jak's mom...any updates?
Did you pull the plug?
Re: jak's mom...any updates?
I did pull the plug finally and have not heard anything else from him since. Because of this I decided to not mention anything about the ring. He never asked for it back but I think think it was more of a guilt trip to get me to stay. From what I dealt with before when trying to break things off, he'll use it as an excuse to keep talking and drag this out.
I have also made plans to go out for some fun. Feb 24th my dad scored tickets to a monster truck show and is taking my son. He also agreed to just keep him overnight when they return. So I'm headed out with my BFF and having a girls night. It's quite funny because she is doing weight watchers so I figured she had to cut out the booze. She is going to save some points and drink diet coke n rum just for me! She's such a great friend!
I almost forgot. He wanted to stay friends but I told him that we can't. We were suppose to start from friends to see where this could go and work on the problems. It was my fault for not placing boundaries and he kept acting as if we were all fixed and as a relationship. He was really upset and said I was kicking him out of my life but I told him that we just can't be friends.
I also stated that I'm not emotionally stable to have a relationship. I need to work on my issues while being by myself. If i'm not happy and emotionally stable neither is my child. Happy mom equals happy baby. I have to place my health first regardless if Z gets hurt or not.
I don't post very often, but I just have to say - good for you! I know you've struggled with this decision and I'm glad to see you've become resolute.
As for this:
I hope your bags were packed for that guilt trip. Good Lord. The more you post about him, the more it sounds like Z has quite a bit of growing up to do.
Congrats! That is awesome about your girls weekend!!!
When I was thinking about breaking up with my XBF, I booked a girls weekend too. It helps to have something to look forward too!
It was a lot to take but I just stood my ground and kept saying my health is more important. My stress levels have been so high that my hair is falling out. My mom just lost her hair to her chemo so it's been a bit of a joke that i'm having sympathy pains kinda like men do when their wife is pregnant.
