I(29f) was in a relationship with my ex (36m) for almost 7 years. It got to the point where it wasn't horrible, but it wasn't happy. We share a son together, so we will always be in each other's lives. For the last year I have been seeing another guy (33m) who I thought was endgame, but his family is controlling and complicated and got in the middle of our relationship to the point he called off our engagement. We have since been on and off. We are on our second "break" and now my son's father wants to get back together, but I remember why we split, but I'm not sure he does. (I should mention that (33m)'s family purchased a house for us, but I feel like if I choose to get back with him I'll be stuck in a house with the kids that is controlled by his family, despite the financial security it offers my kids). It's all very complicated and honestly sending me spiraling.
TL;DR! I (29F) feel like I'm stuck in a triangle troup and I don't know how to feel or what to do.
