Recently Single & Pregnant, also has 18mo

[Theunknown1234]

So I recently broke up with my ex because he is a habitual cheater. I have caught him texting, FaceTiming and even on social media talking about how he’s had with multiple women all while we are together. Most of it happened when I was pregnant with our first child who is now 18mo. Recently I discovered him having sex with another woman and I broke up with him, however I am 8 weeks pregnant. He is aware of the pregnancy and keeps mentioning the baby when we talk as a way to convince to be back with him. Honestly, I am very confused on what to do. I love him and our first child but I can’t keep putting up with the constant cheating. I work full time (50+ hours) in a HIGH stress job and do not have ANY family support. If I keep this baby I will honestly be alone with 2 kids under 2 with no help and having to work to provide for us. I am terrified of the idea of terminating, but feel like my back is against the wall

Oh dear OP. Did you want another baby eventually? Can you cut your hours at all?

Is CMS an option to provide you with extra money from your Ex?.

I had two born a year apart, no family or friends help, ex absent, you will be able to manage if that’s what you choose to do, it‘s doable especially as you will have a bigger gap.

If he’s habitually cheated he’ll do it again even though you are pregnant and even when you have 2 children. Leave now and get settled and ready for the new baby in your own home

It's your choice complete. Perhaps speak to BPAS who can talk you through these options and allow you to really think about what is the best way forward. You need to be thinking about what is best for YOU and your 18 months old. NO ONE ELSE matters or has a say.

Thank you for all the advice. Honestly I think I’d hate myself for terminating, so I’m just going to have to find a way to make it work. I know things will be extremely hard but I’m sure there have plenty of mothers who has done it before

dump him for starters. You can be a single mum and be happy.

or be a partnership and be miserable and constantly worrying

i know which i would prefer! (and am doing clue:alone!)
