The Weekly Gripe

His mother says I am using our daughter to get him

I want him back, what should I do?

I just want him back

I am very protective of my daughter because you cannot change what has already happened, you can only try to prevent it. I just cannot and will not allow him or his mother to have my child without me in her presence.



I have been in love with a man for seven years now. We may have a chance to get back together again and I want him back, but his mother says I am using our daughter to bribe him to be with me.

16-11-2007Love is the strongest form of insanity there is. It should be avoided at all costs. It is an invitation to someone to take you for granted, use and abuse you, bore you to death, sadden and worry you, depress you and cause you to react and sometimes behave quite irrationally. I recommend a hedonis...moreNick
14-11-2007Grow up-professional victim. You are teaching your child to fail. You probably have a history of dating loosers. You are predictable and tedious.geoff d
09-11-2007It's your life, how you live it and how you make your turns in life is partly controlled by yourself. I write partly for your life is already made out for you, you may not be aware of this fact. Your destiny is planned prior to you entering this plain. This is the way it is, for all of us.Mark
09-11-2007Good too see the UK releationship gripe site solved another case, but surely all she had to do was read it back to herself so come up with the same conclusion.Cher
06-11-2007I want to thank everyone for your advice. I knew in my heart I didn't need him around. This gripe thing really helps because none of you all know me or him and can see things in a logical way. I am happy that you all can give your advice and believe me I will take it and run with it. I have rece...moreA mother
05-11-2007Do you know what, I believe you need protecting from your own stupidity. I don't want you to feel like an isolated case for there are millions out there just like you. Screw the nut, buckle down and enjoy your time here on this plain.Carla - Mablethorpe
04-11-2007People will suggest things here, most will seem like they may as well be asking to you to fly to the moon. Your ex-partner is in jail, he has a history of drugs, being a drunk and a womaniser and you can't see anything negative about this? Or if you can, you seem to suggest that this behaviour...moreChris
03-11-2007I agree with what MrsA said. Do what is best for your daughter and not get involved again. Actually, you said the mothe rung you up drunk and that he had started drinking again? Would you really want to have your daughter in that kind of environment? I don't think so. Have patience, someone ...moreDee
02-11-2007I think you should go and knit yourself a cardy, you'll feel much better afterwards. Also, try a Wellington boot, it's much better than a man.Marge in Stoke
02-11-2007I don't belive what I am reading at all is real. Go on tell me you are a script writer for a soap opera series: Eastenders perhaps?Skeptiko
02-11-2007I think you need to do what is best for your daughter, which is likely to not get involved with him again. You said you wanted to 'prevent' bad things from happening, yet inviting him back into your life seems like inviting the devil for dinner. You should focus your energy on showing your d...moreMrs. A
