Hi all
I have posted a couple of messages on here before and I am hoping someone can relate to my worry and help.
I have been with my new partner nearly 2 years. She has 2 children and so do I. Recently, she asked for complete space as she does not know what she wants, who she is and whether she either was in love with me or is in love with me. She has also said that it does not feel 100% right.
I cannot hide my pain and I cannot help how I feel. I have fallen madly in love and this is hurting. I am unsure what the future may hold but I am struggle to cope. I will respect her decision and hope but welcome any advice.
I also have my children Xmas day and dependent on above, this may hinder things - I did previous post something on this however, does anybody recommend/know places to go on Xmas day to ensure my children have a super time. My breakup with my ex-wife was messy and since then I have lost a number of friends, therefore I also welcome how to find the drive and trust to make new friends but also on how to do this. Seem sad, but I have been looking over my shoulder for too long and need to stop running!
Thanks
It might be worth suggesting that the two of you go to relate to see if there is a way forward.
Thank you - been there with the Ex wife before we split and they were horrible
we have thought couple counselling but this early - is that right? should be honeymoon period so how do we get that back
Hello alf10,
Do you live with your partner?
Where Im going is do you have suitable accomodation for your children over Christmas.
In terms of where to go and what to do on Christmas day you could book a lunch some where and go out. Presents in the morning, lunch out and maybe a nice walk in a park or some museums may be open or you could visit family??
Regards,
Dave
