So, long story short. I have a 13 month old& I’m
currently 23 weeks pregnant. My partner wanted me to have an abortion but I felt so negatively against it- I totally understand why some people do but I just couldn’tSad. This was around 8 weeks.

Now 23 weeks. I’m fed up with the comments he makes such as “ And you want another one”, “ you can’t cope”, “ it’s all your fault” “we already have strain on our relationship”. I WILL NOT get rid of this baby!! I couldn’t live with myself if I aborted. I feel so so depressed. I don’t know what to do with myself, I just want to runSad

I had a friend whose partner was like this. Absolutely awful to her during the pregnancy. He went on to bond with the child and years later Is a great father. She seems to have forgiven him. But not forgotten. She talked to me about it again recently. The child is in its late teens.
I really feel for you and in your place I would be considering telling him to leave.
My opinion on termination is as early as possible as late as necessary - but for personal reasons it's never been an option for me so I absolutely think you're right to choose your baby over a man.
Good luck

And anyhow it's too late now so don't worry - don't give it a second thought. He'll get over it.

Gosh he's unpleasant isn't he?
That's quite bullying to keep sniping at you when you are carrying his child. He's the one damaging your relationship. And his future relationship with his 2nd child. He sounds really immature and somewhat abusive.

My XH said similar (& worse) about our third child when I was pregnant with her and when she was young, even though she was planned! I never forgave him nor will. She was meant to be in this world and I don't regret her at all, she is one of the 3 best things I ever did in my life. She is absolutely marvellous and the world is better for having her in it.

Sounds like the only thing that needs terminating here is your relationship with the CF.
