Partner just left out of the blue.

But tbh without the income from me she has nothing.
This struck me.
I know if my partner gave me the feeling about me that you gave me about her, that I would feel uncomfortable.
Anything that makes a woman seem financially reliant on a man I get quite angered about. Some women let it happen, I realise.
Maybe she feels everything is ''your'' money and she has no place in her life and no bargaining power, due to having no money of her own?
I know if I had no prospect of having my own money (even if the tiniest bit) and therefore, to make my own choices, I would be really, really miserable. Even if a woman works for two hours a week for £14, it still gives the independance of mind that some people need.
Or she could just be bored, or she could have tried all she can to keep up the idea that she loved you for your child...or something else.
Until you speak to her, you will have no idea which, if any.0 -

She sounds like a spoiled princess type to me. Struggles to look after her own child one day a week? Walks out and expects you to come after her? It's nothing more than attention seeking, but I would worry about your daughter being with her full time if she struggles for one day. Why doesn't she work?0

Sorry but it sounds as though she was seeing someone else to me.Approach her; adore her. Behold her; worship her. Caress her; indulge her. Kiss her; pleasure her. Kneel to her; lavish her. Assert to her; let her guide you. Obey her as you know how; Surrender is so wonderful! For Caroline my Goddess.0

I agree with this. Problem is that some women at home have nothing better to do then think up all sorts of problems and work themselves up about it and as long as you let them off with it one you will find out that you both live in different worlds.
My sister is like that - despite having one child at home and one at school and a cleaner every fortnight, she never manages anything. She actually has friends (working full time) to help her clean and organise things when guests are coming. And the ideas she comes up with!! And how worked up she can become about them! And how she believes she has a right to say anything, even offensive - because she is right and that is it.
Don't take me wrong - I still love her to pieces, but sometimes I have to be quite firm when I don't want her to manipulate me into something and then feel the rejection for couple of days when I don't do as she wants me to :-)0
