Feel so lonely

[KarenS1971]

I've got a 3 year old daughter who's father I split with about 2yrs ago. I started another relationship 10 months ago and things were going great - we'd even talked about getting a house together and the possibility of marriage - until yesterday. We'd taken my dd out on Monday for the day which had gone great but when we took her out yesterday she threw a huge tantrum and my partner has now left and told me that he'll come for his things tomorrow. The worse thing about all this is that my dd adored him and keeps asking me where he is. I fell so guilty and I wish I'd never met him. I just don't know what to tell her and its even harder because I feel like my heart is breaking.

Poor you and dd

Hugs

Did he give any reasons for his decisioin-seems very odd to just leave.

What? He left because your dd threw a tantrum?! YOu're well rid tbh

he left because your dd had the tantrum?

xposts lazarou!

yes you are well rid if that's the case.

Yes he said that he can't deal with it. He left at Xmas (but only for a day) because she was playing up. I wished that I'd never taken him back then but he's been brilliant with her since. I'm just in shock I think.

You gave him thte benefit of the doubt once, but don't take him back again. What a plonker

I know you're right. I just wanted everything to be right for my daughter - a proper family I guess. But I know that I'm not going to get it with him. Thanks for the comments.

He left cos your dd had a tantrum?

Sounds like a lucky escape,he obviously needs to grow up a bit.

Look after yourself and dd.xx

Sorry you are having such a rough time.{{}}

Thing is that 3 year olds are supposed to/ expected to have tantrums.

Fully grown men aren't...He is obviously very immature and not ready to commit to you or a child.

Sorry, however painful and lonely it might be, you are well out of it.

You and your dd deserve better.

How awful

Still - no matter how much it hurts - you're best rid of him sooner rather than spending the next x amount of years being pulled between him and your dd.

Don't feel guilty - it's not your fault he's being so stupid and you do have to try and find love.

This really was a lucky escape - for you and dd. He walks out when she has a toddler tantrum? How would he deal with teenage behaviour in a few years time? The streets of London are full of teenage runaways who know the answer to that.
