24 weeks pregnant and by myself..

Hi all, I'm 24 weeks pregnant and I think I just need a rant.

Back before I found out I was pregnant, me and my ex were going through a rough time, on the verge of breaking up then I found out I was pregnant. We tried to make it work but he left me at 8 weeks pregnant and has been playing games with me ever since.

It's an 'I don't want you but nobody else can have you' kind of situation. I can't speak to other men but he can quite easily talk and sleep with other girls and when I question it he tells me we're not together he can do what he wants.

I was forced to move back into my family home and have only this week moved into my own place. I am enjoying the privacy but it is so lonely and the thought of being here with a baby is so daunting.

He says he wants to be involved but he doesn't show any interest in me, I had a scare the other day and he wasn't bothered I couldn't get hold of him because he was out taking speed with his mate and his phone was dead. I just long for the family unit, him going and getting me what I'm craving an telling me he's going to be there for me but he isn't changing and I can't cope :(

Any advice?

Sorry you're going through this whilst pregnant, pregnancy is hard enough on its own. I'm sorry to say that if he wanted to be there for you, he would be, rather than just saying it. It's completely unfair for him to be off with other women and to be stringing you along. Can you lean on your family for support? I think you need to steer clear of him, he's sounds manipulative.
