Would I be mad to consider this

I have a Dd who is 6. Me and her father broke up two years ago and me and her moved out of the family home back to my parents. I was in a bad financial position so took me a while to be able to rent our own place we were there for a year and very happy. Then I found out I was expecting twins with my bf so we all moved in together. DD loves our new house and is very happy and settled.

I have found evidence that my bf is not as honest as I thought no physical proof of cheating but there has definitely been boundaries that have been crossed. I am obviously very upset and worried about more unsettling for DD the new house is in bfs name so I’d have to move.

Would I be mad if I just ignored it to keep things settled for another year or so for DD and the new babies who are due in Oct?

I think it entirely depends on what he has not been honest about and whether or not that is forgivable. Hard to say without more info.

But MaryBoBary, it's not up to us to decide that, it's up to Fakehair83.

If I was about to give birth to twins in October, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be making myself homeless a few months beforehand. I'd be watching my partner to try to work out what's going on, while planning and saving.

I don’t think I will be able
To trust him again to me once someone lies to me I can’t ever trust them again. But I’m wondering should I just brush over it so my DD doesn’t have another unsettled year it was my decisions got us here and I don’t think it’s fair on a six year old so I should just suck it up for her

The problem with aucking it up is that you don't know what his plans/intentions are.

You could 'suck it up'only to find yourself out on your ear in 6 months anyway.

So even if you do stay now, I'd me making a contingency plan to leave.

OP it's only matter of time before he does it again or worse. Eventually you wont be able to ignore the problem any more but it will be even harder to leave after so long.

Can you go back to your parents? do you have the deposit from your last place so you rent again? I think I would ascertain if I had somewhere to go and how I would manage (make sure yo find out about benefits etc you are entitled to and only once you have"your ducks in a row" would I tackle your boyfriend.

I could go back to my parents just don’t want to as it will be cramped and I don’t want my daughter moving again. And it wouldn’t be long term and I won’t be able to get rent in my name as awful credit
