I agree with EVA. take your power back. You may have to start over somewhere else. He does have to contribute to the support of his minor child. Don't allow him to walk away from that. It sounds like he still wants to be a single man, I say, let him. Don't ever try to hold a man who wants to leave, it isn't worth it and erodes your self respect. I'm older and I know this. If you keep giving him, just one more chance, you are allowing him to treat you badly. You are a beautiful, strong, woman, you will do fine. When A man is truly in love with you, he wants to be with you...a man told me that years ago, he was right.
