Tees, I wish you, the ex and most importantly the little one's the best. I can't comment from your angle, but I can from the bairns angle. If possible, keep it clean between you two in front of the kids. They will always have a mother, and a father, please don't forget that - not that I expect you would as you seem like a top guy. All the best mate...
Nee bairns myself mate but I guarantee they are better having 2 separate living parents than growing up in a house where the love has gone. I was in a 6 year relationship and it was ****ing weird for a long while after, bit of its right it's right and you'll be sound, and the young uns will always be around. Chin up mate and get rattling them senoritas!
My parents "stayed together for the kids" but not really and it meant they were absent and when they weren't they took out their frustration on the kids. It was pretty ****. We wished they'd go their separate ways and find their own happiness. Think you're probably doing the best thing for the pair of you and more importantly for the boys.
Over 15 years with one. 2 kids. I ended up living and working in Thailand and they ended up living in France. Seems to have worked out best. Ps Tees. I was the same age as you are now. Lifes there mate, get out and grasp it. Good luck marra.
At the time of my divorce , I thought the world was going to end. Looking back now , it's been one of the best things that could have happened to me. There will be dark days ahead for you , but you will emerge stronger at the end (just like supporting SAFC).
All the best going forward mate. As you say, the kids are all that matters. I'm glad you've managed to deal with this amicably. Now go out there and slay some poon!
I had abit of a bomb shell Fri night so it might not go smooth afterall. Im trying to hold myself togeather for the boys though.
Stay strong. The boys are the only ones that matter. We will all support you (in our own way) through this.
always sad when relationships break up when there are kids about. Hope it all goes well for you and the family.
