How can I make him leave?
Sun, 10-10-2004 - 7:29pm
Hi all....I've been in a relationship with someone for almost 3 years now...we have a year and a half old son together. After the whole time we've been together, my boyfriend has not had a job...he doesn't help with housework and rarely watches our son when I go to work. I love him, but I'm not in love with him anymore and I'm not happy. we've broken up before, but he always comes back, crying, and I feel bad so I let him come back. I don't want to hurt him, but I want to be happy...and, I think the only way I can be is to live my life without him there. (Of course, he would still be in our son's life) what should I do? How can I make him understand that I don'nt want to be with him anymore? More importantly, how can I stay strong enough not to break down and let him come back?
