She thinks I spend too much time with my daughter

[Popsicle]

I went over to see my daughter last night, and I was sitting on the couch when she walked over to me. Very gently she grabbed my face and just looked in my eyes, and touched my hair. Her mom is sitting there watching and the only thing she says is "you guys are so dorky together." I must not get how baby can be dorky... Or how showing affection is weird.

 

It hurt my feelings.

 

I'm confused. Who made that comment, your girlfriend, your baby or the mom?

The mother of my child said that. The other girl is still coming over, but not as often and we aren't together. Being alone is just too hard on me. I need someone to spend time with, and she really digs me outside of my baby.

 

Which also makes me feel horrible... My baby is my life, and I shouldn't hang around with someone who isn't into her, but I can't help it.

well then it sounds like things are fine. You get to see and talk to your baby as much as you want and still get to see the girl too. You don't have anything to complain about.

what are you doing - hint: therapy - to deal with your codependency, i.e. inability to be alone?

[Rude boy]

It's not an inability to be alone. It's that I'm tired of it. When my ex and I split I was alone until four months ago. It was lonely, and it was dark. I got clean, stepped up to a job that I've practically been raised into, and decided I wanted to be with someone.

 

I go to therapy every two weeks, and thank you for that, because you're the poster that convinced me I needed to go.
