Newly single mum

[Louise88]

well me and my ex have been trying to make our relationship work for the last 2 years and came to the agreement yesterday that we'd be better off apart as our constant arguing is only going to effect our kids in the long run and neither of us want that we would have split up 2 years ago if I hadn't been pregnant with my little boy at the time but we stayed together for the wrong reasons.

Although its something I've expected and wanted i suppose deep down it still feels weird to not be with him, I'm not scarred of being a single mum as my ex worked a lot of hours anyways so I was always on my own so I'm used to the routine of being on my own.

Tonight is my first night on my own. Not sure what the whole point of this thread is but suppose I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm glad I have somewhere to come if ever I need to talk.

I'm relatively recently a single mum too and it was also a long time coming really.

I can see you have been through hard time and tried to fix your situation out without success and guess you gonna have lonely hard time now. So I just wanted to say that you are strong to make such decision. cheer up!

Thank you for the replies, to be honest I spent the first few days having anxiety attacks (not really sure why) but I'm all good now and have accepted the situation, my ex popped round tonight to see the kids before they went to bed and he really wants to still be part of their life, hes currently getting a place sorted for him to move into and has asked if he can have the kids 1 night a week to give me a break. It's nice that's its ended on good terms and not bad but I can guarantee I'm in no rush to to move on lol just going to be me and my little ones for the next few years I reckon

That's really great that it's ended on good terms and that he's still being hands on with the kids
