So I broke up with ex last year.. Recently we started seeing each other again, been for drinks and meals. We have a daughter together so some times been out on our own and other times been with our daughter.

He has said he wanted to see how things go with us and take it slow, but now he's done a total 180 and said he doesn't think he wants to see each other as he doesn't want to lead me on.

I should also mention that i applied for school for my daughter in his area which he let me do which i think is unfair. Im so Confused.

He wanted to keep you as a fall back option. Re-apply for schools in your area. Don't let him mess you about.

Do you think @KirstenBlest? I cant apply now as the deadline has passed

You can @Gem8701 just contact your council school admissions team directly.

I'm sure there's a way round the deadline. How old is DD?

This type of "one door in, one foot out" person drives me nuts. I had this with an ex and also made decisions based on what he had said, then all of a sudden he buggered off with someone else. He was just wasting my time while waiting for a "better" prospect to come along.

I don't have much experience of school applications, but how much travel are we talking? Is he planning to have her overnights - that would mean he could do at least some of the school runs?

That said if your current address isn't within catchment then I would have thought you could get a closer place agreed for your dd.

Slight aside but this type of post baffles me.

He said he wanted to see how it went and take it slow and, based on that alone, you applied for a school for your child in his area?

Why on earth would you do that?

You are your child's constant. Your child's security is of paramount importance. Not making grand gestures to prove something to an ex!!

Not once places have been allocated. She'll have to go on a waiting list and hope someone moves house.

They'll also want to know why an address the child doesn't live at was used to apply too.
