Will this feeling pass?

[gretad]

Bit of a strange one...

I met DP young and had DC young. We split up when he was a couple of weeks old because DP wasn't stepping enough as much as I'd wanted. Skip ahead until DC is 1 and we reconcile. We've been back together 6 months. I can't really fault him, especially not as a father, he's excellent now.
But sometimes... things don't seem right. IYSWIM? I love him and he's my best friend and this is all I've ever wanted but sometimes I'm not sure if I can see myself with him forever, not sure if I'd be happy forever. I have attractions to other people and feel like while I was single for a year, I was so busy being a mum that I didn't have any time for myself, dating, experiences etc.

Will this feeling pass? I feel completely stuck.

Bump

Why did you reconcile
I mean really ask yourself that question
Because in there lies your answer

What does he do that makes you say he's an excellent parent?

(I believe your DS is under 1hr, correct me if wrong)

@NotTheFordType sorry, under 1hr?

I mean 1yr! One hour :D

DS is almost 2!

@NotTheFordType he's just generally an excellent parent in my eyes, he went above and beyond for us even when we weren't together, he works hard and studied hard for us, he puts so much effort into doing fun stuff with our DS and playing, would never complain about doing bathtime, bedtime etc even after a long day etc etc, the list goes on.

@Travisandthemonkey we ended up reconciling as he started getting closer with a female friend, I got jealous and we talked through everything and reconciled.

One hour

Oh dear op.
I’m not sure that’s the best reason to get back together
Simply jealously.
If you had said he met someone but then we both realised we really loved each other and then decided to make it work
Then that’s another thing

So to summarize you don't want him but you can't bear the thought of anyone else having him?

Pardon my bluntness but it's not really the stuff of solid foundations is it??

Let's cut to the chase...if you want a single life then cut him free; but have the maturity to accept that eventually he will find someone else.

Greener grass syndrome...
