peacehippy Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I recently posted my entire story earlier so I dont feel like explaining it but long story short my ex and I broke up about 4 days ago, we decided to keep our distance for a good week to get a real break before trying to figure out what to do about our house and dog, etc. Unfortunately NC is not an option because we have a 4month old daughter. My dilema though is how to act when I drop her off or see him at our mutual friends graduation parties? I said my peace already and basically have the upper hand but its hard seeing him and not falling apart. I am strong when I don't see and wish I could go NC but when I see him its like I have no control over what I say any advice would be well appreciated......... Link to comment
PushingDaisies Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Stay strong or youll have us to deal with!!! Keep conversation to a minimum and only about your daughter. Say you have to rush off or you need to return a call, anything that means you wont have to stay longer than is necessary. And break down when you are out. I had to work with my ex, and I used to break down on the way home. It was horrible. So I know what its like, in a way. And I know it is possible to keep it together. Im not the strongest person in the world, and if I can do it, you can do it! Then come here and vent! Link to comment

PushingDaisies Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 I really sympathise with you as I know how hard it is to have to face your partner. Just remember that you are strong and beautiful and can get through this. It will get better Link to comment
thejigsup Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 You have a daughter who will live her life by the example you set. Act accordingly. Always, always show class around her father, even if it kills you. It's for her sake, not yours. Link to comment
peacehippy Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 of course, he will always be welcome in her life, he is a great father just not that great of a boyfriend right now. I am not the type to cause a big scene and we both agree that we never want to fight in front of her ,but i guess when I see him I just have to be strong, at least till I leave.............I also have to work on holding my tongue and go with the flow......I know it will get easier its just so weird having a best friend and companion in your life and then a week later acting like complete strangers with this amazing baby holding us together.
