A Little Misunderstanding Cost Me My Relationship

I have tried to get him to be on the same page with me so we can resolve the problem and fix what is broken. He won’t do it. He is not open to even talking to me.

I am hurt at how determined he is to move on from me. It’s as if I never meant anything to him. It’s making me feel lonely. I am even wondering if he had been waiting for the chance to leave me all along.

I am trying to be strong for our baby but it’s hard for me to cope. Every day is a battle that leaves me feeling defeated. I thought we were going to raise this child together as a family. Now I’m here trying to navigate this new reality as a new mum while dealing with this heartbreak.

I want to know how long this feeling is going to last. The mums here who are separated from the father of your children, how are you able to show up strong despite how hard it is? I want to put myself together and face this painful reality.
