"So, are you saying, being in a relationship you should

expect flowers out of the blue now an then? "

No I'm sorry I phrased that wrong,it was a typo... I DON'T think flowers out of the blue is a healthy expectation.

Your kids don't like him or the way they treat you. You know what? Your kids are right. Maybe you should dump him for THEIR sake if you can't do it for your own. It's sad when a child wants the best for you but you aren't willing to take that step.

Leaving him is the best thing you can do for your family.

In order to know if this is a healthy relationship, you simply have to ask yourself, what are you standards for a relationship? What do you need to feel wanted, respected and cared for? You have every right and every responsibility to yourself to set up your own standards and live by them. If you feel that this person is not treating you in a way that feels acceptable, and makes you happy, then it is up to you to take care of yourself and say good bye. If you cannot do it on your own, get some help from a well trained professional who can help you sort out what's going on there and support you to make a healthy choice.


Best wishes,
