Newly single, mum of twins
As the title says this was not on my 2025 bingo card, after having a great 2024, where I got engaged and welcomed my twins at the end of last year. Soon to be ex is leaving because I won’t make him a promise that I will make him a priority! Yep you read that right, partner wants me to make a declaration to him that I will put him as a priority in my life. For the last 3 weeks he has been pressuring me to say it and I have refused because I have felt backed into a corner and bullied. It also feels like he wants me to submit and I am not doing it.
He has made the decision to leave without even giving me a chance to speak and it looks like he will be leaving at the end of the month.
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would be in this situation. And I absolutely hate it. I’m heartbroken to say the least as I never wanted this for my children, ever.
So how do I navigate this new chapter in my life? Any tips would be muchly appreciated.

This sounds like some Andrew Tate shit, I’m so sorry you’re going through this especially after having 2 little ones. I’ve been on my own from day one, all I can say is make sure to set yourself up with the right support whether that be a Mum’s group or even counselling. It’ll be hard to begin with but you will find your groove and be better off. You got this x
Also good on you for sticking with what you felt was right and not giving in to the bullying. That takes a lot of strength in itself.
