[urlovebug_83]

[color=blue][/color]This began about 2 1/2 months ago...really but you could say its been boiling down to this for a while...i've been married for 2 years..when i was 19..i got married because i was pregnant,,not because of love which even at the time i knew that would be a mistake, however it happened. too late to take it back now. my husband has been abusive to me, he hasn't beat me but he's slapped me and kicked me got knives and me and hit me with belts and phone cords. he never plays with my 22 month old little girl...there was this guy who is a neighbor whom i saw outside with his nieces and nephews and he was playing with them and thats what i wanted for my daughter. well me and my husband split up i thought for good i finally got the nerve to get a restraining order on him,,,well when we went to court he got my baby every other weekend, and when it came down to her leaving me on the weekend i had to let him come home...i couldn't stay without her one night. well during the 3 weeks we were split up i was at one of my friends house and her son came there and thats the one i saw in the yard playing with the kids....well he flirted with me, and he told me over and over that i was beautiful. well that night we kissed and we've been talking every since, i've been seeing him now for over 2 months...we have not had sex so i know that's not all that he wants from me, he is great with my daughter and he loves both of us he honestly does, and i love him, i do not love my husband anymore, but i can't stand to lose my daughter what do i do...how can i give up on the one person who i love the most...i've never felt that way about anyone.

This is not a time to be thinking about your new love.

 

You should be thinking about your safety & the safety of your daughter.

 

Was he granted unsupervised custody?

 

You should seek legal advice & divorce this abusive husband.

 

Then you can start thinking about a new relationship.
