I’m a first time mum and my son is nearly 10 months old. I understand that having a baby will challenge your relationship… but at what point is enough?? I feel like since having my son. I’m no longer interested in our relationship. Having our son has almost made me feel like I can see things more clearly and my partners ‘true colours’ are more obvious. Whereas before having my son any behaviours I didn’t like, would just be brushed under the carpet, but having my son makes me feel less tolerant to this. I don’t want to paint my partner out to be bad a person, but he’s quite verbally aggressive and I’m tired of it.(I’m also not perfect myself) but sometimes I think would it be easier on me emotionally to do this on my own?? I’ve had thoughts about leaving but I’m worried about the financial side and having no support around me. We both own our home together and my partner has mentioned in the past that if I wanted to leave then it would be me moving out and him staying with our son. (He’s a solicitor) which also worries me if we I tried to end the relationship. I’m just feeling stuck and unhappy. I’m sorry this is long

I’m sorry but why should it be you leaving while he stay with your son? You mentioned he’s verbally aggressive,he shouldn’t be left to raise a child alone.

I don’t think it matters who made the decision to split, if the relationship is no longer working,then it’s not working. O think and from what I know, the person who stays with the baby is the most stable one, and it’s also usually the mom. Don’t let him scare you. You can speak to a lawyer also to know what your options are .
