I am posting this topic to receive as much relationship advice as I can. I have been involved with a man for 6 months now, he was an ex cop but left the force in order to take care of his child full time & I had taken on the immediate role of an unofficial step mum position to his 5… year old son. His son is a lot to handle, he demands constant attention if not from his father than everyone else around him.
Whilst I understand young children may be like this, the man who was my partner has recently walked out on me just yesterday. He packed all their belongings & left. All because I asked him to show me some form of affection. I felt neglected as though I was non existent. I do not think a man who claims he loves a woman should make her feel like she would have to compete with a young child for his attention.
I am not jealous of his child, nor would I ever expect him to ignore his child for me, as I know he would be his priority, I simply hoped he would hear my cry & see to my needs as well. He clearly does not know how to balance a girl friend in his life with his son, so I do not know what I am supposed to say to him to help him realize that women need to feel special also & let him know how he can go about dividing his attention between two people.

Even if he’s your own child, there’re still problems between your boyfriend and you. When you’re in love, you still need to be smart. 6 months are not too long. Learn to love someone else who deserves your love.
