Hello Dads
I have to break up with the mother of my 5 year old son this Friday.
I'm moving in with another woman (whom I've NOT had a seedy afair with) and I'm only moving a mile away.
It is happening, was just thinking you Dads who've been through it could offer me some advice on how to break the news to her?
Sensitive advice would be very welcome, I've not been cheating on her and its not a [censored] thing.

Hi There,
.
Firstly I have deleted your other topic as there wasn't as much info on the reasons as in this on.
.
I think no matter how much you tell your current partner that you didn't have an affair, she isn't going to believe you, it's human nature to think the worst and as you are leaving her to be with another woman, she is going to think that way, and I can fully understand why she would as I would have the same view if my partner said she was leaving to go and live with another man.
.
does your current partner have any idea that this is going to happen, have you been happy together or have there been signs that your relationship is breaking down?
.
If there hasn't it's going to come as a huge shock to your partner.
.
Personally I feel that if you are wanting to leave her, it shouldn't be for another woman, I think that will just hurt your current parnter so much and that is going to effect everything going forward.
.
Advice wise, I think you just need to talk with her Personally if it were me, I wouldn't move straight in with the other woman, I would find myself somewhere to live for 3-6 months, even if it was back at my parents.
