To think he shouldn’t be flirting with other women when I’m pregnant

so I’ve been in a casual ish relationship. We agreed to keep it exclusive but as we both lead very different lives we said let’s just spend time together. We’ve been doing this for 7 months, getting along fine. Small bumps along the way about expectations.

Anyway I recently found out I was pregnant, through contraception failure. And I really do not know what to do. He has been excellent, supportive and understanding.

We agreed to have a long chat to see how we were both really feeling and what life might look like if I kept it. I didn’t decide then however I am leaning towards an abortion. The following night, he’s texting me to say how sad he is. I mean literal hours of him being drunk, saying he’s sad but he can’t change my mind, he said he’s crying whilst he’s out.

I sent him some supportive messages but I was kind of annoyed because it’s not exactly an easy decision for me. The next morning I sent him a message just saying I hope he’s okay, I’m sending lots of love and for him to just let me know he’s home safe. I heard nothing all day so I thought he could be mad.

I went on social media, nope he was out with women later that night. I also could see he posted several flirty comments on a woman’s profile. AIBU to think it’s disrespectful to ignore me when we’re talking about something so serious. I was feeling so guilty and worried about him but instead he’s actually fine and has been entertaining other women

Please get a termination. This is so toxic, you deserve better. It would be really unfair to subject anyone to a shit 'father' like this

It almost feels like he was playing along with how I feel and because he knows how difficult it was for me to make the decision. I know it’s the correct decision but it doesn’t make it any harder. Just absolutely so weird to me

It's been 7 months
It's been 'casual'
He phoned you while drunk, professing his want for the child, presumably after a mate showed him a cute baby photo, or relating a funny kid story.
Then you saw his social media
It's been 7 months
It's been casual
You know the end of this story...

Agree, sorry OP.

I just was worrying about him but instead of letting me know he’s okay he’s actually fine he’s just flirting with other women in public on social media

I do know the end of the story and I didn’t imagine we would end up together. Or if I kept the baby. I didn’t think we would end up together. But I just get so offended I’m worrying and feeling guilty about him because he’s sending videos of him crying whilst being out?
