He just left me and I’m pregnant with his second because I told him I don’t like how he speaks to me

I’ve been with my partner for 8 years and he has always struggled with communication and sulks and gives me silent treatment for days if we have a disagreement or he’s upset about something I’ve said that he doesn’t agree with and rather than us speaking to one another like mature adults he will twist everything or simply gaslight or stonewall me. I didn’t know he was doing all of these things until learning from other women on here that have also experienced the same. Today he has packed his bags and left me and our 5 year old and I am currently 10 weeks pregnant with severe morning sickness all because he refused to accept me telling him that I can no longer handle how reactive he is over every little thing and it’s too much for me to handle while feeling this week. He then told me he’s fed up and refused to acknowledge what I said and disregarded that he’s constantly reactive as he has anger issues and has now left so I’m made to feel guilty for bringing up an issue I felt was needed to be said rather than to let him continue doing something that is affecting the family negatively. I don’t really know what I’m supposed to do now..

This is an abusive relationship, OP. It's pretty much textbook abuse, and it's well documented that it often gets worse during pregnancy.

Do not get back together with him. He is an abuser.

Do you have family or friends who can help you?
