I think you should book some time with a therapist and get out of this crazy cycle and into a healthier space for yourself and for your child.

How about stop dating criminals and expecting them to behave appropriately?

October of 2021 and we got back together in May of 2022

That's a long break.

I had completely forgot about the situation

NO, you didnt

Seems that you love the drama. Like you cant get enough of the disrespect and the lies. You just keep going back for more.

The cycle will continue with your child unfortunately.

The only person you should be angry at is yourself. He has shown his true colors for 5 years. YOU keep making the choice to stay with him, get back with him, believe him, trust him etc. WTF up. Stop blaming your situation on him. This is all your choice. However you child has no choice and this is what you are teaching them.

Girl…… you need to break this cycle. You have a child and this crazy on/off relationship you have with ex is just not healthy at all and your child is seeing all this. I am saying this as a mother myself. This person you claim to love is not healthy for you. He leads you on and showed he can’t be trusted. He is giving you all these signs not to let him be in your life. Ask yourself why are you letting him get in? Break it off and focus on you and your child.
