Charlotte â€“ yes it is common to feel jealously towards an exâ€™s new partner. You fear your child will like them more than you etc . But its something you cant let rule your feelings or your choices. The fact you have been thinking about all this for a long time shows you need to sit down and make some choices. Can you sit down and talk to him? Maybe he is feeling the same? Can you talk to a close friend? Whatever choice you do make will be the right one for you. And yes it hurts and is scary but that can be overcome and far better then a many months or years of being unhappy.

Hello there, just to say what a wonderful article you’ve wrote. It really has given me hope for the future, i have found myself suddenly a single mum with two very small children, on benefits for the first time etc. I was with their dad [ my fiance] for five years, and at first, the first few months it was incredibly scary. It wasn’t a mutual split, and i wouldn’t have ended it for anything. i had no intention of being without him, who i loved. But as time goes on, and the fact that the children are laughing, makes everday worthwhile and rewarding. Anyone out there who maybe scared of being a single mum; just look into your children’s eyes, and realise how important they are to you, and you to them. They will get you through. Life is short and you really can be happy. And i wish you the very best future, and to everyone else, keep smiling.
