Single mum
I’m leaving my children’s father, I need to make sure I have everything in place though before I do. I’m just looking for some support and kind words because mentally I’m not ok.
I have 2 children, 2 year old and a 4 month old. I work full time and he’s stay at home parent. We rent and contract is in both names. We also get universal credit as a couple.
I don’t know how I’m going to manage. Do I move out and leave him with the kids and pay maintenance, or do I leave my job and rely on the benefit system until my youngest starts nursery. Either option is destroying me.
I have no savings, nobody to fall back on, no support system. Mentally I can’t be with him anymore after all the lies. He’s a good dad, but a crap partner. And I can’t stay just because my children love him

If there's no abuse then is it not an option to just mentally check out of the relationship? You don't even have to say anything to him, no big drama, just let the romantic relationship fall? I'd say it's fine as long as you don't start a romantic relationship with anyone else - and I would be EXTREMELY wary of any man wanting to try to get into a romantic relationship with you with 2 small children. You don't need to make a decision today unless you or your children are at risk of harm - you have the upper hand because you know that for you the relationship is over, you get to take your time to decide your next move x
