12/12/2017 12:20

Tell him after the fact. Your life. Your choice.
