A few years back I met a single dad. Lovely man but it seemed a messy situation as his ex had an addiction. I was probably emotionally unavailable too so I broke things off when I was falling fot him.
A few years later, his ex has gotten clean, remarried. He still has full custody. We rekindled things and I was so happy. But we could only see each other at weekends when kids saw their mum, and occasionally in the week. I wanted more but truthfully I don't think I could handle small kids, and even he didnt want to live together because he didnt want to mess up their living situation.
This man looked after me when I lost my mum, he helped me through some serious health issues and has really shown me how much he cares. But I want more. I want him all the time. My friends say im quite codependent and should appreciate hes a good dad and puts his kids first. I guess what im asking is was I mad to break things off after hes been so great. I've had my fair share of relationships and nothing has ever come close. Im also jealous that he actually gets on with his ex after how ahe has been. I feel I may have lost the best person I could have had.
