I’ve been in an almost 11 year relationship on and off with the father of my kids. He can’t hold jobs. He also isn’t an amazing stay at home dad. He loves the kids and can be parental, but I make the money, keep track of and pay the bills, get the kids ready in the morning and before bed, and keep track of everyone’s schedules. I have had a few nervous breakdowns over the years, a couple of suicide attempts. I’ve been in and out of hospitalization and therapy. I’ve been medicated. I’ve come a long way as a mother and in my professional life. But I’m not sure I love my boyfriend of eleven years/father of my children anymore. He is my best friend and I can’t imagine life without him, but he pulls me back and causes a lot of detriment to my mental health. I feel guilty staying with him and guilty leaving and afraid I can’t. I also find myself falling in love with a co-worker and I’m not sure if it’s real or if I’m just looking for a reason to leave.

Sounds like you’re both losers. Better stick with what you have, sister.
Sounds like a complete shit show. 2 nervous breakdowns and 2 suicide attempts? And you let a loser like that impregnate you… more than once?
If he only drags
You down he’s not worth staying with
And if he doesn’t bring anything real to the table but extra heartache and misery, cut that dude off
I think you and your boyfriend need to go on Dr. Phil. He’ll help you decide if the two of you should split up.
You are both a pair of pathetic losers that deserve each other. Get off your high horse bitch and get on your knees.
I understand how you feel, especially since the man you’re with feels like your best friend. Have you talked to him about all this? Is there a way you can go to counseling yourself or with your partner? Regardless, having an affair with your coworker could only lead to more heartbreak, and you don’t need the added stress in your life right now.
