Breakup with a child involved

I'm in a bit of constant stress. The mother of my child and I were together 6 years with a child that is 2 and a bit. She brought up the idea of breaking up and at the time it seemed fair, we were not communicating and life was getting in the way of us spending any time together. But after a few months of living apart it's a tonne of stress and I have not been able to move on. It's not getting easier. I just feel so lonely, I don't really have any friends outside of work. I'm very introverted and find it hard to communicate, but I really hate being alone! It's affecting every part of my life

Dear New Member~

Welcome to the forum, a good place to come as if you look around I'm sure you will find others who have faced similar situations.

 

Now that a few months have past both you and you ex wil have had time to expereince both the practical effects of separation, and more particularly the emotional ones, both  on her and your daughter

 

The reason you gave for the separation appeared to be you did not have enough time together, maybe you both did value that time and felt a lack.

 

Do you think it might be possible ot approach you ex and see if there is any chance of a reconciliation? It may be gradual and may perhaps mean counceling could make it go more smoothly

 

What do you think?
