My partner broke up with me after a year via text and I'm heartbroken.

I have been going out with a man for the last year who I have known practically my whole life. I have two children, and so does he. For the last year we have had the most perfect and amazing relationship and fantastic family unit. We lost a baby in November which was difficult for us both, but he has been an amazing support throughout everything. Last week we were talking about starting to try again for a baby in the next few months and moving in together permanently. Last week we had our first argument, and he's broken everything off and asked me not to contact him. We've had words before like every normal couple and have never held any grudges. I really don't know what to do or where all of this has come from. I miss him and his kids, and my kids miss him a lot. I don't know what to do. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

The argument was about the kids arguing and not tidying up. It wasn't a big deal. Nor a major argument. It wasn't nasty, or vicious. It was a simple argument.

Baby was not planned, actually we both decided we weren't having anymore. However, we came back we found out we were expecting a new baby. And we both were very happy. When I miscarried, we had an in depth discussion and decided that this year we would try for another and it's something we both wanted.

I don't know what to think. Emotions are all over the place.

Don't you think you deserve more than this?

It’s really hard, I know it is - you just want it back to how it was.

My ex walked out one day and blocked me everywhere. It floored me. When he came back a week later full of remorse I was just happy to have him home and believed him when he cried and said it would never happen again.

That was the start of the abuse and repeatedly leaving and blocking me every time we fell out. Please, don’t be me. A good, kind, decent man would never treat you like this. If he was a good man he’d want to fix the problem WITH you.

Dumping by text is the worst. My ex did it after 2 years together, had met family, kids etc. Hurt like hell but the chappy behaviour made it easier to cut him out and move on.

I suspect he didn’t want another baby really and has bottled it. You’ve had a lucky escape from more single parenting.

Wouldn't you rather focus on your existing kids rather than all this drama?
