I [M27] do 90% of the parenting while partner [F27] puts everything else before it, and it’s getting me down


My girlfriend loves our 18 month old son, but she chooses to work late and stay out so much that I do almost everything. She had him alone the other week when I was travelling with work and I got messages saying she can’t do it, that he has ruined her life, and it hurt.I’m tired and also trying to balance an intense job and a 3 hour round commute every day, with little money to spare after nursery costs.She cheated on me this year and fell for someone else hard. He ended it and screwed her over, she said she needs to figure herself out now but I know she still loves this guy. But she won’t end things with me, it’s just a “I just need time” situation.If she left right now, literally nothing would change in terms of parenting. Feeling lonely and kinda stuck, as she is really stubborn. And just a final note, I am a great dad and my relationship with my son is great.TLDR: feeling tired and lonely while i parent my son alone whilst my partner lives a 27 year old life of having fun. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2DJcb0s
