Feeling hurt from break up - what to do about our daughter

31 replies

My partner and I have broken up. I don’t want to break up - it’s him. We’ve been on and off for about 3 years but in that time we had a baby girl so that complicated things more. She’s 6 months old. He says he has feelings for me and does love me but he wants a mother figure and I’m 11 years younger than him and I also have Aspergers so he said I seem childlike. It’s true that my executive functioning is poor. It’s true that I struggle with some things in life but I’m a good mum and he thinks so too. He’s used to having a partner who looks after him. He would always break up with me, then say he wanted to try again but he now tries to rewrite history and says that I’m chasing him. The main problem is that of course he wants to see his daughter and she’s too young to stay overnight with him. If he takes her out of the house and I’m not there, she cries. If he comes to see he at my house it’s harder for me. The last time he came he kissed me on the mouth and then said later that he shouldn’t have done it. I asked him if he could pick up our daughter from my mum’s house but he doesn’t want to do this. I just feel so sad. I know we aren’t an ideal match but I do love him and I hoped that we could work things out. I don’t really know what to do anymore. The only way I will get over him is if I don’t see him.

@picklemewalnuts it's a reasonable amount of money. But I have no idea what he actually earns.

He doesn't want to pick dd up from my mums. He says he wants his son to pick her up (he's 22). I don't have a problem with that on face value.

This whole situation has confused me and shredded my self esteem.

He's playing games. His son doesn't have contact.

You need to get proper advice Moomin, because he's messing.

Where should I get advice? I don't have money for a solicitor.

Oh regarding work. I'm a beauty therapist so can't go back to work at the moment. I was on maternity leave when lockdown began.

There are people on here who are great about child access etc. They can talk you through it.
It may be worth posting a new thread 'I think ex is trying to control me through contact, please help!' You'll call the right people then.
