Dp just informed me, over the phone, that he can't be bothered with our relationship anymore and it's not worth the effort.

I have 2 ds from previous relationship, 2 dc's together and I am also currently pregnant with our 3rd. So he has basically just left me a single Mum of 5

I have no idea why I am writing this as I don't have a clue what I'm hoping to gain from it I just don't know where else to turn

Sorry I haven't been back to update. Thank you for all the help and advice. Well as it stands right now I made him come home from work and talk. Properly talk with him listening rather than trying to disprove any points I tried to make.

I explained all his actions and how they had an effect on me/us and why. I also explained to him as I have done before that he doesn't have the normal responses and emotions to events as "normal" people do. He has agreed with this before and also agreed to seek help but never has (where as I agreed to do the same for my past problems and did go) so I have told him if he even wants a chance at this working then he has no choice but to seek help.

He apologised for his behaviour on DD's birthday, in my opinion that is nowhere near enough and means little right now. Actions speak far louder than empty words so we shall see.

On the other hand he is now being overly nice and helpful and even actually thinking about things before he says them !!

I'm going to give him a chance to prove he is at least willing to try changing and see a counsellor. If he doesn't make an appointment in the next week I'm going to do it for him.

Usually if we argue then sort it out and he has agreed to change anything it is usually forgotten within a week. I can't let that happen again or it's all for nothing.

I just hope he is as serious about saving our relationship as I am

Hi easyeggs, this is the first chance I've had to get back on the computer, but I hope things are looking up a bit between you and DP and that you managed to get a break over the bank holiday weekend x

Do you think he may be autistic? Your description of him not empathising is ringing a bell.

Well no idea what's going on now tbh! Had another arguement yesterday but things seem "back to normal" at the moment, sigh.

Thank you for asking though Laugs

mumble how would I know if he was Autistic? I've always thought something isn't quite right but I can't put my finger on it
