Help my son's father is a womanizer

Dear readers,

I have been in an intimate relationship for five years and we have a two-year-old baby. I love the father of my son a lot, but he keeps having intimate affairs with other women. He always begs me to forgive him and take him back with the promise that he will change. However, this change is yet to materialise. 

He recently got involved with a woman who called, abused me and ordered me to leave him alone.

I was so hurt since I had just let him back into my life. I confronted him about this other woman. He initially denied any involvement with her, but later accepted to have known her. Two months after that confrontation, he broke off our relationship for the woman who harassed me. 

However, he has now ended that relationship and wants us to reconcile. I sought the help of our friends, relatives and elders to talk to him to change his ways, but that has not happened. My friends have advised to leave him, saying he was not meant for me. 

Others say I should give him time to mature since he is only 30 years old. I have also been told that since he grew up in a polygamous family, he is emulating his father’s example and that he’ll never change.

I’m so confused, hurt and disappointed, yet I’m tired of being in an unstable relationship. What kind of love is this? What should I do? Should I leave? How about our son, I don’t want him to grow up without a father.

Liz
