Dear Christiana:

“why do I still deep down inside feel so conflicted of wanting to stay?”-

– I am guessing because you are emotionally attached to him, on one hand, and on the other hand there is nothing so wonderful waiting for you where you will be moving out to, nothing that feels desirable.

Is my guess correct/ partially correct?

Dear Christiana:

It’s a good thing you are back working and searching for a place to live that’s within your budget. I suppose by “finding resources” you mean child care, as the father of your child is on the road for work. And other resources as well, anything and everything that’s available, or will be available when different services resume post-pandemic shutdowns.

For as long as you live with him, because you are understandably afraid of the unknown, you are likely to feel drawn to him from time to time, hoping that he will save you from the unknown. But remind yourself, when you feel that way, that he told you that “one woman wasn’t enough for him”, and that you are not okay with him having another woman.  Do post here anytime and I will be glad to read from you and to reply.
