26 weeks pregnant and husband is leaving me

Not sure what I’m looking for her, maybe a virtual hug and someone to tell me I’ll be ok?

I am 26 weeks with pregnant with #2 with a beautiful 3 year old boy. Hubby and I went through a rough patch in 2020 but went through 6 months therapy and came out a lot stronger. Or so I thought.

For the last few weeks things haven’t seemed right and when I’ve confronted it heads on, turns out it’s been a lot longer, he’s not been happy and felt forced into have another baby (bearing in mind in I had to go through various cycles of drugs to ovulate!). In a nut shell, he wants to leave me to find happiness for himself, whatever that may be.

To say I’m shell shocked is an understatement. I literally feel like I’ve had the rug pulled from under me and I’m just free falling.

Has anybody else been through this? Am I going to be ok? I’m so scared of what the future looks like as I have clearly been living on a different planet to him for the last few years.

I left my Ds’s dad when he was 10 months so not the same .

My advise is focus on what you can control - get all the baby stuff ready as much as you can . Get people around you to support you .

also get hold of any financial documents you can before he goes .

Sounds like he has someone lined up ready.

This smacks of an affair, he's suddenly decided to leave 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'm so sorry your in this position, but you'll be fine trust me. It's actually easier when you don't have to consider others in your parenting style.

You are, I promise, going to be okay. It will be hard, but you can do hard things. Get your support network around you, be really kind to yourself, and go find all the great things the future has in store for you and your children.

He sounds like a complete tw*t. Make sure your support network, housing, employment and finances are all in place and LTB
