I`m 32,my gf is 20.we have a 3 month old girl together.We have been living together for the past year mostly at her mothers until she kicked us out.So for the past month I have been trying to get my trailer situated.She has been staying with me all this time but she keeps finding reasons to go back to her moms for a week at a time.

wanted her to move her doctors,and the babys doctors and all other stuff out here so everything isnt a 2 hour drive.She has refused.She just came back to my place after spending 12 days at her moms,and we have a big fight about this issue as she is still saving up for her project house 2 hours away from me.I figure shes living here that money would be better spend going in this house.

Monday morning ( I just went and got her Thursday) she tells me shes going home she hates my family.I basically say if you leave here your leaving me.Monday when I get home from work she tells me how shes got a dentist appointment Tuesday.So now she has a surprise valid excuses.And I`m totally in raged.So when I calm myself down I offer to get out of work early to take her as opposed to her plan of staying at her moms for 3 weeks.She refused to let me take her,and said she would cancel her appointment.Today I get home and all her stuff is gone except the computer I`m using now because she wanted to talk to me.(no phone till next week,I just started working when i moved back out here).I love her,and I love my baby girl,but this is too much for me to handle and I broke up with her.Am I wrong?

our last words .....

Her: i dont see why u needed me there for the 21 days id be gone./.

Me: and if i wont need you for 21 days why would i ever need you?

Her: wtf!

Her: fine if u think like that i dont want u!

Me: good

Me: now maybe you see my point

Me: and why i want to end it all

Her: no i dont?!

Her: i will just leave u alone!

Her: good bye.

Jason32477 agony aunt Because of your answers I opened a line of communication and we came to a compromise.(All my friends and family I talked to said I was doing the right thing, but I put more trust in the outside opinion.)I`ll pick her up this weekend and will try to find another place when we get caught up giving a rough time frame of around 2 months.When we do she will give hers up.And she is going to find a new baby doctor.I live close to my mom and my aunt`s houses.Both in sight of mine out in the country.There is only 1 other house around.Me and my mom are no longer on speaking terms because she don`t like my gf.I have been getting a lot of help from my aunt`s bf including him doing work on my house and letting me run power from his place.Been trying to get my power on for a while now and best guess is 2 weeks away.I just lack a foundation sticker and have someone doing that work,he was here today,might finish tomorrow.I don`t like the idea of giving up a place with no rent,and after all the money i`m just finishing pouring into it.But I can understand her point and would do anything with in reason to make this relationship work.

YouWish agony auntUnfortunately, this time it is the age difference. she's 20, you're 32. You're ready to settle down and build a future, and she's not even ready to leave her mom's house. She hates your family, and I'm thinking that since her mom kicked you out, things are kinda tense there too.

I don't know what to say, except stay involved in your little baby girl's life and hopefully one day the 20 year old will grow up and cut the apron strings someday.

cnith agony auntI'm amazed that a 30 something year old man is writing like a 13 yr old boy... Honestly, the IM thing doesn't impress me at all. But I'll put that aside a moment.

What does "I hate your family" mean? I thought you were living alone. Did you try couples counseling?

There's a reason she doesn't want to be there with you. What is it? She didn't tell you or you didn't hear/listen to her?

Try it again without fighting. Tell her what you told us. You want her and you want your baby with you as a family. What's it going to take for that to happen? Maybe she doesnt want to be that far away from her own family. Can you compromise? I think most things can be worked out. I hope for your baby's sake, it does.

But a word of advise... can you please drop the IM talk and speak like a grown up? I realise you're p o'd and hurt but regressing helps no one. Especially if your girl is young too. You two need to grow up. For the baby's sake.
