don't know if i should call it quits
| Tue, 01-29-2008 - 4:48pm |
I'm 20 years old and I have the most beautiful little boy. I've been with his father for about 2 years. Everything was good of course we had our ups and downs

"We started to constantly argue and it got to the point where it was verbally and sometimes physically abusive. "
Yes, you NEED to call it quits NOW. Once it escalates to abuse, especially physical, there is no going back to the way things were. Your son can only benefit from being away from this. Although I do wonder, who is the abusive one in your relationship? If it's both of you, you still need to break up, but anger management classes need to be taken.
I'm sorry about your relationship. If it's any consolation, your son will be better off if you separate.
By the way:

LOL.. you mean "get go" :) This was really cute, just saying! :)
Welcome to the board becky8806,
The decision to stay would be a worse one for your son. Then he would grow up in a household learning that physical violence is okay. I don't think that the kind of life you want for him.
Leave your bf, but don't start another relationship right away either.

'verbally and sometimes physically abusive. '
You CAN NOT raise your son in this atmosphere or he will learn that abusing his girlfriends is o.k. Be responsible and get out. You have a responsibility to your son to provide a safe environment.
What about staying away from men for now? You don't need to show your son men coming in and out of your life either.
Welcome to the board becky8806,
Before you decide that this co-worker is the guy for you, please decide what to do about your relationship first.
If you are living together and having nothing to do with each other physically or emotionally, then the relationship is basically over and only one of convenience. Under those conditions, it is natural that you would become interested in someone else. You ask what to do? As you have a child together, perhaps before you actually leave, it would be a good idea to go for couple counseling and see if it's possible to work through the problems that you have. It can never hurt to give it your best. If you find you cannot work them through, then
