I split up from my partner Marie a fortnight ago. Im 38, she's 31. I have a son who's recently been diagnosed with ADHD and can be a little bit of a handful at times! Marie who has no children says she is jealous when I give my son attention and jealous of the girl I had my son with and hates it when I have contact with her and when I have to go and pick my son up. I've been with Marie for 10 months. She's a School Teacher. The weekend before we split Marie booked the Wedding. She pushed for us to get engaged, although we had numerous arguments regarding going drinking around her ex, who tried to glass me over my head! Her ex came over one evening and sat himself down next to her and she just smiled and chatted to him! Fully aware of what he tried to do to me. I'm no angel and started arguments as I was stressed about medication my Son was on. I run a new business and was stressed about this too. I just feel shes never been there for me! She hasnt been in touch. Will she be in touch?

I'm sorry to hear about your son's illness.
It's okey for her to be jealous. It's understandable, BUT, honestly, no women should ever come between you and your son, and the one that does, is selfish. Your son needs you and it's your job to be there for him. She should understand that.
It looks like you have a lot going on in your life, and you are stressed out, as you said it. Maybe, you should just take some time out and focus on your life, your son, your new business...I honestly think she is not going to call you. I'm pretty sure, she is waiting for you to call her and apologies, which is something I don't think you should do.

Best of luck

She probably will be in touch.
I dont see this as being a good relationship.
If a relationship is to work, you need to have respect for each other and stand by each other. From what you have said, she doesnt seem to have done either.
I know it might be hard, but you have to put your son first at the minute. ADHD is all about attention. If you cant give your son all that he needs, it will only get worse, so having another person in your life who gets jealous if they arnt in the lime light could cause a major problem!
Your son needs positive attention around him. Punished for the negative and greatly awarded for the positve. He really doesnt need to see you stressed out and battling for what he will see, as your love!
You sound like you really like this woman. I dont want to say that you shouldnt, but I think your son should be your priority.

Sounds like you were both under a lot of stress. Are any of her feelings about your ex and the way you interact with your son valid? Family counseling for you and your son might be a good idea. Individual counseling for you to help you 'separate' a little from your ex.

If she doesn't get in touch, thank your lucky stars. Being a step-parent is hard and if she wasn't willing to work on the issues, there is no point in going back into the jealousy and chaos of a relationship with her.

Sorry you have to go through this.

You don't want her to be in touch. She is an attention whore. Who gets jealous over a man's relationship with his son?? Maybe what y'all had was important to you, but you have to see that it would never have worked out in the long run- you would have both been miserable. And if she does contact you, its probably because whatever attention she has been getting elsewhere has dwindled. Some people are just insecure like that. It doesn't mean she is a horrible person, just not the type of person you need in your life.

She probably will, but anybody who gets jealous of your child doesn't deserve to be with niether of you. I say call the wedding arrangements off and focus more on your business and your son. Relationships come and go, but family is forever. You should consider your feelings and put yourself first. So let her go with her ex, since she doesn't have enough respect to acknowledge the presence of you when he's around. So Good Luck and Take Care!

If she does get in touch it would only do your head in. Best forget about her my friend your time would be better spent looking after your son.

Try not to think of it any more just turn a new page I know it will be hard due to the level of events with the wedding plans and all but, phew, leave it be.

in my eyes any woman who is jelous of a child is not worth bothering with and i think u have enough problems on yr hands with yr son and just starting a new business.
u say u have only been with her for 10 months thats not long is it espcially for u to be getting married and her taking u drinking where her ex is whats she doing trying to get him jelous so he will take her back.

you and your son is better of with out this woman she sound jelous and childish (might be y she is a teacher) leave wel alone and get with some one who loves both u and yr son

You just gave 10 reasons why you should move on and forget about her. Reread your question as if it's written by someone else. You'll find the 10 reasons. Let her go.

Why do you want her to be in touch? Anyone who is jealous of your attention that you have to give to your child isn't worth the time of day. You've been blessed and don't even know it.
