Naya's mom is suddenly being nice to me & making an effort

Like she bought me food when I came home. She gave me a massage when I said my body was hurting. She even randomly bought me Hot Wheels yesterday for my collection & they were good picks, surprisingly. She's talking nice to me & helping me with things I need. I appreciate it a lot but it's confusing me. I think realization must've struck her a lot more once I told her that I don't want to be with her anymore. I mean we're already broken up, but this whole time she knew I still wanted to be with her & it didn't matter to her. She still slept with someone else, KNOWING how I felt. Now that I've said I don't wanna be with her anymore, she asked me why (seems like a dumb question, considering what she did) & has even admitted that she DID give up on us this whole year & she wishes she didn't.

She's had this new job for a few months now where she's making more money than she was used to. I found a shift that works perfectly opposite of her schedule that way we could both work full time & still take care of Naya. We make the same amount of money now. Together we make over 6k a month. I know we were struggling for a while but I knew we were finally gonna be on track to have a better life than we've ever had together. I thought everything was about to be so much better until all of this happened.

It sucks to think we never got that chance to be happy together without struggling. I know that took a toll on us both. At first I was doing the most on my own, she defintely helped but I took on all the stress. Then those roles reversed when I went to jail. I lost everything all over again & I felt so useless 😔 after I got out of jail I put all my focus on Naya because I was trying to do everything I possibly could & it took me a while to find work again as a newly convicted felon. Life has been hard ever since she first told me she was pregnant. I knew if we lasted, 2026 would've been finally our year. We could've got a bigger apartment or even a house. I'd be able to get my license again & buy another car. We could afford to go out & do more things for Naya. It sucks so much to think all that died before we could even feel what it's like to be at peace as a family. That's all I ever wanted & all I was striving for.

There are people of principle and people of permission. People of principle will do the right thing without you ever having to ask because they care. People of permission will see just how much they can get away with and they won’t do the right thing until they realize you’re not giving them permission anymore. Then they’ll try to do whatever it takes to get that permission again, but that’s not because they care. It’s the opposite. They need your permission because they don’t care enough.

@Reject you're always so wise. I always find myself agreeing with everything you say. It's still hard for me to admit to myself that's what she's doing but I know I can't count it out. Even if her intentions were pure & she's simply realizing she DOES want to be together... At this moment I don't want it anymore. I do but I don't. I'm just getting more confused now 😔 thanks for dropping this gem though

@ChiefJustWalks As much as I know you see the best in people, stay strong in your convictions here, Chief. You were hurt in a way that is entirely unacceptable. She’s proven that she’s not looking out for you so you have to stand up for yourself right now. In my experience people of permission rarely if ever change and that’s because change requires sacrifice which means you have care a lot to do it. They either can’t, or simply don’t know how to genuinely care like that. It might not even be their fault, but as a result their company is problems waiting to happen. I don’t recommend it. I don’t think love should be always having to help someone because they are unwilling to help themselves. Ideally, it goes both ways.

Does she know you met up with an old friend, could that be why she is acting this way?

@Sutten she knows I met up with a girl because she made me lunch for work when Inleft her house on Sunday. When I came home with the tupperware, Naya's mom pointed out how guys don't have colored tupperware, or ANY tupperware usually. & Also how they don't make other guys lunch for work. I had no reason to lie but I also had no reason to tell her who I was with
She wants what she can't have..

@AbsolutelyFabulous that's what it feels like. Crazy how that works..
@ChiefJustWalks yes!! It's quite a common thing.. A bit immature but it is what it is. Probably best not to get sucked back into it though
