Me and my partner just had a baby, but my partner has not rented a house or keeps saying he will be a house soon don’t know when . So atm I’m living at my parents place and he rents a room in another house . Does anyone think that is a bit unfair ? As I have to do things myself …

He isn’t your partner, and it doesn’t sound like he wanted/wants to be a parent or take on any of the inconveniences or responsibilities of being one. I think it’s time to have a proper conversation about where this relationship is going and make it clear that, if he expects it to continue, he has a month to help you find a joint home to live in together, or it’s over.

Honestly, I’d be preparing to be a single parent very soon at any case; and considering you’re essentially one now and are likely going to have to drag him along with you all the way if he stays, I’d be thinking about just telling him it’s over and getting arrangements in place for maintenance and child arrangements.

He isn’t stepping up as being a parent/father or a partner.

It is not a question of whether he is being fair or not.

You have had a baby with someone who is not willing to commit to either you or your baby.

What if he’s job is near his new place ? Does it still sounds like he’s running away
