Made such a stupid mistake (ex related)

Out and rather drunk last night and I had a row (first ever one) with new bf, ended with me saying it’s over. Don’t think I really meant it although that’s besides the point now.

Bumped into ex later on and ended up going home with him. I barely even like him at the moment and he’s the cause of me being pissed off earlier and rowing with bf. Plus he’s seeing someone new although he says not exclusively so he’s ok!

I feel absolutely shit! Partly hangover wise I know but I feel it’s such a step back and I know I’ve completely ended with things now with a really good guy.

What’s wrong with me and how do I actually get over him properly and move on?
I have to still see him as we have dd and it’s like even though we’re not together he takes up so much headspace.

My bf (or new ex) has text and tried to phone, and said he’s sorry and he’ll give me some space if that’s what I want. I feel like such a fucking bitch and realise I’ve thrown away what could actually have been a really good grown up relationship.

I didn’t cheat wombat I’d broken up with my bf. Not that I feel great that it was so soon and I think I should have given us chance to have discussed things.

But I definitely wasn’t in a relationship at the time and he agrees with that.

Emboo, I think it's good that you have ended things with your new boyfriend, and are thinking about relationship counselling with the father of your child. From what you've said, he cares about his daughter and you, so give it a go, see if there's a chance of reconciling. If it all goes pear-shaped again, then at least you will know that you tried. Good luck.
