Job ambition – this is something I admittedly could work on but I don’t think I’ve shown that I’m necessarily slacking here
Communication – good points. That is something I’m also working on.
Dog – agree, this is a major point here. I do have parents/friends who are willing and would take him but do you think it’s fair to have to make that choice when he was a known factor and something she agreed to at one point?
Spot on! I was the same age as op when I had mine, I'm no longer with that partner either. I have never once regretted my decision or felt anything but confident I did the right thing for everyone involved. Sometimes I wonder what could have been, like you, but I 100% know I don't want biological kids at all, ever.
I think the problem more than anything is that OP’s girlfriend has some unresolved issues she needs to take care of on her own.
What else was OP suppose to do in this situation other than protect himself, his property, and his girlfriend?
It sucks she was triggered by this event, but OP also suffered a traumatic experience as well.
It’s most definitely abuse.
