I am wondering if anyone else has experience with this type of situation. ..
I have found out recently that the man I have devoted my life to for 4 years has no intention of committing to me now or in the future. I do not want to waste my time as I do want to get married and set an example of a stable relationship for my children.
My youngest child is his and so not being in each others lives is not an option. I would like to think we can be friends and I am not sure if this is a realistic expectation?
Staying friends??

I'm so sorry this has happened to you. It's certainly time to split up as this guy doesn't have your best interests at heart. Can you co-parent effectively, I believe so. I think the best thing to do to start with is create more of a business relationship to start off with so things don't become confusing and at a later date reassess if a friendship can work. My experience of exes though is it very rarely becomes a true friendship.
me and my husband (now separated) are still living under the one roof and still friends (we have kids together). Although its only been over a month but I think it is possible to stay friends. unless he gets nasty and you can't work well as a team. Communication and honesty and crucial I think. Best of luck with it all. Hope you find someone willing to give themselves fully to you and your kids xx
