Hi, oh god, i'm in a bad situation here.

I'm 23. I have a 4 month old son, and a partner of 2 years. We live together. I have been chatting to someone else online for about 12 months now. This other guy wants to meet me. I like him alot, he wants me to leave my current partner to be with him.

I'm not sure if he just wants sex, or a real relationship though ? We only talk over the phone, we want to meet up. I feel guilty because I said my partner and I had intially broken up. Which isn't true I guess. But I'm trapped in a loveless relationship. What the heck should I do now ?

Do I go for it, and meet the guy offline ( to see what might happen ) , or stay in an unhappy relationship for the sake of my son ?

I think you should meet him and see what his intentions are if they are good. Leave the loveless relationship.

It will benefit your son if your happy

Best of luck

i am the same age as you, have child from a relationship i was in for 6yrs(4yrs of which were loveless,and only stayed because i didnt think i could do it on my own and for the sake of my child). how wrong was i, leave your partner ASAP, its easier than you think. i asked my partner to leave, he went and from that day on (16months ago), i havent regreted it once... concentrate on leaving your current partner. once thats done it paths the way for your new love intrest on the internet. xx

i dont think its a good idea to stay in an unhappy relationship just because of your son because thats will be as bad for him as his parents being split up. he doesnt want to grow up with his parents arguing all th tym and not loving each other. i do think tho that you should finish your boyfriend first before you go ahead with everything.

I personally feel that before you meet the new guy you should end your loveless relationship. This way you will be free and and single and you wont hurt anybody by commiting adultery. If then the new guy does want a relationship you can work from there without feeling you still have other ties.
