It has been over a month now, She moved back home with her parents and gave me my engagement ring back. Our two year old daughter is caught in the middle. We are both 25

I'm not sure what to do at this point. I'm so confused. I had made many mistakes along the way and so has she, I have done a lot of soul searching and relized where I had wronged her and our relationship, I was trying to control her behavior, I didn't like the fact that she wanted to spend time with her ex-boyfriend who she called a "friend" I didn't like the fact that she still wanted to get all done up and go out with her girlfriends at the bar while our relationship was going down the tubes and I made her feel guilty for both of these things. It seemed to me like she was not commiting to our relationship and her priorities where in other places.

I have wrote her a letter telling her about the things that I am willing to do different in the relationship but she doesn't show any interest in reuniting. When an issue comes comes up about our schedule for seeing our daughter she threatens me by saying she's just going to take her from me and I'll only get to see her a fews days a month.

I want things to work out between us and I am willing to give her time to figure things out for herself but what sould i really be doing? Is this something that she will eventually come aroud to or is this over and is my family gone forever?

She has been spending time with another man and from what I can gather it is not that serious yet but by her doing this does that mean she is through with me? I am just to close to see things straight I think and I need some outside help to give me some clairty, please advise. Thanks.

Sorry to hear that bro, my wife of 5 years left me 2 weeks ago and I know how you feel. If W changes her mind about you she's still not what you deserve. You might get her back and then one day she would be unfaithful again... then you'll have to deal with the fear of her leaving over and over again. You need a stable and strong person. Yes; we all have feelings but sometimes you have to sacrifice for the greater good. Don't let this situation get you down bro, you are loyal and faithful; your daughter will understand. You're not alone, god is by your side and believe it or not god will never leave you.
For now focus on yourself and your daughter. There are plenty of beautiful women who will love to join your little family <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Well, I would talk to a lawyer about your rights when it comes to seeing your own child, for one thing. She can threaten you, but that doesn't mean that is how things will be.

Personally, I don't think you are out of line being upset with her seeing her ex boyfriend. So, a painful question. Are you absolutely sure you are this child's father?

Why did you not marry her before now?

We didn't marry because she didn't want to marry. I had a hard time convincing her to even move in with me so we could raise our child together.
