Hi

I'm 19weeks pregnant and 19.
I'm living at home with my mum, my bf is pressuring me to move out and in with him we end up arguing about it every week and I keep asking him to stop forcing me to move with as I'm not ready to he always says it's best for that baby and that he's trying to do the right thing for me and the baby but he doesn't listen when I tell him that it's making me feel ill as it stresses me out.
I've been serverly ill during the pregnancy and ended up in hospital a few times because of it I've tried to explain to him that I'm not ready nor well enough to move miles away from my family as I need their help but he continues to pressure me about it.

I don't know what to do to make him relise he needs to stop?

Is there any sort of reason behind his desire for you to move out? Although it sounds like he isn't the sort of person who can easily be reasoned with!

What about his parents? Is he the same age as you, and does he get on with his parents? If you get on with his parent it might be that you can reason with them and they can try to communicate your concerns to him since he's not listening to you.

My other advice would be couples counselling, there are charities who can offer it for free if money is tight, but there may be a wait time.

Making people who won't listen actually listen is really tough, an do know this is easier said than done but try to remain calm and if an argument starts try walking away, or if it's at your house ask him calmly to leave as you don't want to have a heated discussion/you need a time out and want to calm back down for the sake of the baby

I'm 19 and 26 weeks pregnant have been living with my dp since I was 16 and he was 21 it's really hard and to move out with baby in toe would be incredibly hard. It takes a while to get used to finances and bills and shopping etc and if u don't feel ready then just tell him no.

Also does he have his own house where would you be living what support would u have and what money would u have come g in each month ask him all them questions and see how he reacts.

Moving out at 16(although I wasn't voluntary care) was hard but best decision I made for myself. How long have u been with your bf?

Maybe he just wants to see baby 24/7 in your own joint home instead of part time at your parents house
