'I don't think he gets it'
Ah gaslighting 101.
He gets it.
He just doesn't want you to know that.
He wants you to feel unreasonable or like you don't have the right to call him out on his shit.
And, what family? Sure we can't choose SOME our family...but partners we can choose. So why would you choose a bad tempered, gaslighting liar?
But for goodness sake op, don't leave one shit relationship for another.
'Oh I can see how he's changed'. What a load of bullshit! You can see how hrs changed ON THE SURFACE. But that means nothing. If he was a shit before then, why would you risk going back!?Let alone with a new baby!
Sorry but, you need to grow up and stop making stupid decisions like a teenager.
You talk about 'growth'. Where is YOUR growth? You're finally thinking of leaving one arsehole...only to jump right back into another bad relationship!!!!! Hell, even if it was not going to be bad, its a complete unknown! You have no idea what this guy will be like now behind closed doors (it sounds like he was shit before too!). And you think he'll just accept a baby that's not his, raise it with you like happy families?
Come on op, give your head a massive wobble.
If you want to leave your marriage, fair enough. But leave because it's right for you. Not for some bellend ex who's trying to sell you a watch.Which he is. At best he wants to leg over and will vanish once you split with your partner. At worst he's some sort of toxic abuser sort looking for an easy target and a newly single mum sounds good.
I mean what kind of creep sniffs round a married women anyway? He's playing you. Don't be fooled.
Time for you to have your own personal growth.
