Big boy agony auntNo you’re not put inside a box. Is just all in your head, it’s his daughter he can’t force her to do what he wants. I could sort of understand where he is coming from. Like you said you don’t want to lose your man, don’t put any pressure on him, relax all you can do is just be nice to him. He cares for you, from what you say, you spend time with your kids, just relax things will work out, be happy to be alive, don’t chase him away, because any thing you do out side this could result in a break up. Like you said you spoke to him, play it cool see where he is going, it’s your decision to act any way you feel. All I’m saying is that I know it has not been easy for you but things will get better just believe in it. Within time things will change. When he is away enjoy your company with just you and your kids even play with them or do something together.
