A woman has been dumped by her boyfriend because of her kids – which he knew she had for the entirety of the two years they were together.

Posting on Mumsnet, the mum said she had been in a long-term relationship with her partner for two years and things seemed to be going well until they started talking about buying a house together. 

She said that her now ex-partner was all smiles when they first spoke about taking the relationship to the next level, and always told her he was committed and wanted a long future with her and her children. 

But just a couple of days after discussing mortgages and houses to buy, her ex-boyfriend came to her house and said he would move in with her in a heartbeat – but felt he will eventually resent her because of the freedom he is giving up by committing to her children.

The distraught girlfriend said his decision was completely out of the blue, and now, at 38, she is worried she will never meet someone she loves as much as she loved him.

“He was the love of my life and I felt so lucky to have met him after my ex before left me for a younger woman. He was kind, funny, helpful, and attractive and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better relationship.

“He always said he was committed and that he wanted a long-term future with me and my 2 children. Recently we started discussing mortgages and moving in together and he seemed happy and positive about it.

“Then two days ago he came round in tears saying that he couldn’t see a future with me and my children. He said he’d move in with me in a heartbeat but was worried he wouldn’t enjoy his loss of freedom. He said by moving in with me he was giving up his freedom and that it would cause resentment.

“It’s just so sudden and I feel so confused, hurt and let down. I’m 38 and worried I will never meet someone I love as much as him.”

Her post was flooded with messages of support, with some questioning just how serious her boyfriend was given that he knew she had children when they met. 

One user said: “He’s a man-child, feels s**t now but so much better before you became financially linked.”

Another said: “This is unfair, I’m very sorry for OP [original poster] but this is a much better outcome than him moving in, sharing a mortgage and then deciding he didn’t want to be a step-dad.”

Although, others felt that he made the right decision, and was fair to make it. 

A fourth user said: “Maybe it’s taken this long for him to realise the challenges of step parenting.

“It’s not easy and not a choice everyone wants to make. It’s best you know before you get any more entrenched.”
