I’ve just left my boyfriend for my best friend

[GrinchWithAConscience]

until the other day , I was thinking about having a baby with my boyfriend not because things were good (they weren’t), but because I thought I was stuck with him
We’d been stuck in the same cycle for ages, always arguing and getting back together. I felt neglected and he felt like the worst partner snd I thought what is the point. I have been feeling really miserable.
My best friend is really kind and I can have a laugh with him, and it turns out he was and is interested in me. So we got together as of yesterday night. I know it’s a bit like a rebound almost but I don’t see it that way because I’ve been miserable in my relationship for years.
it feels like a victory for me that I wanted to share.

We all have different victories I guess

Glad things are better for you. Be careful that you don't repeat the same cycle.

Best get to bed pet. You’ve got to get up early for school tomorrow.

You were thinking of having a baby with a shit partner? Are you 16? I think you need to grow up a bit and work on your own issues before bring with anybody.

Oh dear.

This won't end well.....

Righto…

my self esteem was really low (still is) to be with the man in the first place but I didn’t want to make a great big long post. I believe that people make bad decisions at every age and I was thinking about how to make it work with just me. Not rational at all I know not ideal at all but I really believed the man was my only chance.

OP people are being condescending and snobby.....sadly that's mumsnet sometimes.

How i read it, you've left an abusive/unhealthy relationship to be with someone nicer who treats you right, which takes courage.

There are loads of people on here of all ages who have had babies with absolute idiots....although you did nearly go down that path you have done a good thing in reconsidering and now avoiding that situation, and i applaud you for that.

So I for one will join you in celebrating your victory 😊

Maybe you should try being single for a while. It won’t kill you.

Do you know something even though I was technically with him I didn’t feel like I was I felt single anyway so to me I pretty much have been single for awhile
