Torn by love - What should I do ?

Keep the new guy.

At least if later the new guy does not work out you can always get back with the ex.

You can't if you do it the other way around.

Cut the ex out of your life he had the chance to give you the respect you deserved. It is too late for the ex now. Move on.

Ask yourself this: Would you want your girl to date a man in 20 years from now that treated you how your ex did, or would you rather she date a guy like your new one?

Only date a man that you would be proud for your daughter in the future if she chose a man of similar character.

Think of your kid. She is watching and learns what men to get involved with by your example.

Wow! sounds quite complex..

Well .. in all this description of yours theres hardly been any mention about what might be best for your daughter?

can this new guy be a good father? should you not consider your daughter's future?

Or could your husband be a better father?

If a person apologizes for something he had done to hurt someone then you should seriously try considering it and in your case your husband even promises to get psychiatric aid! what could possibly be stupid about considering his request? rather i'd say its something divine to forgive someone and decide to keep all that behind and move on..

and since it has been a marriage of almost 5 years i reckon you should rather think of the possibility of forgiving your husband and moving on looking towards a better future..

this new guy might give you all the pleasure you need but he might not be there when you really need him!

Good Luck !

Don't take your husband back. all you will ever get are false promises. make him get anger management and other forms of treatment if he ever wants to see your daughter, but not for the sake of getting back together.

As for the new guy, i think you should step back from that until you are ready to be fully in a relationship. It will be easier on the both of you.
