Can't live with her, can't live without her. 😪

My mom is awesome. I went from having a volatile relationship with her as a teen to having a real friendship with her now. I owe a lot of who I am to her ...not even sure how she did it all over the years. The look on her face when I showed up as a surprise yesterday was priceless. 💕🌟

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there.

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together. However he also revealed he started seeing someone casually 4 weeks ago and technically is cheating on her by meeting me for coffee and to discuss this. I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out

Seeking insights & any advice. F🐟 , late 20’s, never married, no kids; in a relationship with a divorced dad of 2, things are getting serious. So much that’s new for me & I’m wondering if anyone has been through something similar & how they navigated taking that serious next step? What things did you discuss (I’m thinking finances, family dynamics, involvement with kids, premarital counseling etc). It’s also an interracial relationship. I mostly worry about his kids, want them to be okay!

Has anyone been through a situation that you were in a terrible relationship ( stress,anger, fights, swears, physical abuse, ego clashes) and how did you resolve it? Some might have worked on and stayed in the relationship and some might have broken up. I am looking for answers from both sides. How did you stay/work on it and how did you break up and move on? Me and my partner have strong feelings for eachother and are almost inseparable despite going through so much.
