So last week I felt rubbish about my false hope due to a late period (odd for me) and didnt hell that I was told PCOS runs highly in my family - I have an appointment next month to discuss this.
Anyway
A couple days ago my partner got into a argument about child support with his ex she was saying she wants more and he doesnt pay enough. He pays her bank directly each month and she was saying how hes getting older he needs to pay more. Which my partner refused as he pays a decent amount as it is and have his regularly which is every weekend and school holidays he is the one who also does the 45 minutes trip there and back to pick him up and take him home etc. And always goes half in school trips, uniforms and we buy him the school shoes etc.
Anyway she threatened to go through the govments child support. As she truly believe that since we can afford a 3 bedroom house in a nice area then he should pay more and that fact we have two full time wages coming in that WE can afford to give her more.
My other half calmly said our house and my wages have nothing to do with how much he gives her. I then just said to her dont go through the government Because it will work out that you get less.
With that she lost her shit and stared shouting and telling me to F-off, I have no say in this, that I dont have any children and that I have no idea what Its like to have one, to be a Mum, what a Mum is etc and all sorts like that and that I dont know what its like etc
Luckily I kept calm but with that my other lost his cool with her and basically defended me saying I do anything and everything for their child when needed and that I love and adore him (honestly I do).
It did eventually calm down and my other half told her to go through the government if she wants, he then sent her screen shots of how much the gov calculator worked out he should be paying her each work and in total he would actually pay her £90 less than what he does. And he said she can either keep what she gets now or hell go through the government and put the extra £90 hed be saving into a savings account for their child.
With that she accepted the current about to be acceptable 🙄
Its just with this past week of false hope and then worrying I may have PCOS (Ive had a couple minor symptoms from what Ive read) that is has really got to me. Its really got me down and thinking it isnt going to happen etc
