This is not how I pictured spending the New Year

My daughter's father and I just recently split, we were together for 17 months. It was my doing, at the time I felt it was for the better. But now I'm not so sure. I miss him, a lot. There was so many things that just weren't right in our relationship. I use to think I put every effort into trying to make things work, but now I feel like I just gave up. My family & friends hate him, so it's not the best idea to try to talk to them about it. I just want to cry all the time. I wasn't sure where to post this, but I just needed to get it out.

oh my gosh I am pretty much in the same situation just different length of time we were together and I am not at the missing him point yet and not sure if ill get there either.

I went through that with Cory. We broke up back in August, I ended it even though I was pregnant with his child. I just couldn't take it anymore. It wasn't that he was a bad person, he just got on my very last nerve. I couldn't stand being around him. I thought I had done my best but the relationship wasn't meant to be. My parents and siblings didn't sway one way or the other but my Aunts were convinced I did the right thing.

I started going out with friends and spending more time with my aunts. I moved out of the trailer we had lived in together and just got on with life. Everything was great at first, total freedom. But then the nights got lonely and I realized I did love him and I missed him. He had said some really hurtful things during our time apart but in the end it didn't matter. We worked things out 3 months later.

My family was still indifferent but my aunts and new friends stopped speaking to me. But I don't care. I am glad we are together. But I still do not regret the time we were apart. It helped me grow and to know how deeply in love with him I really was.

Best of luck to you.
