    Hey Everyone,never knew you could stick relationship problems up on boards,I was wondering if anyone had any advice or if anyone went through a similar problem,my partner of 7years and mother of my child left me fairly abruptly at the end of November2013,we had a bit of a problem in the weeks leading up to that but agreed we would work it out,she then changed her mind and left,we were 15 when we got together and now we are both 22,she blames me for not being a good enough father or being there for her when she had post natal depression and other problems bodywise which can happen to women having babies,I was 20 when I became a father and the whole thing shocked me,I can admit I was not there for her and I did not do enough as in night feeds and other duties like this,i didn't realise how serious post natal depression or the injury she occurred well giving birth,our child was 20 months old when she broke up with me,she blames all the above and me not spending enough time with my daughter,but in my defence I saw my daughter everyday while we lived together got her to bed 3 or 4 nights a week while my gf went to bingo,I know I could of done more at times but I went to work and came home to my family everyday and she still left blaming the 20months previous,since the brake up I have chased,begged,pleaded with her to give things a go,but during this time I fell in and out of depression and messing up without even knowning it like not collecting my child when I said would or failing to show up and without even knowning it disappointing my child and pushing my ex away further,it has been 6momths but we have been in contact ever since not really in the best way,we both still have not been with other people and I really do think there is a chance but ill have to prove to her I am a changed man as she doesn't and either do I want to go back to our 'old relationship',I am currently getting counselling to get rid or help with depression and help me with my thinking,I know a part of my ex still would like me back but the above reasons and her stubbornness are holding her back,as I said I have tried to get her back since she left without giving her time or space to even miss me,any advice would be great thanks

    From an observation ill tell you this I see a lot of threads here where the father begins to be a big part of the childs life then the ex becomes interested again or there is some chemistry there etc.
    why not just focus on your child for now and see where things go with your ex remember the children must always come first regardless of how you both feel
