Question Posted Wednesday October 24 2007, 8:47 am
I was with a guy for a year. I met him when he came round to fix my taps as he's a plumber!! I thought it was fate that we met that way but I guess I was wrong. I have a little boy who is nearly 4. He took a liking to Paul and called him Daddy. (Big mistake I know). Around the 6 months stage things went wrong and we started to argue. I didn't like the way he spoke to my little boy sometimes. It was like he treated him like he was in the army or something!!!! To cut the story short he left four times over reasons I think aren't good enough to leave. We didn't fall out of love and neither cheated or hit! The last time he left I was asleep in my bed and I woke up to him with black bags packing his stuff. I went absoulutely mad and started throwing things at thim. He called the police so he could get his things but also told them I had assaulted him (whimp). He picked me up by my throat and threw me accross the floor holding my neck which left bruises and the policeman saw this. Anyway, we tried to give it a go a couple of weeks later with him not seeing my son but I wasn't happy and caused an arguement which made him run again. Why was it so easy for him to leave? Did he love me at all? He's changed his number!
Love doesn't behave the way the two of you behaved.
No one can answer those questions for you just be glad he is gone and be a bit more sensible next time.
Clearly, this was not a great judgment call on your part. Take it slower with guys in the future, you have a son to look out for. That is worth a bit of caution and certainly worth not 'giving it a try' with someone who didn't treat either of you well in the first place. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]

I can't tell you how glad I am you aren't with him any more and I'm probably speaking for everyone else on here, too.
He's worthless.
You don't deserve to be treated that way and your son definitely doesn't.
He left because he's a coward.
Who cares if he has changed his number. Don't get in contact with him again. Someone who physically harms their partner is bad news and if he's capable of it once, he will do it again and again. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
