Sorry ro hear. Is there still any hope? Did she move out/break up?
Or just does not want to be engaged?
Too bad you guys did not get a chance to have fun as a couple before being parents.having a child is a big game changer, and your girl is having a hard time coping with it.
With school, work, childcare, where did you find time just for you guys? Not all women know how to jump in and being a mom.
Are there other dynamics in your relationship? Issues with trust, outside meddling, money, not enough down time for her?
If its money, look for better pay.
Outside meddling, nip it in the butt,
Trust, without trust, there is no respect.
Down time, try to make life easier for her.
Her medication might be off as well, along with the added monthly blues.
I'm sorry you're going through this, OP. Take some time to grieve the loss of the relationship, and work out a plan moving forward. Do you have a support system? Family nearby? It's going to be difficult at first, but once you make the first initial steps, you'll see the light at the end of the tunnel. Ditto Stan and Griffis. Try to keep things amicable between you two. Bad blood only makes the situation worse where even young toddlers will pickup on unhealthy co-parenting dynamics. She probably does need help, and perhaps, for your daughter's sake, you can continue encouraging your ex to seek help.
I appreciate the response. Yes, we are keeping things peaceful. We plan on living together for a few months, until the lease is up.
If she has diagnosed depression, is off her meds or won't seek to be revaluated and is drinking too much, why would you just take the attitude that she'll 'take the kid' and not seek custody yourself?
Get a good attorney that is knowledgeable about custody issues NOW! Make sure your finances are separate. She may have met someone else, and is now an adversary.
Lawyer up and establish cold custody. Make your daughter the priority. Take time to work through what you've been through and what you're feeling. When dealing with the ex, be polite, be professional and be civil.
I cried the first couple days. Not so much for my failed relationship but because I know she will take our daughter. I'll miss out on all these days I love, waking up and seeing my daughter each and every morning. Also, what is MGTOW?
You have the same parental rights to custody. What is stopping you from exercising that privilege?
I must live under a rock...not familiar with both having engagement rings.
Sorry that she chose that upheaval to go chasing this elusive happiness bug. Her unhappiness lays within....
My son had an engagement ring. I thought it was odd too, but I guess that is how it is done now.
