Relationships take work. Figure out if it is worth trying to save. I think since you have a kid together you should at least try. If you can't make it work, stay involved in the kids life & pay child support.

Try everything possible to work things out, but if things don't work out, make sure the kid knows you both still love them, and it's not their fault things didn't work out between you and the mother, and both of you will still be there for them.

Go to counseling together if you need to.

You could take that a couple of different ways. She could be cheating, she could be looking for a way out, or she could be saying you aren't paying her enough attention.

Whatever the case might be, you have trust issues in the relationship. You need to really talk them over with her before you end the relationship. In that, I mean make sure you fought for it before you walk away. You owe that to her, yourself, and for the child that did not ask to come into this world. Far too often, people end relationships for the wrong reasons, just as often as they go into them for the wrong reasons. It shouldn't be that easy. There are just too many "what ifs" and not enough information for any of us to accurately give you an opinion.

If the kids are being traumatized or are miserable because mom and dad have irreconcileable differences, it is a cop out to stay in the marriage or relationship "for the sake of the kids". Oftentimes, what that translates to is that it will be too expensive to separate or divorce and establish two households. So, put on those big boy pants and....


Good Luck!

tough it out and put on a happy face until your kid get bigger.

or leave and stay true to being a father first and foremost. Never abandon your child. Child is your number one priority.
