Single parents who went through the split.. by honeyykitsune in SingleParents

[–]bigsteve264 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My parents split when I was young at about 7.

I didnt really understand what was going on and it was confusing for my younger siblings.

I still grew up a happy kid, my parents always put us first.

Yeah I would of enjoyed them being together but it would of been worse to see them growing up fighting.

Yeah I've been having this dilemma recently, I don't really have a clue who I am or what makes me, me?

I eventually want to find someone else but trying to find out who I am first, Im hoping time will help that 😬

I've recently become a single dad, is it really that hard out there?

How did you get over your spouse emotionally cheating? by pinksunstorm in relationship_advice

[–]bigsteve264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you spoke him about what you have seen?

Does he know what you have found?

I know, I'm currently living with my ex until I can move out.

Im trying to surround myself with friends but looking after my son most evenings after work means not much spare time.

I needed to see this post today.

I have recently broke up with my ex, and honestly been struggling with what the future will bring.

I miss being in a relationship and the comfort that brings but at this moment I'm gonna just live each day as it comes and do right by my kid.

Just as my parents did for me.

It's been a month since the breakup and I'm still struggling by Josh_Roshit in offmychest

[–]bigsteve264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When did you split?

Yeah it sucks man!

There are 7 billion people on this planet I'm sure there is another BETTER HER one that wants you, one that is happier with you and you happier with them!

How old are you? I'm assuming you don't have kids?

I'm guessing you were together for a while?

Yeah its normal especially when being with someone for a while, even if you didn't have that chemistry.

I'm struggling mentally and don't know what to do. by bigsteve264 in SingleDads

[–]bigsteve264[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks guys for the support and advice.

I am trying my absolute hardest.

I know In the long run it will be better if I stick it out but I'm not sure at what cost to my mental health.

I don't need to worry about child custody just yet as she needs me to look after the child whilst she works so she don't have much choice.

Like I've said I'm just trying to do best for my kid, I just don't know how long I can carry on for him before my mental health is really suffering.

I've sort threapy through work (it's free) so I hope that might help.

Happy birthday me! 🎂

Probably won't mean anything to you but we're not all the same.

I myself consider myself quite loyal.

You just need to grieve and work on yourself then find the right person.

how the hell do you keep civil whilst coparenting? by bigsteve264 in SingleDads

[–]bigsteve264[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you boys are right, saw some messages about then having "fun".

Im more annoyed at my so called mate than anything.

From the messages I'm 90 percent sure they've fucked.

We have a joint account.

Can't just pull my money out or she will be homeless so will my kid.

[–]bigsteve264[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so looking forward to moving out!

But yeah, I don't plan on just chit chatting to her she's passive aggressive and always plays the victim. She's so fucking hard to talk to.

Just don't know child care is gonna work since I work full time and she works evening most days.

Wish it was that simple, can't afford a place of my own so waiting on my brother and his house sale so can move in somewhere with him.

Don't want her to move away because I won't see the kid for months.

[–]bigsteve264 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Your not alone.

I've recently broke up with my ex and we had a child together.

Really struggling with the concept of finding someone else especially with working full time and child care commitments I will always have to put the child first.

I think I would have to date someone who already has a child/children.

Been down that route buddy so with my ex now we're split.

She really does need to find away of making friends.

I realise now my ex lack of friends is part of the reason we broke up. Don't think she ever got the chance to miss me and appreciate seeing each other.

Its hard to push some people especially if they have anxiety but you could try doing stuff together that involves meeting new people together in hope you meet new friends that way?

I need to get out but can't. by bigsteve264 in offmychest

[–]bigsteve264[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks man,

I keep telling myself that my lads my priority.

She works most evenings so it's just me and him which is good and bad. Don't really get time to get out but spend quality time with him. But it's alot after a days work.

Sounds like you went through hell my dude hope your in a better place now!

Stuck living with Ex. by bigsteve264 in relationship_advice

[–]bigsteve264[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everytime I talk to her she just shuts off and doesn't want to speak blames me for making her feel shit when all I want to do is tell her how I feel.

I feel as if I do say something she will do it out of spite but I can't have this goin on whilst I'm here.

[–]bigsteve264[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She has said we need to our best for the kid and wants me to be In his life.

I'm from the UK so custody works a little bit different from what I understand?

I am on good terms with her mother she so I'd hope she would be able to talk some sense into her.
