Me and my partner have been together 8 years we have 7 month old..he cheated previously and should of just left but I didn’t..gave him to many chances
Since having our baby there’s been other things and now he signed his self on a dating website which I found out from a friend…I know I need to leave but don’t want that for our baby.
I’ve said I was gonna leave before and he threatened saying that I’m not allowed to leave with our baby and so on.
I love him which makes it all so much harder, I don’t know how I still do after everything. I’m just in two minds with it do I just forget about it all and it properly will happen again but like my baby have that “family unit” or get out and found myself again

don’t blame yourself for not leaving him sooner. him threatening you is NOT OKAY!!! in this situation it seems you should reach out to your support system and let them know you are contemplating leaving. i know you love him but you should do what’s best for you and your baby, would you want your baby to go through this? kids will pick up on your emotions. take care of yourself and your little one 🤍

Hey, I’m really sorry you’re going through this. You don’t deserve to be treated this way.
He’s cheated multiple times and is still on dating sites that’s a pattern, not a mistake. Wanting your son to have a family is completely understandable, but staying somewhere you feel hurt or threatened isn’t healthy for you or him.
His threat about you not being able to leave with your son isn’t okay. He doesn’t get to decide that, and you’re not trapped.
You still loving him doesn’t make you weak, but you also deserve trust, respect, and peace. Whatever you choose, just please remember that you and your little one deserve a safe, stable, loving environment.
