to stay or leave
| Thu, 07-08-2004 - 12:34pm |
I have lived with my significant other for about a year now and we dated a year before that. I have 3 children from a previous marriage and he has none and does not want any. I am a happy go lucky person and want the best for my children. He on the other hand has not had long term relationships and is somewhat of a negative person. In December we decided I could afford to stay home and be here for the kids and take care of the house. I get a very good amount in child support and help out with household bills. He beleives that money buys happiness and I do not. He has only a handfull of friends, of which i think are snobby and he does not enjoy going out with my friends or hanging out with my family-which is very important to me. For 2 years now i have not done much with my friends and family and recently decided that for my happiness I need to start doing the things I like to do. I have come to the conclusion that we are 2 different people. I left my husband because I want my kids to grow up and see happiness not fighting all the time. And now I sense that the negativity from my boyfriend is not good for them or for myself. He does love me and I love him, he provides a home for us. At this point I can't help feeling I would be better back on my own.

I think you have made the right decision. Not the easiest, but the right one.
Good luck
Thank you again.
