Partner not respecting boundaries
I had a baby last year after my partner nagging to try for one. I also wanted children but he was very keen. Since having our little boy he's completely changed. All the boundaries put in place are lost and he just keeps hurting me and turning it back on me.
We set boundaries for no strip clubs, drugs, porn. I know everyone has different views about these topics but we agreed for them not to be involved in our relationship.
Last year he went on a stag do. Spent more than half the time in a strip club which offers more than just dancing as it says online-sex blow jobs etc, all whilst drinking and taking drugs so his inhibitions were lowered making it more likely for him to do something stupid. He's been watching porn whilst he's supposed to be looking after our son. And to top it off he is going on another stag do to Amsterdam in June and it will involve strippers again and whatever else that will be kept as a secret.
I can't do this anymore it's tearing me apart emotionally. He isn't the person I thought he was. I was aware of the stag do coming up, there's one locally and one away in Amsterdam. I explained and he knows how hurt I felt the last time because of what had happened but he goes defensive and tells me he can't enjoy with his friends and when I say I'll have to leave because he's breaking my trust and not respecting me he calls me controlling. I would be fine with him going to the local stag but I know that in Amsterdam it will largely involve strippers and whatever else that I don't really want to imagine.
I'm so upset and torn apart. I really thought he was everything I wanted in a partner but since having our little boy he's everything I don't want.
Am I right to leave if he decides to go? He's already made his mind up that he wants to go and I just feel like after last time when I was hurt he would have realised and cared about my feelings but that doesn't seem like the case. He just goes nasty and tells me that he can't enjoy and I'm controlling him.
