I have been with my fiancé for over 2 years. Being recently divorced it took sometime for me to trust my heart especially being the mom of two boys. Last January I finally accepted his proposal after taking a full year to admit I had fallen in love with him. Well, last night he did something that made me doubt my decision. Last night he said that if I didn't give him the money to get his bike out of hock he might as well leave. I asked him if that meant he would throw away our relationship of over 2 years because of money. What he said next blew my mind; he said I would get over it. Later that night he apologized and said he regretted saying it, but the heartbreak has already been done. My question is should I forgive him and pick up where our relationship was or should I make him think and take our relationship back a few steps? Please help. I am at a crossroads here and what is worse is that he is the only daddy my three year old knows and my baby loves him too. -Engaged With Doubts
Dear Engaged With Doubts,
No decision to stay with a partner should ever be made based on whether your kid's would be upset if you parted ways. Yes, it's tough on them, but it's even tougher growing up in a home full of resentment and anger. If you need to make this decision, leave the kid factor out it. This has to be based on your feelings and viewpoints only. Now, as to whether he was just blowing off steam or really meant what he said; only you could tell. If this is the first time in two years, chances are he was just upset and needed to vent. A good heart-to-heart about the ways to release his anger or frustration should handle the problem. Honestly, you can't throw in the towel over one argument or outburst. If this is a habitual problem, then you already know
