to ask what happens if you really just can't cope (could be sensitive)

It's kind of hypothetical. But if you just could not do it, if you couldn't manage financially or emotionally with children. What would happen?

Can you place your own children up for adoption voluntarily? I am honestly just wondering.

Being in a relationship where you have no voice is going to make you feel hopeless and helpless. Your self esteem sounds very low. I wouldn't be so sure that you couldn't manage alone.

You absolutely can manage on your own, make some new friends, make a plan.

Family help isn't everything and lots of people are single parents without family (mine are all on the other side of the world).

He sounds pretty selfish and not at all like a partner in any sense,
