I feel like my life is a bit like a roller coaster at the moment. Today I'm lucky because it has been a good day. My partner is turning back into the man I fell in love with. It also scares me as well though knowing that it could change any day. I hope he is going to keep up paying attention to our daughter and I. The thing is I can't stop thinking about how pathetic I am. Usually people would break up with their partner if they are living with another woman wouldn't they? No matter how much I talk myself up to trust him I still have the doubt in the back of my mind. I wish I could make my mind up if I should be with him. I love every second i'm with him, I love every time I see my daughter Bendu's face light up every time she sees him but I can't stand the amount of pain I feel every time he says he has to go home. Even though he swears he isn't in a real relationship with the other girl, that they are only doing it so he can see his son and so she can stay in Australia with her brother how am I meant to be sure of their relationship? Am I doing the right thing staying with him?
You know we all have a tolerance level and only you know how much you can take. I would say follow your heart. Does he have any intentions on marrying you? As you know, we are almost in the same position, the only thing different is this "sister" was in the story first. I'm here to talk when ever you are ready. I pray for the best for you and your beautiful baby. God bless you

He says that he wants to marry me and that he really only loves me but apparently something in his culture is holding him back. He has told me that in Africa the mother choses who the son marries and the father choses who the daughter marries. He said his mum is forcing him to stay with the other girl. He says he doesn't love her as a wife and they don't get along to well that they never have but he has a special respect for her since she had his baby and i understand that. He says he's hoping that she will find someone else so that he can tell his mum that she left. Its really confusing though because I don't really understand much about the liberian culture and culture has never been a really strong thing in my life. I understand that culture is really strong in his life and i fully respect that and I would never try change that about him because I love how strong he is about his beliefs. The only thing is I'm not 100% sure if he is telling the truth or if he is just telling me that so he can stay with me and with her. Sometimes i trust him more than anything but sometimes he does some things that make me doubt him.
