Can’t believe I almost married him...

My boyfriend of almost 5 years and I just split up a couple of days ago. We have a 9 month old which was planned. My son and I have been staying at my moms house since the break up. Let me just start by saying how much of a worthless father and partner this guy is. He has lied to me our entire relationship, cheated on me, and emotionally abused me. We were supposed to get married in September but I called it off a week before because I found his female co workers number saved under a guys name. A few weeks prior to that I found coke in his wallet. I had enough. I told him we needed to go to counseling to fix our problems. I will admit I would hit him when we fought because I was so angry and fed up. I could make a list of things he did. A few months ago he took a job that is an hour away from where we live and only saw our baby and I about and hour a day. On his days off he would work on his car or watch YouTube videos all day. He doesn’t change diapers unless I ask him too and even then he complains. Mind you, I am a full time student and work part time. I breastfeed and rush back and forth between classes and work to feed our LO. I make WAY less than he does yet we still go halfers on everything we buy. Fast forward to this week we decide we aren’t happy anymore and separate. I’m trying to be mature about this whole situation for the sake of our son and because he sees the way we act with each other . He hadn’t asked to see our son in 2 days (one of them being his day off) and chose to work on his car. Instead, he texted and asked when I was going to take our baby by his PARENTS house because THEY wanted to see him. I took him. Last night he texted to ask if he could see his son (it was 9:30pm) and I didn’t respond because we were in bed. Today he asked to see him tonight and he brought up getting a lawyer(he’s illegal) if I didn’t let him see his son. We continued discussing tonight and this was his response.

So after he threatened me with a lawyer and I say we should go to an attorney, he FREAKED. I don’t even understand.. and he thinks he doesn’t have to pay child support because we aren’t married, Hahahahaha 😂

I just need to vent 😤
