Separated and divorced my abusive husband over 2 years ago, left as a single parent to my now 4 year old. Approx 7 months after separating I met my partner and have been very happily together over 18 months. He has a daughter now 2.
We live 50 miles away from each and my partner has recently ended our relationship due to the distance. He has said he can’t continue living so far away from his daughter. He has a court order with alternative weekends and alternative Wednesday overnights. He stays with relatives with his daughter during the weekday overnights and stays at my home on the weekends he has has daughter. My point of view is that no matter the distance the contact is what it is, his view is the closer he is the better.
Any thoughts or opinions would be helpful - I’m struggling to see how splitting is the best thing for our children as they are so close and us.
