Hi everyone I am 12+1 wks pg and have my dating scan on Monday, which is both scary and exciting. However I was hoping you might be able to help me with something I am worrying a lot about;
My partner is a freelance camera operator, working on films and drama, a few years ago when I first met him, he was declared banrkrupt, for the last two years his employment problems haven't bothered me that much but now we are about to have a baby I am getting very stressed. We are living in small flat at the moment but are due to move to a good size house at the end of the month, a friend of my family has given us a good deal with the rent. I only work part time as I am a student, so when he is out of work, like he is now, things are really difficult. My boyfriend is a very loving and supportive partner and I can't imagine us not being together, but his lack of motivation for finding work really scares me.
At the moment I am studying for my finals in a psychology degree and I'm also doing 16 hours part time work a week, as you can imagine, I'm exhausted. I've tried to push him to get a part time job, but he just insn't interested, he just sits and watches telly all day. I feel like screaming at the moment- what can I do?
