He left me 6 months pregnant and I can’t understand why

I have never done this before and I even scared to say this out loud just In case someone puts two and two together and works out who I am.

my ex partner nearly 2 weeks ago randomly ended it with me ( I’m 6 and a half months pregnant) .. for the last 4 weeks I had gut feeling something wasn’t right .. two days later I found him in our Bed with a girl 7 years younger that he works with.

apparently she has been a “close friend” to him while they work in the office

I am devastated numb, thinking of silly thoughts because this not the person I feel in love with. The actions really he’s done next have been unforgivable anew there is no way back for a relationship but I want him to have a relationship with his baby. I would never deny him.

I feel sick I can’t eat I feel disconnected from the baby.

I am back at home living with my parents and I can’t believe this.. I never imagined this life for my first baby. I’m looking for some some advice - can anyone help?

What a terrible shock for you @Mumtobe898 Flowers

Clearly you are better off without him as a partner. I don't have any useful advice about the way forward - just focus on yourself and your unborn baby for the moment, though; keep well and let the dust settle.

Hopefully someone who has been in this position will come along to be more helpful.

I am so sorry, that sounds unbelievably difficult. What I will say is that although it may not feel like it now, you will be so much better off without him in the long run. The stress of wondering what he's up to or who he's with has gone.... he's no longer your concern. Any man that can cheat on his pregnant partner is utter scum. At least you now know this and can move forward concentrating on yourself and your baby.

Be kind to yourself, let your family look after you in these first weeks..... you've had a terrible shock. Your baby is just fine right now, growing inside of you and you can focus on that in a few weeks. For now, I would do whatever you need to do to process this..... shout, scream, cry, write it all down, talk to friends and family....whatever helps.

Your ex is an idiot. He's missed out on a life with his partner and baby and the opportunity to be a happy family. It's his loss. You'll be just fine, I promise.
