yea....

you are breaking up a family...I mean thats the reality...


but..

if you feel this is a strong enough reason..and we can only voice our opinions...I mean the internet is not the place to go for answers...



it is your decision to make...and only yours...if you think it is just... and there is not even a hint of doubt...then do what YOU think is right for all three of you....

but....I am a big believer....in doing what is in the best interest of the child....


just...do not ever forget the child.....

That is a form of control...period! You both should get parenting counseling so you know how to parent without the relationship between the two of you.

In the end the child is the one that suffers :(

i'm a young guy but im not like eveyr young guy out there i actually care about my son i love him to death. so i will always be there for him and spend time with him, i know it will effect him in the long runbut i cant live with his mom. i have all the respect for her shes a great mom but me and her just dont click.

understandable

As much as having a family together is nice, it is best for you to be happy, and if leaving your son's mother is what it takes to make you happy, then there isn't a problem there, just be sure to be there for your son through the years, and let him know he is not at fault for what happened between the two of you.

I am a single mom as well. My daughters father left for another women who I happen to know well. I am also a firm believer in sticking it out and making things work. But sometimes a relationship can't work. So my advice:

Put your child first. No matter what goes on the child is the one in the middle and is suffering.

The women is suffering right now and she may be saying things she may not mean. Or come to regret later on in life. Trust me she should be thankful you still want to be around.

Go to your local General Attorney office and set up your visits and pay your Child Support. That is most important.

Welcome and hope all works out for the best.

I think you did the right thing. Just keep loving him like you do and be responsible

Right or wrong, I think children need to feel loved and love around them. A bad relationship with a lot of arguing is never good for children - no matter how quiet you are - they know. It is equally important to show respect for the other parent regardless of living together or not.

me and my ex are best friends and have never bad mouthed each other the only ones who suffer is the kids its not worth it

thanks, alot of your responses make me feel alot better.

i would not stay with someone if we had a kid and the relationship was going bad, i would be happy and move on with my life
