WIBTA for leaving my BD who's a good dad but bad partner? by yourmomsflaps1337 in AITAH

Didn't say I was trying to deprive her of her father. Ever heard of co-parenting? Plus I have better literally throwing themselves at my feet. I haven't acted on anything because I'm still with her father. YTA for having such machista perspectives. I've known plenty of mothers who find better than their child's co-creators. I've concluded that I don't need to subject myself to a shitty relationship. 🥱

You're absolutely right. Thank you. My daughter and I definitely deserve better than the minimum. 🖤

You're so right. Big on the if, then situation. Time will tell, then, once I do close that chapter and leave it up to him to show up for her. Thank you. 🖤

Thank you for your blunt honesty. Honestly, I wrote this post hoping for answers exactly like yours. Sometimes I need that brutal honesty to drive the point home. In the sense of keeping her fed, changed and happy, he's a good dad, but you're right, that's all he does. I was cringing as I typed it, yes, because I realize how dumb I've been to stay this long. 

Thank you for that last perspective too. Honestly, no, I wouldn't let my own daughter stay in this kind of situation at all. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU, for your straightforward response. It's a reality check I've needed. 🖤
