Baby Daddy

I feel like I’m experiencing the same thing so you aren’t alone. Been with my sons father 5 years and it’s been hard to say the least. I feel I’m ready for something new but I don’t know

You just have to ask yourself, what would you tell your daughter to do if she came to you for advice about this situation. Since we want the best for our kids, you would probably tell her to not waste any time and to make moves because she deserves happiness, so do you.
It’s scary but you just gotta take the leap and take what comes with it, it will be worth it, trust me.
Personally I left a 9 year relationship with no job, no car, no phone and two days later I had 2 jobs, a new car and phone and I felt better than I had in years.

Have you done absolutely everything you can to try to make it work? Have you been to a relationship counselor? If not it could be worth giving that a go before deciding to leave - like you say it's better in the long run for your daughter to have happy parents, but the best thing would be if there were a way you could be happy together. And if counselling doesn't work and you both agree the relationship is irretrievable, the counselor can help you separate in a way that will minimise the upset and disruption to your daughter's life.

I held on for 5 years with my ex my daughter is now 10 and she remembers what it was like, she remembers the constant arguing and I even remember her saying to me when she was 6 (we had been split for a year) that she likes her happy mummy now, and that broke my heart because the first 5 years of her life was miserable for both of us
