I had to stay will with my ex for more than 6 months before I was able to get out. it wasn’t great, but it gave me time to set myself up.
Just think about your child and do what’s best for them. Whether that’s staying or leaving ultimately.
@Donatina currently in this situation, gritting my teeth, hoping he moves out by the new year!
How you left if you still live together? Can’t understand this. Leaving takes courage and a point where there is no way back. Maybe your not ready yet and you can support more bad treatment from your partner? Uncomfortable is a very smooth word. Sit down and think, get a paper and write down the reasons why you want to leave and why you want to stay- pros and cons. If you have some financial back up will be great. Try to make a plan on living situation, where you will go, how you’ll pay your rent and bills and food, etc. If the situation is very bad- leave , and you’ll find help on your way to freedom !
I’m not a stay at home mom, so I ultimately was able to leave and get my own place, but regardless you are doing the right thing. Your kids don’t need to see you fighting and miserable. They deserve to see you happy and healthy even if it’s not with their parent. I have an amazing partner now and I am forever greatful that my kids will never think that being sad and uncomfortable is the way relationships are supposed to be.
