Was with ex for years. He ended the relationship when DD was born. Since then I tried so hard to develop a decent friendship with him for DD’s sake. Have had enough now though. I just get used as an emotional support device, which isn’t friendship let’s face it. He’s got yet another new gf and I have said I can’t keep trying to be friends any more. He just shrugged and essentially said ‘whatever’. I’ve realised that I worked so hard at the friendship because my feelings never really changed. How on Earth do I get over this man? If a decade, endless cheating (revealed after the split), and his clear message that he doesn’t give a damn haven’t done it, what will? I am hoping that not seeing him except for a few seconds at drop off and pick up each week will help (he used to often stop for a cup of tea and to talk about DD but that’s not happening now at my request). I just don’t know what else I can do. And yea I know this is pathetic. Not helped by the fact that current health issues mean I can’t bury myself in work or exercise or going out with friends. And no finding someone else isn’t a viable option, I didn’t exactly attract men in my prime, and that was a long time ago. I just don’t know what to do and am sick of feeling so blasted sad all the time. And it’s not fair on DD to have an unhappy mum.
