Hi all
I came here to look for advice as I feel like I've no one in my own personal circle to ask without being judged..
I have been having thoughts for the past few months on and off whether or not to stay with my boyfriend. He has a son who is amazing and a smart boy.
My problem is ever since we started dating it has been a hell with the mother of the son.
Without making this a novel I've had to endure stalking, harassment and bullying. She's found and spoken to my mum behind my back, ive gotten messages from her and her friends to basically kms, her and her mother have called me racial and deragatory terms (I'm black so you can guess what I was called), I was on Bumble which is an app to make friends and I told my bf about it. They saw the profile, screenshotted it and sent it to their grouchat calling me a wh*** and said i was looking for threesomes and other situations that she has caused but you get the idea.
Now since then I've had to ask my mum to contact the mothers Mom (Grandma) to basically get my daughters name out their mouth. She apologised profusely and said it won't happen again and to be fair it has been quiet since and that happened in July.
My question is, is it worth to stay? The reason I haven't left is that I've never felt a love so strong for him and vice versa and because he knows the crap I've had to endure he truly treats me like a queen and I know inside ill never be able to experience again the love he gives me. We never fight or argue and he listens to me always. Our relationship in itself is perfect. Just his baggage...
Since the whole July incident (and other stuff happened, she threw her hands at him while holding son) my bf and the mother don't communicate. Only through the grandma which is working perfectly for everyone and I'm glad.
I know for now it's fine but eventually in the months/years to come they'll have to communicate and I know there's gonna be more BS i'll have to deal with so long as we're together but i'm asking should i just hold on or leave ? We are all young. I'm 22 in final year of college
I'm looking for advice or reassurance from anyone out there as I feel so lost and idk if I'm wasting my time being with him but I don't want to be alone again 😞
