Hi. I am a 35 years old man and my partner is a 41 yr old woman. We have a 4 yr old son and have been together for 5 years. She keeps telling me she cannot stay with me and needs to be in a relationship with a woman. Back in 2015 when we first met she hinted that she liked women, too.
Based on solid evidence she has a trait of dishonesty in the past with me but, regardless, I had told her that I want a committed monogamous relationship and she said she was ok with it.
Despite, our relationship not working, she has lied to me on multiple occasions, and that she is saying she is gender fluid and cannot be with me, I cannot live without my son for an extended period of time on a regular basis and I do not want my 4-year-old to be hurt.
I really wish that my life can be normal, I don’t mind getting hurt. But my child is the one I worried about.
What should I do?
Here are what netizens think:
- You know it will never work like that. Coming from a broken home myself trust me when I tell you you’re better of separate. For both you and your child.
- “What can I do to minimise if not avoid my child being hurt by his mom wanting to be with a woman?” Uh, you sure this is about your son?
- Your son will get older and realise the situation and end up hating both of you for living a lie they were made to believe.
- Sometimes people don’t realise what is precious until its gone, start dating again
- This is going to be messy during the divorce
