How do u get the courage and strength to leave ur husband after he attempted to cheat on u. ( the girl told me they didn’t fuck but he took her “shopping” and she didn’t give him anything)
Like help!! Ik he doesn’t love me but I really hate the idea of becoming a single mom and struggling and I also feel like I still love him (ik I’m a clown) I need advice from women that has been through this. How do u get over the father of ur child?!!!

Told myself there was someone better that would know my value. Left and never looked back.
But I'm wondering how you found the other lady and how she told u it was just shopping? 🤔
Is that truly all? I'm just hoping you are not over thinking something where there is nothing.
Because it's a different thing if he actually cheats.

REMEMBER THAT YOU'RE MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOUR RELATIONSHIP. LOVE YOURSELF MORE
IT'S TOOK ME 3 YEARS AND MY CURRENT PARTNER FOR ME TO LEAVE

Honestly id leave to. He was ok with cheating on you. And you staying is gonna show him you will tolerate it as long as he comes home. He may act better for a while but the truth is he don’t really love you. He will most likely do it again unless he works very hard on himself. (Which i doubt he will do) But also kids learn whats acceptable by example. I would want my kids to know that should NEVERRR be tolerated. Not only that he could have caught something and exposed it to you or your children! Like wtf. He wasn’t thinking of his kids when he was out spending money on her. Honestly get mad. Use that anger to be pissed and leave. The audacity that man had to disrespect not only you but yall children too is wild. Have faith and trust that you got it. It may hurt but remember loving somebody can be temporary especially if theres trama behind it. There are better days to come and your children need to see you be loved right.

Feel the fear and do it anyway. This is a saying I live by. Because if you let fear take over your life, you will become trapped, feeling constantly stuck in place, nothing ever changing. You could really look at this from another perspective. What would you tell your child if they came to you and told you their partner did this to them? If you would advise your child to leave, why don’t you? I also think that often as well being in a broken relationship where trust is not there, with pain in your heart, your child will be better off without having this possible weight on their shoulders that they can’t shake off. People usually think it’s better to stay together for the sake of the child, but actually you can ultimately hurt the child by staying instead. My parents had a toxic relationship, suspected cheating, trust issues, resentment build ups and that weight fell on their kids me being one of them who struggled massively from the effects of their relationship

And to add to it, you are deserving of a respectful and honest and loyal partner. You don’t deserve to be treated this way and you do not have to stay. If you truly think he’ll change and put in the work to repair this trust he has broken, then it could take a while but so be it. But don’t just stay for your kids. From a kid from a broken home, I wish my parents never stayed together for us. And even after they did eventually separate they still have a toxic relationship and it’s horrible. They never actually fixed anything. Do it for what you really believe in. If you believe that there is a possibility he will do it again then leave. Or try the other route and see the outcome but do it for the both of you. Don’t use your kids as a reason. They don’t wanna be a reason. You both need to be in it for each other and if one of you is not then it’s not going to fix anything. Take care of yourself and don’t create more harm to yourself because you deserve much more

The thought of being a single mom is terrifying. I’m looking down that same road now, but if he doesn’t respect you it’s probably just gonna hurt more down the road. I’ve been in a relationship for almost 7 years, have a young baby now and feeling very sad things aren’t turning out the way they should:/ but if someone isn’t gonna respect you then the best choice is to choose yourself and your baby. Life goes on. We will survive and find happiness

Do u want ur child growing up around this??? Do u want someone to treat your child like babydaddy is treating you??
