Confusion

My partner of 6 years 2 children and currently pregnant has turnt around and said to me he needs a month to himself and needs some headspace to think about what he wants. It doesn’t really make sense to me. What would you say about this?

I would say he's probably has his head turned at a minimum, or having an affair. Be prepared for The Script.

*had his

I would tell him to get a grip, he already had you and his children, don't let him have a month to think about it, stay or go.
Has this come out of nowhere or has there been any problems lately?

66babe · 22/06/2021 21:29

I'd be very suspicious of this
How have things been recently ? Any signs that he's had his head turned ?

JSL52 · 22/06/2021 21:30

Double bluff - say ok. Then 'I'll have my month off afterwards'.
Prick.

TheWaif · 22/06/2021 21:31

I'd think there was someone else.

What's there to think about? It's ridiculous.

forumdonkey · 22/06/2021 21:39

Where does he plan to go? Remind him he still has to parent his DCs. Parents don't get time alone because their children need them.

He's a prick

friedeggsandchips · 22/06/2021 21:40

I would say go on then.
I'm not normally as strong but think it's the best thing as I'm learning you can't control anyone and I wouldnt want to.
Let him have his space. If he really loves you he will return. If he doesn't you don't need him anyway.

friedeggsandchips · 22/06/2021 21:42

Ps sorry he has said this to you but be strong for you and children.

ree348 · 22/06/2021 21:44

Hi, I remember reading in your previous posts that he would spend most of the weekend away from home with his 'mates' and wasn't around much on Father's Day ? Sorry to say but there are lots of red flags here. What is your instinct saying?

SortingItOut · 22/06/2021 21:46

He's either in or out, you are not an option to put aside for 1 month.

Either he wants a month off from family life to watch the Euros or he wants free reign to go off for another woman.

Anotheruser02 · 22/06/2021 21:50

Sorry this is the script. He has another woman.

MrsGeoWolf · 22/06/2021 21:52

So the question is what do you want?
Going by other posts he's spending time elsewhere on weekends already?

messybun101 · 22/06/2021 22:04

I'd say the month he's asked for is actually for him to finalise a moving on period. I don't think you should expect him to be coming back. It sounds like he's made up his mind to move on to something/someone else

Honest opinion on little info - sorry op Thanks
