So ive just come out of a 7 year relationship. Turbulent with trust issues and just basically my ex being deceitful. My choice to end it. We have a 3 year old together and my ex is already ‘hanging out’ with another woman (his words)
I am a massive over thinker and whilst my ex partner didnt really give me much choice as he was a secretive person, I do think my anxiety or at least overthinking didnt help with things. I was interrogating him over everything toward the end which is why I left, for both our sakes.
However, its been over a month now and ex has had our 3 year old on a few occasions but the whole time our sons gone and the run up to him leaving im constantly worrying about him. Whether he will fall and bang his head, really hurt himself, break a leg or arm or even something more serious.
I know my ex will look after him he is capable but I still get these thoughts and it bothers me. I wouldnt like the thought of him going on holiday with anyone but me and I dont like the thought of him being with anyone other than me or my ex. Are these normal thoughts? I dont feel lime this toward my other children, they are older and go to their dads every other weekend but I dont have the same worries I do with my youngest. I use to when they were younger but not as much as I do now...sorry if ive rambled on. Its almost midnight, im shattered and drained from the worrying and I just needed to get it off my chest. Thanks for reading
