Question
hey,
my boyfriend and i have been dating for just over a year now. we have a 2 1/2 month old baby together. i don't know what to do i want to be with him for my daughter's sake but i just don't love him anymore and don't know how to end it with out things getting ugly!
really need your help!!
thanks~

Answer
the only thing you can do is to be honest with him. Tell him that you no longer want to be in a relationship with him, you don't really need to tell him you don't love him anymore. And tell him you still want him to be a part of your daughters life just not in a relationship with you anymore. Don't make the mistake of staying with someone for the sake of your child, that never works out and it'll just make things more complicated. Then try to arrange for when he can come see his daughter etc...

I wish you luck

I can answer questions about break ups, and how to move on..I've been through a few of them myself and have learned what to do and what not to do in order to heal, move on, or try to get someone back. No guarantees as each individual is different but I can do my best to help!!

Experience

I am a good listener and have helped friends get through break ups, I also have gone through a few myself and know how hard it is..if you just need to vent or need advice, feel free to ask
