Dear MizzB
What makes my dad, or any woman’s partner, not want to come home to his wife at the end of the day?
Concerned
Dear Concerned,
People in relationships have disagreements. Many things lead to one not wanting to go home.
It is difficult to understand what is going on between your mom and dad. Please know that whatever is going on is not your fault!
Tell your parents openly how you feel. Give them the chance to explain themselves and their situation.
Jumping to conclusions is misleading and may give you the wrong impression of your dad. It may affect how you see him, without all the facts.
Family counselling will also help.
Dear MizzB
I broke up with the mother of my daughter five months ago. I ended the relationship because she never had enough time for me, but later on I realised that I really loved her and I couldn’t move on.
She has not responded to the numerous apologies I’ve made to her. This situation is killing me, as I have never been in love like this before.
My problem is that I have never proposed to another girl since I broke up with her. Is this normal? How can I move on? What will happen to my relationship with my daughter?
In Love
Dear In Love
Breaking up with someone you love is never easy, as it involves feelings and emotional attachments you both have with each other. Relationships last when both parties are willing to compromise.
Things don’t always turn out the way we hoped they would. Therefore, it is necessary to know when it is time to let go.
Every child deserves to have a relationship with their father, regardless of whether the parents are together or not.
Share your feelings with your ex-girlfriend and see where it takes you. If she is not open to the idea, then you need to consider letting go and allowing yourself time to heal.
