I did the same thing but my children’s father after ,6 yrs I left for almost a year dealt with someone else for part of that time and got back together with my kids father we had another child and it’s 18 yr now we have 14 & 7 yr boys and I honestly think I should had took a couple to a few yrs just to myself.i don’t mean that in a bad way I mean that in a way that I should have just focused on myself and found out who I am and get totally independent. I think everyone should take two to 3 yrs after a long relationship to just decompress and be able to evaluate vit from a clear mind.

EVEN if you don’t end up with your children’s father, ending a decade relationship requires that you take at least a year to yourself, date yourself, treat yourself, sort out in your mind, heart and soul what you want out of a relationship, get to know yourself and be ok with being alone and getting comfortable with that before you enter into anything serious with anyone else. Therapy with the right therapist can be immensely helpful.

Do you know if the children’s father feels the same way about you? Do he have a new partner? You may feel that way and he may not.

I personally don’t think it’s right to upset someone else’s life because you moved on to fast. If you chose to go back. Please make sure he’s available.

People move in way to soon, Don’t be in such a hurry wait, give your self and your ex time to settle down with there emotions and grief that comes with a break up.

I guess you have to ask . Why did you guys split ??
Are those issue/s handles, resolved??. Has he moved on ? Then you’d have to just talk . And I get you miss him but you have to think about the bigger picture. We’re you guys toxic together is it going to be the best thing for the children.
Don’t make any rash decisions until you truly take time to figure these things out including what’s going on in your head. Is it that you miss him or what you guys had … so many things to consider.
I do wish you the best hun

I think you should leave your current relationship and then focus on yourself. If you happen to rekindle with the ex down the road fine, but that was a long relationship and you may just be missing things from the relationship that you don’t have with the current partner. It may not be actually him that you miss.

Your current bf really needs to leave you i be dang if i’d be with someone that has feelings for someone else… if you can’t put your all into me then i don’t want ya! He deserves to find someone that will love him and just him … smh!

What does the dad want?

That’s a normal stage of breaking up. If he did something that made you leave before don’t go back. But if you feel you moved on too soon tell your bf that. Maybe you can tall in the future when your ready

Let your bf go it’s not fair to him whether or not your honest hanging on to him when u know u want to be with someone else is not fair. Then give yourself some time to be single and to have a friendship with your childrens father that way you don’t regret jumping back into Relationship.

People are asking does your ex feel the same , does he have another partner etc… it doesn’t matter. You are with someone when you still have feelings for someone else.
Your bf should appreciate your honesty being upfront .
You definitely need to time to heal and just focus on you and the kids. I stayed Single 4 years after my fiance and I split. Best thing I ever did.

I am a firm believer that every person that has been in a long-term relationship needs to give themselves months to heal before even thinking about jumping into another one. Rebounds are not fun and only hurt all those involved

I would say you need to think about why you and the X split in the first place :thinking: Before you split did you try and work on your relationship? Was it mutual or one sided … ? Maybe you did move on to quickly, maybe your bf is a rebound bcuz you do still have feeling for the father of your children. Another big question is does he still have feelings for you too :woman_shrugging:t3: It’s really not fair to your now bf if you still have feelings for your X and you should let him go

Let him go. He doesn’t need you to be unsure of him when he’s sure of you

Concentrate on your children.

Of course you love him. You were together for a long time and he is your child’s father. However after 10 years of y’all can’t get it right then breaking up was probably best. You probably did move on to fast but now you are where you are. Focus on what you are in and see if this guy could be good for you but also work on yourself. If you find that you don’t really want to be with him and it was just a rebound break up with him but don’t break up with him yo get back with your ex. Just stay single and figure out what you want and nurture yourself.

This is why I always say, before leaving the one you have and especially the father of your children, go for counseling.

The earlier the better
Have a conversation with him and be honest. Don’t rush back into a relationship you already left though. Figure out what you truly want and make sure it’s not a fleeting feeling. There will always be a connection because that’s the father of your children.

Has your kids father moved in and why does he deserve anything less than someone that has been :100: him. People are so selfish & flaky

Please let your current boyfriend go. It’s not fair to him at all, your feelings matter but his do too. He deserves to be treated fairly and if you respect him enough you’ll let him go. Focus on you! :sparkling_heart:

Time to be honest with yourself and your bf. Even if your baby daddy doesn’t wanna be with you, you don’t need to be with your current man

Remember why you 2 split. Does he still love you? I would gently tell your current guy. Be honest. Then. Have a convo with your ex. Always be honest. ((Hugs))

Does he wanna still be with you?

The connection you feel is through the kids. He doesn’t feel that way about you

Just do you for a little while, see what happens x

If you’re paying the bills, he doesn’t help around the house, & there’s nothing medically preventing him from doing these things, I think you have your answer.
Everyone deserves to be in a relationship where they’re loved & appreciated, not taken advantage of.

It is his choice to be homeless if you put him out. He will go find another woman to use anyways.

Lawyers will give free consultations. I’d say evict him. Gather up all your valuable and meaningful assets first and hide them store them somewhere else with a trusted friend. Record conversations or text messages. And get all your paperwork in order. If you are paying for things like his cell phone his car insurance make sure you stop immediately. I would break up with him and see if he’ll go but if he won’t go make sure you understand how to go about the eviction process. But like I said make sure you have your ducks in a row before you do and you have your financials hidden from him and stored somewhere else as well as all important paperwork documents valuables anything like that. Sounds like you are a hard-working lovely person and I’m sure you will find somebody who will rise to meet you at your level. He is a user.

I dated a moocher once……kicked his ass out. Of course he’s never been on a deed or lease with me.

Leave or kick him out. U don’t need him. It’s ok to be single and happy

Get an insurance policy on him first. I’m sure you’ll know what to do next, farm girl :wink: plenty of accidents can happen on a farm.

You are the bread winner. Do not worry about a lump that cannot and will not help you. He clearly has free time to do stuff around the house while you work. You are taking care of a grown ass man child. Send him back to his momma so she can finish raising him. If this was a role reversal situation, people would be calling you out for not helping your bf. Do not let him get away with using you.

It’s time to cut that string and move in my dear. You are worth much more than the attention and respect he’s not giving you!

There is zero reason to be with someone who doesn’t work with to build a life with you. There is nothing you can do to make him grow up and be a man, make decisions and love you as you should be loved. You did your best, it isn’t your fault he didn’t do his. If you think the breakup would get violent, change the locks when he leaves and set his things in the yard. The best advice I ever got from a therapist was “we can’t change peoples actions, only our reactions.” If he’s been this way for 4 years, you need to change your reaction.

He’s literally just using you. He’s freeloading at the fact he doesn’t have to work because you’ll pay for everything, doesn’t have to help around the house, because you’ll do it. Doesn’t have to even have a relationship with you because it’s been allowed that he doesn’t have to. You deserve so much better and someone who is gonna RESPECT you!! Kick him out.

God women will literally go the distance for some woman’s crusty ass son I swear, this whole post just REAKS, where do I bloody start? At the beginning I guess, the minute you have to ask “when do you think it’s time to end a relationship” when you ask that question, then you listed multiple other things that scream HUGE. RED. FLAG. What has everyone learnt here? That he doesn’t contribute :white_check_mark: he doesn’t put food on the table, infact the table isn’t even his :white_check_mark: he gets to live rent free and get fed for free :white_check_mark: probably gets laid whenever he likes :white_check_mark: and you feel he’s dipping into someone else’s goodie bag too?!! And you’re most likely right because women always are with our intuition. He’s nothing but a using bag of trash girl. You’re being useeeeddddd so bad! Are you kidding me? You pay the bills, you keep the roof over his head, you bring the food into the house, sounds like you have a child, not a man. Can’t believe you’ve lasted years with this loser wow.

Sounds like a loser and you have a big bucket of red flags…you deserve better but not till you see it… you know what to do you’re just codependent on his toxicity…

O M G. What has happened to the ladies that will put up with crap like this!!! Then write about it, you know what to do, but must not be strong enough to kick his spoiled butt to the curb.

This guy is using you. You should get to keep the place where you live now. Try to find a way to get him out. Get hold of legal aid and see what they can do. It will be hard since his name is also on the place, but if your finances are separate and you can show that you have paid for everything, you might have him over a barrel. You do all the work now. You don’t need him. If you don’t want the place, start putting money back. Make partial payments on the bills, telling creditors to get the rest of the money from him. Take the rest of the money and save it to get your own place. You’ll want to get an outside job as soon as you can. Just get away from that silly sucker. He’s not worth your time.
