Always Answer, but never ask....here it goes. (9 year, 2 kids- relationship)?
So, the past 9 years has been very up and down to say the least. First started off very innocent...i was 17 and so was he. I wasnt allowed to start dating till i was 16, and didnt...wouldn't even talk to a guy because i knew it would led me to want to date. But, after turning 16 and starting to go out and meet people, i met my boyfriend Bryan. He was working at a bowling alley and i was going there with my mom. He had a gf, so i didnt say anything...expect to a couple of my friends. Well after he broke up with her...word got around..and we started dating. He was friends with a group of guys that werent all that great. Drugs, Partys...and just teenage troublemakers. Things went good for a while. I would go places with him...even though i mostly just sat there with his friends a hung out. After a while...he would invite me less...and i started to sell my friends out more and more. I wouldnt want to leave my house...thinking he would come by (he would call sometimes and ask if he could come by) and i would never want to leave because i didnt want to miss that chance. You have to understand, i come from a very loving family...they raised me well, was never a trouble maker ever. I was ALWAYS taught and believed...you treat a person the way you would want to be treated. I seriously live by that...even today. Well, after weekends at home and never really going out with him too much...i started to check his phone (bad i know..) but i started to see texts from girls...and started to be my own Private Investigator. I was good, lol. I found out he would lie to me all the time. (side note...we were each others first...about 7 months into the relationship) I would see his car parked infront of girls houses...everything. I confronted him when i would have proof he did something. Then, he said we need a "break" one day...no reasoning was givin to me. Then...about a week later he comes over, says he needs to tell me something..he cheated, he had SEX with another girl. But he knows it was a mistake and wanted to work things out. I FORGAVE him (??? i know!!!!!) Well, he would still talk to other girls..flirt through text...and there were always girls around his hoe of friends (The guys) and i knew he had easy access to girls at any time. I feel thats why i was never invited. Fast forward...we finally reached a point in our realtionship one night..he came to my house (he would sleep there most of the time...but come in at 4am or some crazy hour)..he was on some kind of pills and says to me that he has done something that i would not forgive him for and that he should just move to his moms...but he was soo ****** up i couldnt get him to finish. He passed out and i was left sitting there thinking of this **** all night. So in the morning i woke him up and he couldnt believe he said that to me and said again that he was just going to move to his moms...and that we should just stop the relationship. He was crying and so was i...it was so crazy. We worked it out..and stayed together...that day he confessed to everything bad he had did in our relationship and we started over. Years went by and i got pregnant. We moved out of my moms and in with his sister and her fiance and child. Bad idea, but on with the story. We had our son in Oct 05'. The day he was born he was brough to the NICU because he stopped breathing. 3 days later we found out that he had Down Syndrome and his heart needed reconstructing. In Nov 05 he had open heart surgery. This was so hard for me...im crying thinking about it..but he was my rock. I couldnt imagine going through that with someone else. We still had problem, kids bring stress and we were never really great anyways. He was my first and only love. Then in November 2007 we had our baby girl. This pregnancy was difficult for me, i had to go to alot more dr appts for testing to make sure i dont have another child with downs. She is thankfully a healthy baby girl and learning so fast. But, we are just always back and forth. We have seemed to just lose all respect for one another. We fight, he says mean, mean things to me..and its just hard. We are two different people...raised two different ways. His interests are WAY different then mine. We dont like the same things..mostly. I decided in November of 2008 that i was going to go to my moms and we were going to see what happens...well by Decemebr 31s i was back living in the house. It was hard living with my mom again. And i wanted us to work...things were going ok. Now here we are September 09 and i have lived in my own place for 2 months. I moved out of the house and am renting a 2 bedroom place for me and the kids (i have them one week and then he has them one week...back and forth they go.) Its hard, i never wanted to see this for us or our kids. I love him, im so comfortable with him, but i dont know what to do anymore. I dont blame him for all the things in the past...i forgave him and we dont really bring it up. I moved out because we cant keep going

You didn't ask a question, so I'm going to assume that you just wanted to get all of this off of your chest.
I would like to give you some advice; Now that you know what you know, LEAVE HIM ALONE!!!!! Trust me, you can do badly all by yourself, you don't need a man pulling you down and wrecking your self esteem. Be the best mother and woman that you can be and that will be the best revenge.

The fact is that you married too young emotionally and that is telling now. The best thing you can do is to get some counseling together to see if you can have a good marriage or if you have to settle for being friends sharing children. It is hard to lose a first love but as someone once said, a first marriage ending in divorce is a success if it leads to a second marriage which does not. Good Luck to you!!

You say you come from healthy loving family and yet, you were naive enough to miss all the warning signs that this guy is simply no good. Trust me, if you were a healthy minded girl you would have seen this a long time ago and would have dumped him. Instead, you continued to forgive him and forgive him and forgive him and then even after all of this you had children with this jerk. Hun you are not being very loving to yourself. You have to take off the blinders and realize that you have insecurity issues. Then get into therapy to sort it all out. From day one this guy proved to be unworthy and you continue to make excuses for him. My advice, is stop having children with him, get an college education, because one day he will be gone and you will be there all alone to raise 2 precious babies who depend on you. Get all the love and support from family members to leave this guy, he is not good for you and has not ever been good for you. Good luck to you!

This is just what happens when "kids" get together, have children, & are just too young themselves for responsibilities. I can say this because the SAME thing happened to me when I got married far too young, had two children w/in 2 yrs. to have my marriage last 4 yrs. I would listen to NO ONE & of course did things MY way. I was so wrong & it ended up the children are ALWAYS the ones who suffer the most. I am being honest, only for YOUR sake. I don't see a bright future w/him, nothing that is going to last or be a solid home type life for your children. I'd just suggest you let him go his own way, as he's going to do it regardless. See if you can get out to be able to meet someone decent & someone who would love you for you & also your children. You DO deserve happiness in your life. You're far too young to go this way the rest of your life. There IS someone out there who is just rite for you, you just have not met him yet. Give yourself time, but I'd completely let go of the idea of ending up w/him in a good solid home relationship. I just do not see it happening. KNOW that some day you WILL meet the rite person for you. Hold on to that. Time & patience has a way of working things out. Just give yourself time for the rite person to come along & you'll finally have the happiness you've dreamed of...Take care, honey...:)

You two pracitically "grew up" together, and CERTAINLY all you two have experienced together, has bonded you for a lifetime.
I was saddened to read what you wrote of your dear son. God bless his little soul always......
You two can make it work, and live a lifetime together. IF you both want it.
NOTHING is impossible.
Look at ALL you two have survived together.
Life breaks all of us. In different ways, in different places.
It is when we heal, we get stronger in the broken places.
Good luck to you guys!

after all of that you still didn't ask a question. what exactly do you want to know? how to work it out? you have been working on it for 9 years and it's not working. move on. relationships are work but not CONSTANT hard work. find someone that is more like you and won't cheat on you and someone you can trust.
