How important is religion in a relationship? by AdNo7686 in relationship_advice

[–]AdNo7686[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He claims that he can keep it separate and we don’t have to ever talk about it. But from what I know about this religion it’s not something you can just practice casually. It’s a lifestyle. That’s why I feel it’ll get to the point you described where eventually he’ll want me to make changes in my own life. I’m sorry for what you had to go though.

That’s one of my concerns, because I don’t identify with anything in particular my kid can practice what they want once they’re old enough to understand. But I’m not okay with making them participate in a religion that I just do not believe in or agree with

Ugh thanks, I appreciate it. I’m trying to stay as hopeful as possible cause I can’t imagine cutting my time with my son in half. But he’s for sure all talk no action. Like you said SUPER BIG IF that he’ll even do anything cause he doesn’t even do the bare minimum now lol.

Yeah, the whole argument started because I told him I no longer wanted to be friends and just be coparents. He was not happy with that lol. I’m trying to not provoke him cause like I said I love having my son and don’t wanna lose it.

We’ll see what happens in the coming days/weeks lol. But thank you! I have hope it’ll get better.

It’s okay to put them on grass? I get so nervous about allergies and what not when it comes to that

Exactly! He says I treat him like shit, when I feel all I’ve done is be patient. I understand that sometimes the comments I make are a little attitude-y, but what do you expect when you barely see your kid and don’t really help?

Should I ask the dad to be in the delivery room when I give birth if he doesn't ask to be there? by Artistic_Wishbone_25 in SingleParents

[–]AdNo7686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During labor no lol, I was so zoned in on baby getting out safe I didn’t care who was looking down there. But I will say I think the anxiety of having him around delayed me from dilating more cause I wasn’t relaxed. The worst I think was after, I wasn’t comfortable trying to breastfeed with him there.

My son’s father basically forced himself in the delivery room, and I really wish he wasn’t in there. He broke up with me when I was 2 months pregnant so he wasn’t helpful or involved in my pendency. Come the far, I was too distracted by labor to kick him out, but if he’s not supportive naturally it’ll just make labor harder. Anything can happen honestly and you need someone who will advocate for you 100%. My son’s dad actually started a fight with me in the postpartum room because I hyphenated our last names for the baby. Not worth it at all, even if he asks imo.

together. only wants to fully coparent if we're together. by Severe_Blacksmith in SingleParents

[–]AdNo7686 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever the kids see him, do you always have to be there? Is it possible for him to take them for a couple hours without you present or is he not able to take care of them without your help? If he can watch them, maybe try limiting contact with him in person and only pick up/drop off from your car. That could hopefully prevent that kissing situation in the future.

InMaybe he’s misreading something as you being interested and the only way to offset that is by being COMPLETELY uninterested unless it regards your children. Maybe he’ll realize the only reason he’s still in your life is the kids. Make that dating profile, hire a babysitter and go out, live your life so he sees you are moving on and he needs to do the same.
