So after a 3 years relationship and my wonderful baby boy I’ve had to call it quits. As all relationships it started out great but the honeymoon stage quickly faded. I became pregnant and that is when the troubles started. It was small at first but it soon grew. First it was that there was not enough money, my family was a problem, and to top it all off he would go off with his friends most nights until who knows what time of the night and think it was ok. I was about 6 months pregnant when I found out he cheated on me and he had the audacity to say he didn’t love her, it was just to scratch an itch.

After that my trust for him was gone. His exact words were he would change for the better and because I was thinking of my son I decided to give him a chance. Things seemed to change but then it started going downhill. I was getting to a point where I was getting up there in age and wanted to have another child. Well I became pregnant and was so happy. Seemed I was the only one of us two who was. Things just collapsed soon after.

I said to myself why am I punishing myself with this man when I can do for myself? Why punish my kids at the same time? I said enough! And told him to leave my house. I threw him out and been so happy since he has been gone. I have my family for support and have never regretted my decision.

So ladies I will say this. When you are in a situation where you have to cover for him all the time, he doesn’t seem to be pulling his weight or even care enough for you or your children to try and be a better man; it’s time to let go. You will be much better once he is gone. It will be rough soon after but you can do it. Think of yourself and your kids. That’s all the strength you will need to move forward.
