Baby you need to leave him. Is he US military? If so he can get in trouble for adultery. It’s a toss up, but I’ve seen service members that cheat either get no consequences or they get disciplined. Personally, I would be trying to get him disciplined. If he didn’t care what happened to you then why care about what happens to him? Also becoming a single parent is tough. Your first step would be (after splitting) to come up with a custody and child support arrangement. After the divorce, you may be entitled to alimony. Put in applications even if you don’t think you’ll get the job. There’s always the chance they’d be willing to over look inexperience and train the right person. If you’re in NJ (because I know we have a base here) shoot me a message and I’ll see how I can help

Parenting alone is way easier then Living in a toxic home. I was single mother of 3 boys and 1 girl. They were very young. Was it easy? No way.but the peace we had not living with a toxic person far suprassed the struggles. Love your self. Let your child see that you loved yourself enough not to put up with disrespect. I’m praying for you.

You asked for a sign from the universe, that is your sign! LEAVE!
I took my portion of our tax refund when I left years ago to start a new life. Wasn’t much but got me a place and I started fresh. I had a job though so I would get that lined up first and then see if you qualify for help with childcare. I spent many years in bad relationships giving them the benefit of the doubt and it’s one of my biggest regrets. Love yourself and your child enough to leave. Good luck Momma

It’s crazy hard at first, but you can do it. One of the hardest parts to do is walk away from the situation.
Don’t beat yourself up about it. We weren’t given a manual on “life” of how to raise our kids. Sometimes we fall down but mommas always get back up.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. It hurts when you know they won’t change. I moved myself and kids 6 hours from my ex (he had visitation where we met in the middle but due to drug use it was cut off by a judge) and live with my mom and grandmother. I am about to start a second job and the one I’m about to start has the potential to become a career making good money so I’m hoping that by the end of the year I can quit my first job. It’ll be hard on you at first but if you have a close friend or family member that can help you then eventually you’ll get to where you’re comfortable on your own. You got this.
A child doesn’t fix things… you knew what he was…what he is and what he continues to be. As u said. Hou know what has to be done. Use this as your opportunity to set yourself free

Girl do you and take care of your child there are more fish out there he’s not only one
Use this time to get yourself set up to be on your own legally. If you need to do some sort of schooling get it done, start researching childcare, set up a move if needed, etc. Speak with lawyers and see your doctor. I also suggest therapy. Obviously he doesn’t respect you nor love you. So you have to do that for yourself and protect you from what he’s doing. Since this was some sort of second chance it sounds like you know he didn’t just falter, this is gonna be a pattern. Lean on whatever support you have… let them help you.

I got my CNA. I don’t know where you are but it’s enough to live off of
The hardest part is the break up but once you get over it you will find you’re not having to stress yourself out so much by investigating his movements. The best thing you can do for your sanity is to drop him. Your child will be fine and won’t have to experience mommy constantly investigating daddy’s shenanigans. Change? It’s easy as heck for him to do what he’s doing because he isn’t actually with you physically. He gives you no thought. That’s how little you mean to him. Stop giving him your time and energy and focus on your baby. Focus on your life without him. Only contact him if it’s about the child. A child will not “fix” him. He has to want to and he’s obviously not going to. I can only imagine the std/sti he will bring home to you if you stay with him. Trust me you got this. I take care of 5 children all by myself. I know you can do this.

My husband was a vet. Did 3 tours. He died in 2018 from his own hand. Now I’m a widow of two children, one is special needs. If I can do it, you can do it. I’m also in college full time. If there is a will there is a way. Kick ass, and take names later. Positive vibes your way. Brush it off, you deserve better.
This is not your fault. He is a grown man and he is responsible solely for his actions. Yes, you stayed after other shady business because you have a good heart. Now you can move on knowing you tried your hardest, but please move on. You deserve better and your child deserves to see their mom treated with love and respect. That starts with you loving and respecting yourself. I will bet he will blame you and curse you when you leave. He we ill probably say you never tried or never loved him. Keep on going. You know what is true and anyone that knows you will know the truth so let everyone else believe what they wish. I made the mistake of trying to prove the ex wrong and make everyone see I tried. It didn’t work and made me miserable. Then I let it go. I had 3 kids when I left.

He’s gone rn so take the time to not worry about him and focus on You. Take classes if you can and ask friends for open jobs they know of. Save some money aside and before he comes back leave his ass. YOU CAN DO IT MAMA. Single moms make a way every day. You’re stronger and smarter than you think. Trust Me.
Why you stressing over losing someone that clearly does not stress about losing you?
Time to only worry about yourself and child, and implement your goals.
He’s the one deployed, so use that to your advantage.
Ghost him right back, or the very least, be short and very curt, with one-worded answers.
You have a lot of control over this and your life if you change your perspective.
Will it be easy? Not always, but not living a life full of disrespect, lies and embarrassment brought on by a person that was supposed to care about you will always be worth it.

You have the rest of his deployment to prepare yourself. I assume you are financially supported right now, start putting money aside. Start a side hustle on the low or something you can sustain when you do leave. Play nice with him to keep the peace for yourself but also start detaching your feelings. You have to switch to survival mode for you and your child. Prepare to leave while he has no clue, do not tell anyone your plan accept maybe a therapist. You don’t want word getting out to him, he will make your life a living hell. He is not going to change it will only get worse.
With him being in the military there is no way around it he WILL pay child support. I would not harass his chain of command though. If he gives you any threats, keep record of it, screenshots, copies of emails, anything you can to prove he has become abusive (he will).

First of all, STOP BLAMING YOURSELF!! Period. This is HIS DECISION to be a cheating ass, not yours. You can do this girl. As women, we are so strong. But as mothers, we have super human strength!! Your baby is young enough that he won’t remember anything negative so get out now while the gettin is good! He’s in another country? Perfect. Time. To. Leave. His. Cheating. Self. Stop calling/texting him. He’ll get the message, BELIEVE ME. And when he does, he’s gunna try to guilt you into taking him back. Mark my words. He’ll try to use yalls baby, saying how the baby “deserves both parents”, he’ll tell you how sorry he is, how sorry YOU ARE for “leaving him while he’s busting his ass in another country”. He’ll pull out all the stops. You be strong. YOU CAN DO THIS. You are better than this and you deserve better than this! Best of luck to you and your baby and as far as your husband is concerned? May his crotch be infested with the fleas of a thousand camels and may his arms be too short to scratch.
I can’t stand a cheater. 
You just put one foot in front of the other.
Save the screen shots. Go to the courthouse and fill out the papers for free to get primary care for your child and support.
One step at a time.
I am a single mother of 4 and you just make it work any way you can.
I’m sorry this is happening but you gotta get out of that relationship. Nobody deserves that.

So in answer to your question… how do you parent alone? You just do it, theres no trick to it no one answer. You just wake up everyday and you do it. Even on the hard days, the sad days and the you are not ok days. You have to be there for your child and once in a while remember to take some time for yourself if it’s possible… If you keep allowing this to happen he will keep doing it. A man will change if he WANTS to, when he WANTS to…You can do it. Women have been doing this for centuries… You are not alone and you are a lot stronger than even you know…

Save everything. Screen shots with time and date stamps are great. Move back to wherever you have the most support. File for custody and support as soon as you move. Do not let him sweet talk you or threaten you. Men like this do not deserve a good woman like you. Remember that none of this is your fault. He is just a disgusting human being.

I was initially like what really everyone has social media of various platforms. But the more I read the more I was like no! You need to leave him. He isn’t going to stop an doesn’t give a damn how it affects you. Being in the military an being deployed doesn’t give you a free pass to do whatever you want. You’re not special just bc you serve even though it is honorable for you to do. It’s not an excuse to be a narcissistic asshat. An it’s definitely not an excuse to cheat! Girl leave his ass bc he clearly doesn’t get it and definitely doesn’t deserve you.
I was able to start working administration jobs before my degree was finished, while I took a 3 yr hiatus from a psychology degree. I’d start looking for an entry level job or even a temp job to build up your resume. Some places will pay for you to finish your degree. It sounds like you don’t want to leave, you just want him to do better. Whatever you end up doing, cling to your reason for it. I’d go to your family resource officer and ask them to help you also

Open a bank account and start putting money he sends home away then when the time is right. Tell him that because of his infidelity you will not tolerate his behavior. Then leave with your child and never look back. He will have to pay Child support and as many have said in previous posts…his behavior is not tolerated in the Military so when that time comes make sure to get in touch with his commander or whoever you need to to get the support you need.

Ew, throw the entire man away. Seek employment with your local goodwill. They will put you through college.
I went through something similar, I had a two year old and was pregnant. I stayed with my mom for a few months, worked full time, was only able to take 2 weeks maternity leave, found a small cheap house and moved out again. It’s unbelievably hard to be a single mom (or dad) but we do what we have to for our kids. I worked at a hotel because most have few requirements to start and are always hiring.

It breaks my heart when I see stories like this. It’s gross. Dishonorable. Inexcusable. If they want to do that, they need to be single. They’re obviously meant to be alone if they can’t be exclusive to one person and feel the need to get attention from other women. You need to decide what you can live with and what you can’t. If you’ve made your feelings known and he’s still following trash, then it’s time to move on. You deserve so much more than to feel like you’re not enough. I speak from experience, as do many other people who are reading this I’m sure.
I’m sorry your going through this because you probably feel alone. according to history some dudes just aren’t built to be in monogamous relationships, Kevin samuels on YouTube talks a lot about it, he can get sometimes hotheaded tho if someone is giving attitude back
Girl I didn’t even finish high-school (my mom was severely sick and her husband was on drugs so I dropped out to help with my younger siblings) and I did just fine as a single mother starting at 4 months pregnant
I only recently got into a serious relationship when my son was 2 years old. Before that I’d work full time. I also signed up for foodstamps (life saving honestly) and just made sure that at least once a month I had someone else to take my son for a weekend
The freedom was the best feeling ever
You could even go back to school if you wanted! It’s no different than being with the person you’re with except the stress of constantly being cheated on isn’t there

I hate to see any marriage not work. If you truly feel that you have given your all to save your marriage and this is the outcome I would have to say it’s time for you to concentrate on you and your baby. You can do this. Yes, it will be difficult but your a mama bear doing what’s best for your baby! And you! Good luck sweetheart:tulip:
Hustle until you find the right thing. There are businesses and opportunities out there that will support you and work with you but you have to take the hardest step which is putting yourself out there. It’ll be an adjustment but you will be okay. If you need help, just know your county can guide you and you shouldn’t be left to hang in the divorce. I did it after 9 years as a stay at home mom with 4 kids and it does get easier.
I parented 3 daughters alone on $144 a month in child support for about 7 years. I’m not saying it’s easy because it isn’t. I worked 40-50 hours a week. It would be exceptionally easier if you have any friends or family to help also! Good luck!
Stop blaming yourself. He’s not doing this because of you. He’s doing it because he’s an inconsiderate, disrespectful, cheating MF.
You’ve caught him doing this before. You’re at a point where you’re either gonna have to accept it and let him do it (which I wouldn’t recommend) or leave him.
