Mature adult couple (40+) together for about 2.5 years. Seemingly fantastic relationship by all accounts, except this one issue:
When Woman moved states for a job, court would not let young child move with her because "rocking the boat," so Child does not live with her during the school year though child wants to. Biodad has indicated no agreement to that now but maybe next summer.
Man (no children) believes so strongly that Child should be with Woman and says Child is so important to Man that it causes him angst and anxiety to the point he decides that he can no longer be in the relationship.
My tl;dr is he cares so much about the Child that it has to be all or nothing and he'd rather disappear from Child's life than be any part of it? Can someone help me make sense of this?
