Seeking anyone in a similar position or has been in this position in the past.
I've been with my husband for almost 11 years and married for almost 3. We have been planning to have a child for around a year and he suddenly decided he didn't love me anymore at 9 weeks pregnant. He has since moved out of the house and is currently dating someone else already. I'm now 19 weeks pregnant and still struggling to get my head around the entire situation.

A friend of mine. They had been together since school and were about 30. She and her DH had fertility treatment to conceive over some time. Finally successful. He worked away, just didn't arrive home when due back- she was about 6 months pregnant. Turns out he had been in a relationship with someone else whilst they were having treatment. She was totally in shock for weeks.

She has brought up a fantastic son. She was offered redundancy whilst on maternity leave. She went to uni just after the was born and qualified with a profession.

When he was about 5 she met and married a totally wonderful man (she met him in a shop- wasn't looking at all-he was single and very well off- sounds very Mills and Boon) and they have been together for about 15 years. You wouldn't know that he was a step dad as they are so close.

Visits were hard. For the first 18 months she had to go and stay with the ex whilst he had contact (she was breast feeding) and after that family members took him to see his father.

She had a great relationship with her former in laws who thought their son was a shit and basically were amazing support for her.

So - it all worked out for her.

I read another post a few days ago which sounded similar but I think the poster was slightly further into the pregnancy when it happened. It seems to happen more often than you'd think based on what I read here. Hang on in there, and I hope you find the support you need
