Question - (21 October 2008) 5 Answers - (Newest, 21 October 2008)
A male South Africa age 41-50, *osti writes:

I'm 27, she's 23. We met six years ago and had a beautiful baby girl three years later while she was in her last year of high school. A year later we split up because of differences and infedelity on both our parts. The fight was so huge that both our parents got involved. We agreed that I would stay with the baby while she finished school and start a career as I was already working. We've been apart for over 2 years and in other relationships but the problem is that we still find ourselves missing each other dearly to the point were we actually end up making love at times. I'm considering breaking off the relationship I'm currently in for her. The problem is that I don't know if I can trust her based on our past. I don't now what to do, please halp?

I think you owe it to yourself and the mother of your child to give it another try if you both still have strong feelings for each other. It would not be fair on any other partners if you get involved with them in a serious relationship but deep in your heart you are still in love with the mother of your child.

Well she may be amazing, so don't you think she deserves someone who will love her and recognise that?

If you heart lies elsewhere then you have to follow it.

Good Luck!! xx

Wosti is verified as being by the original poster of the question

But what about the woman I'm with currently? She's a good woman possibly every man dreams of, unfortunately I don't feel the same passion compared to the mother of my child.

You were just teenagers last time and probably not anywhere near ready for a serious relationship, let alone a kid.

You've both grown up a lot since then so why not give it a try once you are both single?

As long as you agree to take it slowly and be completely honest with the other person it should be ok. The aim is that if you do break up again then you can stay friends for the sake of your child.

Good Luck!! xx

You are not babies anymore. You have a child together. I think you both need to talk. Discuss the future.If you are both willing to put the past behind you and are committed to built a future for yourselves and your child, then I think you should go for counseling. I also think it will be a great support if you ask the parents on both sides to give you there blessing and assistance.
