Do I stay with my partner because of certain opportunities for my daughter or go? I have been with my partner for 6 years and at first, the love was great. I’d feel the butterflies and always want to be around him. My then 7 year old loved him. But as she’s grown up and the longer I’d been with him, the more he started to tell her what to do and it seemed like he was controlling but he would make her eat vegetables and healthy food and he would call her out for everything he thought she did wrong, from simple things such as chewing with her mouth open, and not tidying her room and calling her out for not remembering to have a shower and others I know it seems like he wants the best for her and when I bring it up with him, he tells me he’s only doing it cus he wants her to have the skills and knowledge to have the best life, but she gets upset and comes to me and I don’t want to appear as though I’m not on her side but I can also see he wants the best, I always always feel like I’m stuck in the middle but now my daughter is 13 she tells me she hates him and she’s leaving when she’s 16. I don’t want to lose her but I don’t know what to do. I don’t feel like the love is there for me like it first was. I lost my 14 year old son in a car accident this year and I’ve had to surpress crying, I cry alone in the bathroom I feel like I can’t talk to him he always says Ryan would want you to be happy but it’s hard. If I leave him, I gave my own flat so I wouldn’t be worried about my own place, but we go on holiday once a year now. If I leave him, I would have to pay all the bills myself and that means I’d never be able to afford to go on holiday. It sounds shallow but I want my daughter to have memories of going abroad and to be able to travel, u don’t know wether to stay until she’s 16 for the holidays and bury my hurt or just go and explain to my daughter that we can only afford a holiday every two years instead of yearly? It seems trivial when I write it down but when it’s in my head it feels huge. Please help.
