I’ve fallen out of love with my DP but we have a 7 month old baby and are due to get married next year. I don’t want to split up but I can’t marry someone I don’t love.
We’ve been together 5 years and he has always been a difficult man to be with, in terms of stressing about things and getting grumpy a lot but I could always see his good heart and that’s what I fell in love with.
When I got pregnant he turned into an absolute idiot, getting drunk and doing stupid things (never cheating though before anyone suggests that). It was like it was his last hurrah before fatherhood.
He is the best dad and so helpful with the baby, I have no complaints there. He tries so hard not to stress and get grumpy and is trying to communicate more with me which is great.
The problem is I got to a point when pregnant where I wasn’t willing to tolerate one more muck up and I told him it was over. We talked and eventually sorted things out and I gave him one last chance and made it abundantly clear he’d lose me and the baby if he done it again.
There was no serious issues for ages until baby was 4 months old and he done it again. Went out drinking and done some really stupid stuff.
I was absolutely heart broken, he knew the consequences and he still chose to do it.
I’ve stayed with him after this and he is doing everything he can to make things right but I’ve had enough, he’s pushed me to my limit. I don’t want to leave and break up our family but I just do not love him like I did before.
Is it time to walk away or do you think I can fall back in love with him?
