Hi everyone -

Long story tried to make short

Been with DP 3 years, he has two children, and is older than me (23/30) in those 3 years we have moved into a lovely rented house, we have a very stable relationship with the DC, and very close with both families etc.

DP is a drinker, depressive, woe is me - I’ve had issues in childhood which I now think has made me want to fix people etc. He is lovely and amazing but when in a mood rude and cold.

3 months ago I left him as found out he had slept with children’s mum. He love bombed me and I ended up believing he would change and we could work things out. Was perfect for 6 weeks.

This weekend he’s been really cold and snappy, and tonight he has gone and I’ve just found his car parked out side DC house.

I am finished , I know I will not put myself through this again.

But I’m scared about the upcoming love bomb, because I’m sure tomorrow he will say it was a mistake etc, and he won’t want to move out etc etc

Just looking for advice on staying strong , because even will all the shit he’s done, I can’t help but feel like I have to do anything for his happiness

Same as everyone else has said, get out, don't want to be taking on them, their kids and the ex, no matter if your a women or a bloke, plenty of people out their your age without baggage. Believe me it's not worth the hassle.

  1. You are doing amazingly and the future holds a man who will value you.
  2. He moved back in (and asked for second chances) BECAUSE HIS EX DOES NOT WANT HIM...please know that, and please have a giggle over it!! Haha...his lordship was such a man, he needed two women...but they both ditched him. Shame

Never seen such a perfect example of someone who has settled for so much less than they deserve!! Kick him to the curb and go and live your wonderful life. There is someone amazing out there for you.
