I need advice

Hi....
So I really need some advice....Iv been with my boyfriend for 6 years now and we are expecting our first baby in a few weeks but my boyfriend is driving me crazy he is so so immature we live together and at the weekends he literally gets up leaves the house to hang out with his friends every Saturday and Sunday all day...any time I ask him to do something he doesn’t want to do it....last week I asked him about what baby names he liked and he just wouldn’t entertain me but then comes home this evening and tells me he want to buy a new race car and spent the whole evening in the phone to his friends discussing this....he acts as if he is 16 years of age and we are both 30...he is obsessed with his friends and I dont have a problem with that but I think I should be his priority not them.I’m sick of nagging him but he just doesn’t seem to get it...does anyone have any advice on this or am I just completely over reacting?

Has he been going out to see friends all day during lockdown ? If so then that's grossly irresponsible especially with you being heavily pregnant and therefore at risk.

He sounds like a child.

Accept the inevitable and get rid now saving yourself years of wasted time, energy, anguish and tears.

Haven't you always known this about him? I doubt he just suddenly became so useless and immature.

Ya even during lock down he has met them which also turned into a fight between us....well yes but it never bothered me until now because I’m very independent person who doesn’t need to be with there partner 24/7 and I have absolutely no problem with him meeting up with his friends but I just think that now we’re in a different path our priorities need to change I have to make sacrifices so why can’t he....I just feel like such a nag and he’s going to start to hate me but he never seems to get the message

It's one thing to be independent and not need to be with your partner 24/7 and quite another thing to have a partner who isn't interested in you and your baby.

Time for an ultimatum.

I agree, he needs to ship up or ship out.
Do you have supportive parents?

I just think that now we’re in a different path our priorities need to change

Well, it doesn't sound like he agrees with you on this.

I have to make sacrifices so why can’t he

He doesn't need to - you're going to pick up the slack so he can just carry on being a teenager forever. You're basically his mum now.
