I've had some advice irl, but most people are just calling her a cunt etc. Need some more help.
Just got dumped in the most brutal way possible, heart, soul destroying shit and I'm not sure what to do. Basically she was the unicorn at a glance, younger, no prior boyfriends, not a virgin(but that's not gonna happen), good dad, shared memes about the Jews, played spot the tranny with me, had a kid with me. I mean....I felt so happy even discussing the next.
Then she said she had 4 days trip with her best friend, got down there, said she was safe, she loves me and good night. Next day a text it's over. She couldn't even call. Told me she would move in with this girl. Says she's not happy, had to take the chance now. Will collect her things in Friday, then says shes gonna stay a bit longer to help her pal, will be up next week. Next day our kids tablet emails pings, she's booked train tickets elsewhere. Another man. She texts saying just a friend, she swears. Kids tablet pings, his name in hearts on her Instagram....she comes clean will be back in a month now....might move there, in with him, just like that.
Our kid has forgotten her now...this new guy has two kids to an ex and being honest is ugly, fat and broke....she lied every step of the way...
Lads where did I fuck up? I did everything I could to get a decent one. It took 2 years of online bullshit to find her. Single dad now and older.
Finally looked in tinder, hinge and POF. I ain't paying so limited choice. And i noticed 999/1000 women even the younger ones all look so old, worn, ugly and fat.
Am I too old? I wanted more kids, but is it over? I'm 35 now. Good shape, car, house, most of my hair.
And of course some days are still hard.
What would you do? Am I acting a faggot? I did block the whore across the board. She's dead to me.

Yeah, you fucked up. You trusted a woman to do the right thing rather than make decisions for her. Ecclesiastes 7 man…
Other than that, rebuild yourself out of the wreck you find yourself in. Sounds like you got a lot going for you. Don’t be weak when your kid needs you the most.
I’ll say a quick prayer that God guides you to the right choices.

So as for the advice bit. Don't let it wreck you, keep your nose to the grind stone and focus on being a good father. It will drive her nuts knowing you're happy and well off without her.

Heartily second this advice.
I find Seneca's letters to Lucilius to be particularly approachable: https://archive.org/details/letters-on-ethics-to-lucilius-pdf-room
If you do audio books, "The Tao of Seneca" series is very well narrated.

This is bitter jilted ex chick energy and you need to check that in yourself - I say that with love - go hard, but don't be too hard on yourself, because it's A LOT easier said than done.
You have to let go of ALL negativity. She is the mother of your child. If you don't manage to purge the negativity you will expose your child to it - whether you know it or not - this will harm the child - think about how it effected you (and your school friends ( when someone said something bad about someone's mum!
Pro tip: give your ex a code name. - I have been in similar shoes - I went with "the angel" - because kids are great at overhearing shit they shouldn't, so even if your bitching to your friend use the code name.
On a final note - don't worry too much about dating. Single dad's who take responsibility are the true antithesis of the globo-homo agenda and the fact that you are doing what's right on a day by day, puts you very high up on the pecking order.
Spend as much quality time with your child as you can - hire in some help if you can afford it - and trust me, at your age, they will be hovering around you like in flies on shit in no time.
Don't take the stupid actions of your ex to heart. It's her fuck up, you will live the best life.
And maybe it's for the best. Because the next one will be better.
Stay strong, let yourself get sad but don't wallow.
I was in similar situation to you at roughly your age, and now I've got a new toddler running around, and my wife is amazing with my other kids.
But you have to let go of the negativity - nothing good will happen to you while you exist as victim.

I once mentioned, years ago, I like it when she touches me and lightly rubs my neck and ass as I drift off to sleep and for many many years that's our sleep regimen. I say goodnight give her a hug and a kiss, put her on ignore, roll over and wonder why I'm so lucky as she caresses my neck. She can work a 12 hour shift, come home trashed and exhausted and I'll still get rubs as I drift off.
I'll admit, I've bought her rude $ amounts of jewelry, but she tucks it away in the safe and I spy it only on special occasions. I get as much mileage out of buying grapes at the store. She knows that I don't like them much, but that she does, and she overjoyed when I simply happen to pick some up -remembering her while I was shopping. Especially since she does most of the shopping, and I've noticed that she rarely buys grapes and I think it's so that I can buy them for her. So I get good ones when I do. Crazy stuff man.
Anyway, wish you and your lil one the best, and hope that your heart can heal up some so you can keep on going.
Read that link, it's true IMO.

No way, dude. You're at just about peak value for young women looking for a "finished project" man who has his shit together instead of a DIY project.
If you're even remotely good looking, confident and fit, you should be having to beat them back with a stick.
I second what @dingbat said. Take some time away from the dating scene to get yourself sorted out. Look into starting some new hobbies, start engaging in new activities with your child. It will help bring you closer together during this turbulent time.
As for where you fucked up, venturing a guess, loss of respect. It happens more often than you might think. Women "shit test" us all the time. It's not necessarily a bad thing. Think of it as an ongoing quality control exercise.
Believe it or not, some of the most sage advice I've seen on managing a relationship with a woman came from a post on one of the chans. Looking for it now, though may take a while.
Will post when I find it.
Hang in there, man. It gets better faster than you think.

Funny thing is, Mrs. Fascinus has an unfinished novel as well. Reading this again reminded me to offer some gentle encouragement in that direction once our littlest ones aren't quite so demanding.

What did you do wrong? Well, she was looking for something. Likely, some affirmations of how awesome she is and looks. Stranger on the internet simped for her. Short answer she was damaged in some way you didn't see. And maybe you're an inconsiderate asshole, but I'm just spitballing.
You could ask her dad what happened, but he's going to take her side. She will be coming back around to "get her kid", so get a lawyer and be prepared.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Her dad bails her out no matter what, but some of her friends dumped her over it, they ain't even my friends.

You want to establish a 'new normal' that little Timmy just lives with his dad, this is his life now, this is what he is used to, with dad is where his life and friends etc are.
If you pull this off, then this, combined with her unceremonious exit from the child's life (which caused harm and was left for you to explain) will make your case undefeatable.
Seriously. If you manage to make it to 6 months before she starts asking for access to the child and actually spends time with the child (which you only her do under your supervision) then you will win the case and don't even need a lawyer (seriously save your money)
Keep your cool!
Keep things low key!
Let her take YOU to court

This situation sucks and I’m sorry you’re going through this right now.
Advice: get off of online dating right now and take some time to heal. You’re just replacing her and you’re not gonna find anyone good that way. Of course you still have time to have all of that. Just relax, take some time to regroup, and be a good dad.
