I [32M] with my GF [34F] of one year might have to fight one another for custody of our 2 month old. What do I do?

Hi there!

Ok...many people go through this.

First of all, you need more money. You will have to try and make that happen.

You can't force your SO to work.

It's clear her vision is entirely different to yours and that's a very difficult thing to make work if you are a couple.

You have to do the things you can do and change the things you can to make more money.

You cannot blame her for this - there already is resentment.

What can I say? It is the time for compromises and decisions.

You are in a difficult situation but you cannot spend your time blaming her.

I think you are alone and frustrated and scared of loosing your baby and many other things.

All I can say is that you have to cut it thinking that if only she were doing this or that everything would be ok.

First of all it's not true. Secondly it is not a space that you can change.

You have to work on what you can do, and that is you. You can do you.

Let her know everything that going on with you.
