So I found out a week ago I'm 5 weeks pregnant.. I've told my partner who I thought was going to take it well.. at first he was panicking, I wanted him to know he had the option that he doesn't have to be involved if that's what he wanted. All he said was what type of person would that make him.. Each day I've asked him how he is and it's just getting worse. He's said it f'cked up his next 4-5 year plan (uni courses to become a lawyer). He's now saying it's just f'cked up his life.. I tried to tell him he does still have options, he doesn't have to be around or involved and he flipped saying his only choices are ones given by me, that it's clear it's all about what I want and that everyone else just has to fall in line....... what do I do??

He sounds like he’s panicking. Just tell him to focus on his uni and not worry. If you can support yourself then he really has nothing to worry about - I don’t see how it messes up anything for him? Tell him he will be a great dad but first needs to focus on his education etc. The giant douche bag.
