sensitive question (warning ***)


sorry if this might upset anyone on here but i think this is the right place to ask

why did you break up with your partner ? was it because of him or his family ?

............... if this upset you , please ignore it


i'm asking this because i feel like my relationship with my husband is at the breaking point atm, all of this because of his mom
he knows it and we talked about it all the time but he never done anything coz he doesn't want to upset her....
i already posted on GS forum about the situation i'm in

i just don't feel like i can go on any more

Me and fob split up mainly because of his mum...obviously I cant blame her completely. She's a control freak...when I got pregnant she basically decided for him that his career was more important and a baby would ruin his life. He agreed with her tho!! Xx

*Big Hugs!*

I don't think you should break up because of his mum. I know how awful they can be (As my FOB mum is currently in prision for dealing drugs...) but i think two people should never break up because of anyone else, but only because of each other.

Me and FOB broke up because he decided he didn't want us to be a family, and he didn't love me anymore. So i didn't get much choice in the matter.

but if you love each other, try and work it out.

What kind of problems are you having with the MIL?

mine is very controlling too in every single thing in everyone's life basically .it;s just so stressful for everybody, me ,oh, and even lo
lo is very clingy with me when she's here and seems to be grumpy all the time too. But when my family is here lo is very happy and plays with everyone and not clingy to me at all, he seems like a different boy

Long and complicated...trying to sum it up lol

Me and FOB were v.good friends sort of started a relationship but didnt really iykwim.
Got pregnant.
Tried to work something out, wasnt happening he was completly unrealistic, getting pissed all the time etc didnt come to appointments with me. Had been sleeping with another girl and was "in love" with her..but she wasnt interested in him already had a bf and just wanted the company while her partner was working. Left me to it type thing so basically it didnt work out even from the start. lol

Thats the really rough summed up crappy version.

Ummmm i found out i was pregnant, he wanted me to have a termination, i refused, so he just refused to talk about the subject for two weeks, then i found out he was cheating on me with like 5 different girls, so i packed his stuff for him and sent him on his way best decision ive ever made! lol

I always said he could see lo though, he just chooses not too.

in what way is she controlling? I found out a couple of weeks ago that none of the family like her - only person who can't see it is fob!!! She wrote me letters and everything saying he wasn't ready for a baby and basically said I had trapped him. I did find out after we split up that he'd been messaging other girls via facebook saying that he was gutted nothin happened between them and he was sending pics of his body to a diff girl. And he put pressure on me to have an abortion - even at 13 weeks pregnant after the scan.

I agree with bloodbinds in that people shouldnt split up because of someone else but sometimes it happens. What has fob said about it? My fob wasnt interetsed when i told his mum needed to butt out...there was no hope. I had to decide whether I could cope with that for the rest of my life and I couldnt. If you're unhappy and there is no chance of things changing....whats the point?

Me and fob broke up because he cheated and got another girl pregnant. I think you should talk to the mom and tell her to butt out if he's to scared to upset her
