Faith2009,

I do understand how difficult times can be with S.O.'s ~ I have been on a similar road myself, with my ex-husband. But, I've got to warn you, things always become more complicated when we have kids. A LOT more complicated!

Rather than giving up out of frustration, and differing opinions on life, I encourage you to seek therapy with your boyfriend. Hopefully, you'll gain a better understanding of one another ~ and find the necessary determination to work through your troubles together, and become a stronger couple.

Maybe the two of you should also consider joini8ng a parenting group ~ so that you're both coming at things from the same perspective, and making things more secure for your children.

I wish you and your family the best!
