I guess if it was me I'd start asking myself whether this is the kind of relationship you want your child to grow up with. keeping in mind that your relationship with him is what is teaching your child how a man/woman should treat each other.

If you don't see the relationship lasting, is it better to cut it off now or later.

Are you going to allow him to continue to have a relationship with your child if you do break up?

I would want them to keep their bond without confusing her. She's only seven, so I don't know how well that would work.

After a little more info, it sounds like you two are just living together out of convenience. Sounds like more fear of being on your own, than love in my opinion, for each of you. Cut ties. If your daughter is attached, offer him an opportunity to visit once a week while you are there. If he chooses not to take that option, I promise your daughter will be fine. Kids are incredibly resilient.

I mentioned that to him before, especially when we were arguing a lot. He said that I was wrong and that he wouldn't be putting up with all of the arguing, dealing with my parents, and my daughter's father because our situation is convenient. We renew our lease in March and he said he wants us to work on things.

I don't see any positive to staying with the guy.

So you are letting him dictate your life?

Well, the general opinion on here is that you two have a lot of issues, one thing I haven't seen in any of your comments is how much you love him. Cut your losses, and his too. That's the last of my 2 cents.

People always seem to get this thought wrong...

The question isn't if should give up four years, its if you want to give up the next 10, 20 or 30.

Until the day you die, tomorrow is always the first day of the rest of your life.
