Im a 29 year old divorcée / single mom. I left my husband because I found out he had been cheating on me. That was icing on the cake after he had slowly morphed into a controlling, alcoholic, scary man over the course of a 2 year marriage. Long story short, I got up the nerve to divorce him leaving me with only $200.00 to my name (because I was forbidden to work) and a 5 year old child. I pulled myself together, starting working again, and met a guy I had known from years ago but never dated, and started finding support in him as a friend. He helped me financially and emotionally and of course as much as I never wanted it to happen... I fell in love with him. After all, he was my former husbands complete opposite. He didn't drink, he had a great job, he was amazing with my child, he was sweet to me in every way, he always wanted me around. We moved in together... he would volunteer to babysit while I went out with my new girlfriends from work (something I was never allowed to do before)! It was great!! Then about a year into it which brings me to present... he wanted me to quit my job so we had no child care costs... I did. He doesn't like me going out... I don't. He used to go on and on about how attractive he thought I was... he doesn't. He wanted to spend every waking moment with me... not now. He's suddenly accusing me of being unfaithful when I had gone out in the beginning of our relationship (while he babysat and told me "you need to get out for a while") He is still AllStar Dad to my child, but he's resembling a kinder version of my ex to me. He tells me he thinks I might have fooled around on him earlier in the relationship and he needs the truth. The truth is that I did not. He doesn't believe me and says things won't be the same until he finds out what happened. This argument is getting more frequent as time goes by. He used to bring it up here and there... now its several times daily. I can't take the stress! I'm tired of defending myself. It's become very emotionally draining for me. He treats me like garbage when he starts with this fight... won't even touch me or speak to me. Then time goes by and he's OK and nice to me... then BAM out of nowhere we go at it again. Is now the time to end it? What else can be done? I worry my child will be hurt beyond repair. They have a very deep bond. One she has never had even with her father because he was never there. -At my wits end :confused:
