Hi.
I would really appreciate some relationship advise.
We had a baby together last year after only being together a year. We've been really happy, or so I thought. Yes we've had money troubles, sleepless nights with the little one etc but nothing, so many other people haven't experienced too.
Anyway, last week, I found out from his friend that he has said our relationship feels like its nearing the end and going the same way his previous two relationships went. He hasn't spoken to me about any of this and when I mentioned something to him, he said it wasn't meant how it sounded.
I've put so much in to this relationship. I raised our child whilst he's at work, maintain a lovely home, do the washing, prepare home cooked meals every night.
Is it worth fighting for our relationship for our daughter or do I just let go as I feel like no matter what he says to me, he's contradicting himself when he talks to his friends.
Any advise would be really appreciated as I'm beginning to feel really alone.. thank you

How have you got into a situation where you're with his friend alone with enough time to tell you this? Is his friend trying to cause trouble? Also do you know how the other 2 relationships ended? How long were the relationships? You need to consider these things to know if he's scared of commitment maybe?
If he then there's not much you can do to change things. Sounds like it was a speedy romance. That's not to say that it couldn't work. You need to have a proper chat with him. It seems a bit early on to go for couples counselling but maybe he's finding it difficult being a dad?
Sorry if that's not much help but I think you need to get to the bottom of all this before you can possibly know which way to turn. It's not all your responsibility though. It takes 2 to make a relationship.
