what to do when you can't trust someone and are unable to leave because you love that person?

[stuckforeverx]

Completely in love with my boyfriend, we have a child together. I can't trust him because he is a narcissist and a player but I can't leave him because I just love him way too much, I would regret it and would wonder what could have been. He promised me that he would never cheat on me, but I don't believe him.
Feel kind of stuck and don't know what to do?

Before i got together with my boyfriend, i was seeing loads of people, on dating websites, etc. When i decided i really liked him, i stopped looking for anyone else.

I wasn't cheating on him because to cheat, you have to be in a relationship. You can't be "in a relationship" after just one or two dates. Once i decided he was the right guy, i simply wasnt interested in the others any more.

It doesnt sound as if you are secure enough in yourself to be in a relationship with anyone. If you want to hang onto your boyfriend, calm yourself down a bit and just enjoy it.

If you can't trust him then what do you have that's worth staying for?

Smack yourself really hard in the face and remind yourself that drama is for teenagers.

What evidence is there that he is lying?

What narcissist traits does he have?

I know he cheated on at least two of his girlfriends before.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...

Love
Isn't
Enough

You don't stay because you love him. You stay because you don't love you.

You know he is a narcissist? So presumably you also know that he is incapable of love. And that you are nothing more than current narcissistic supply to him. Presumably you also know that he hates you? Yes HATES. He.hates.you. Just let that sink in.

Why would it matter if he cheats? He doesn't even like you in the first place.

Do you really want to stay and raise a child with that?
The fact that you have a kid, also means that you have to protect it. If you don't love yourself enough, at least love your child enough to get away from the soul sucking creature.

You can do it, you can leave.

Please, please read and listen to the comments here. You really need to take them in, and then take action.

‘I luuuuuurve him’ is the excuse you give yourself to stay in a relationship with someone you don’t trust. Which is fine but don’t disappear down the rabbit hole justifying your ‘choice’.

You can’t understand a choice if you don’t own it.

What do you do ?

Carry on having a miserable life or leave. Your call.
