Alright. So I've been in a relationship with my girlfriend for two years now, we had a baby back in November and it wasn't planned. We got along great but in the past 9 months we do nothing but fight. Mainly about our families. She has no problem letting our daughter go see her family but when it comes to letting her see my family she isn't allowed. I know by law I'm allowed to just take her and see my family but we always end up in fights. I mean massive fight. Nothing physical though. At least I don't get physical. I don't know what I should do, whether i should just end the relationship or what.

I know this isn't a counseling site but there are a lot of awesome people with great advice and that is all I am seeking is your thoughts and advice.

I'm just gonna throw this out there, why not go to counseling.
You know, real counseling, not a forum primarily made up of socially oblivious gamers.

This might sound dickish, but I'm not wrong and if there are issues this serious in your life you need to tackle them and not take the advice of random idiots on a website.
And let's face it, 95%+ of this website is not equipped with the experience or maturity to actually help you.

Just be careful what advice you decide to heed because this is a life altering choice.
I wish you the best of luck.

Try and figure out why she feels the baby can't see your family, but you've got to be understanding with her if you want the relationship to continue. Give her time and understand a mothers protectiveness around their own baby.

Maybe try to get your family to come around to you whilst she's there, with the baby. See how it goes and perhaps if it's a trust related thing then she can see that your family pose no threat and can be trusted with the baby (Not that they can't be)

You guys should settle your difference before something happens or you split, think about your child first and foremost.

This is random, but my brother-in-law was killed this weekend by a hit and run (R.I.P.) and now my niece is fatherless. I only bring it up because my sister and him we're basically in the exact same situation you are talking about. Anything can happen at any moment and you should think about your child first is basically what I'm getting to. You don't want him/her to grow up without one of you in their life.

If you end it, you'll be paying a lot of child support

Thank you everyone for the advice, I don't want to just end the relationship but this has been going on for months on end. I've tried to sit her and my family down and work out the differences and it just ends up in a screaming match and I get stuck in the middle, we just recently had a huge blow out and as far as I am aware we are split up, which is the exact opposite of what I wanted but I want what is best for not only my daughter, but for me. I matter too. It is just hard trying to put myself before my daughter to take myself out of a mentally abusive relationship like this. I am not worried about paying child support, I will do that without a problem, it just sucks that it has come to this. I guess I just posted on here to see what you guys would say.

So again, thank you guys for your advice. It truly means a lot.

Maybe try and find out the reason she doesn't want her daughter to see your family.

But I agree with the above suggestions of going to a family counsellor.
