Nygga! I've done the same thing!My daughter’s mother and I were together for three years. We built a life....we had a child, plans to get married this fall, and what I thought was a solid foundation. But in June, everything changed. She came out to me and told me she’s been struggling with her sexuality for a long time... something she’d kept buried because of her religious upbringing and the fear of judgment from her family. As for why she finally decided to come out now, I can only guess. Maybe it took her years to accept herself, or the weight of hiding such a big part of who she is became too heavy. Maybe she reached a point where she needed to be honest with me out of respect
When she told me, I didn’t know how to process it. I packed up and left. Not out of hate... but out of shock, confusion, and heartbreak.
It’s hard not to turn inward and wonder, What did I lack? Was I not enough? I keep thinking about how I fell in love with someone who, in the end, wasn’t fully herself. And maybe she couldn’t be.... not with her background, not with the pressure she was under. But that doesn’t make it hurt any less. She was my best friend. My ride or die. The one I planned to spend forever with. Now I look back and question everything. It feels like the life we were building wasn’t as real as I believed it was.
Am I wrong for feeling resentful? I don’t know. I don’t fully understand the complexities of struggling with one’s sexuality. I don’t know what it’s like to live in fear of your truth. But I do know what it’s like to love someone completely, only to find out they were carrying something they couldn’t share with you and now because of all this, my daughter has to grow up in two different homes.
Since it happened, I’ve found myself spiraling into a huge porn addiction... especially lesbian porn, where I imagine women doing things to her. I didn’t understand why at first. But now I see it... it’s a way for my mind to rewrite the story. In those fantasies, its all bout control. In real life, I feel powerless.. like I couldn’t change what was happening. But in my sick fantasies, I get to shape the story, to feel some sense of power or involvement, even if it’s complicated or painful. This situation really messed up![]()
Shyt happens, the best thing for a breakup is to focus on what you can control , if you got a hobby jump into it, try a new one , exercise will help you boost your confidence I would recommend to stay away from low vibrational activity like watching porn you're at a weak point emotionally and Evil creeps in in those moments of weakness obviously focus on your Kid be there for her. Enjoy your time with your new hobbies and new pussc will find it's way to you. Your ex with time will realize her mistake Lesbian relationships are violent as fukk so teach your kid to be open with you and to say something if they see something.

Let me fist say that I'm sorry that you have to deal with this. At least she was honest with you and told you before you found out that she cheated on you with a woman.My daughter’s mother and I were together for three years.

That's exactly how a narcissist would react, you're right. Breh will rebound but the wound will be there for awhile.Hate the buzz words but sounds like a “narcissist”
We had a kid together, thinking bout marriage, you leave me for young ma and im overreacting? She’s lost respect for you and likely doesn’t respect men at all. Wonder if she had a father in her life. Hope she can st least let the coparenting be peaceful for a fellow coli brehs sake.
Maybe I am missing something, but what exactly did she tell you? Did she breakup or did she just tell you about her sexuality. Is she bi? Lesbian? You really need to talk openly and honestly. I get it it's a huge blow to the ego. Also see a professional they can help you navigate this productively. Where does your relationship stand? One thing I will say is everything good you experienced was real. It happened. I know it's hard not to question it. Don't over analyze it. See a professional they will help you navigate this new normal. Also see a therapist together so you guys can figure out the future either together or as coparents. Good luck bruh. I know it's hard.
Bruh, go back to your baby. You both owe it to her to figure out what this means. The reality she's questioning her sexuality. She don't know what she is. You have to have honest discussions about it, your feelings towards each other, etc. don't accuse and say you did x. Say I feel x. First step is a productive dialogue. She didn't want you to go. Why? Does she live you? Security? The baby? Yeah you didn't sign up for it but it's your reality now. It's going to take a lot of work, but at the very least your baby is worth it.I appreciate you saying that, for real. To answer your question… she told me while we were grocery shopping at Walmart. She said she’s struggling with her sexuality and believes she’s truly gay. She admitted she was never attracted to men, just doing what was expected because of heteronormative pressure. I didn’t get any clarity why she finally came out now
She also said she didn’t want me to leave, but the truth is that’s not what I signed up for. I entered this relationship under the understanding that there was mutual attraction. She even implied “what if I was cool with her being with women, but she didn’t want me involved.”
What really hurts is that I would have never got her pregnant, bought a house with her, plan on getting married in the fall, and supported her financially and emotionally if she had been honest about her sexuality from the start. It felt like mine and our daughter whole world exploded in a matter of seconds. I used to see my little princess every day, now it’s every weekend.
I think part of it is the baby, the life we’ve built together, and probably security too. She said she loves me deeply and that I’m a great father, so I guess she didn’t want to lose that. But all of this started in June, and now it’s September. She’s fully embraced the gay lifestyle now, she’s on dating apps and actively dating women. Things have only escalated, pushing us even further apart than when this all began. Getting ready for custody mediation is my main priority, but I’ve found myself consumed by internal struggles and using porn to cope, which has made me feel the need to vent and seek help.Bruh, go back to your baby.

Women make emotional decisions everyday. To be honest, its not your fault. Usually when you've been a fair and decent lover, the person who leaves has issues, because nobody is perfect.My daughter’s mother and I were together for three years.
