I have decided to kick my boyfriend out. I have decided that his lies and deceit are too much for anyone to have to put up with. There is a child involved, so I have decided to do what is best for both of us and break it off. The sad part is that he really won't care. Any boosts of courage anyone could toss out? I am doing this on Sunday. Wish me luck. You have all been great. I want to also say thank you to all who have responded to my posts; you have helped a lot.

I'm sorry to here about what your going through,I wish you the best.If he is lying to you all the time and not feeling bad about it then maybe this is for the best. He might not care now but he will later when it's to late... Your right you have to think about your child first and whats best for the two of you. It sounds like your saying good bye to everyone here also. I hope not this is one of the best places to find help and support. And you might need a friend later,I'm sure there is someone here that went through what your going through and can share it with you. Good luck and be strong, hope to see you around again.

Lux,

I have read your posts and I have to agree with your decision. Stand firm. If he all of a sudden has a change of heart (which I can pretty much guarantee will happen) you have to be strong. Once he is gone, go to the courthouse and file paperwork. It will establish you as the primary caregiver and he will have to fight for custody. Either he fights or he doesn't. If he does, he will have to proove himself to the court (sad for guys who really are good dads) before he will get regular visits. The ball is in your court. Just keep that cute little boys face at the front of your mind when you kick him out, and you will do the right thing.

He won't fight. He agreed already. It's over tonight. I wish someone (other than me)could tell him that he will feel horrible about this later. He said that he wants to do his own thing and play with his friends... he is 18 and acting much younger. I just hope, one day, I can find someone for me and my little guy.

This is the 1st time I have been to a support group on line, I can some what understand about the lies and deceit, my husband of 14 years told me that it was over and there was no one else ~ wrong. There was an internet connection with someone from another state, we have 2 kids and a mess of debt., he wanted to wait until after the holidays to move out and after knowing what he has told me, told him he had to change or move on ~ he is moving on. With the help of family and friends I have to stay strong for my little ones that are involed
