Hi everyone - I think I've decided to leave my DP but need your advice on whether I am badly overreacting. Please be brutal as I'm so confused.
My DP and I have been together 2 years and I'm currently 7 months pregnant. We're both so happy about the baby and he has been incredible during the pregnancy.
But about 9 months ago I found out that shortly after we started dating he slept with another woman. Although we weren't living together at the time I thought we were very serious about each other. I'd also asked him if he had slept with anyone after we got together and he told me no. At the time I found out I was tempted to leave straight away. However, he convinced me to give it a go for a few months to see how things went. Next thing I found out I was pregnant (in very traumatic circumstances - I didn't know I was pregnant and only found out when I miscarried one of the babies). Although it wasn't planned (contraception failure) we were both very happy.
For the past few months I've realised that I have lost trust in my DP- what happened at the beginning of our relationship has really influenced how I feel about him. I've noticed myself questioning him more and worrying whenever he or I have to work away. There are no warning signs but I am driving myself crazy. I can't carry on like this and know that once the baby arrives it could be even worse.
I really don't know what to do. I love him so much but I don't know how I can ever completely trust him. I think the best thing to do is to leave him rather than driving myself crazy and pushing him away / making his life a misery by not trusting him. Please help me I really don;t know what is for the best :(
