So long story short.
With current partner a year
I’m 27 weeks pregnant
I have a 3 year old with ex
We’ve recently moved in to a new house
Current ( ish) partner just started a new job

We have been bickering a lot and basically he’s had enough and last Sunday he left. He has been round once since to talk to me. I laid my cards on the table and told him how I felt - how desperately I want this to work and how I think he should try. He said he needed more time to think.
Today he is saying the same- I suggested building our friendship back and spending time together and working on it- he seemed open to this but hasn’t said much else. He said he wanted time to miss me but feels like it hasn’t come.
So basically what do I do

  • keep trying, being nice, trying to convince him to try
  • leave it ?

I know how much he will miss out on if he walks away but how can I make him realise ?
Also I know that theres no one else involved he isnt like that
We’re both 25, I suggested maybe doing something this weekend for s couple hours but he said he is out for his friends birthday
Also posted in relationships- but I figured everyone here would understand what a vulnerable time this is

I would probably leave him to do his own thing and in the mean time you focus on yourself and your baby! Try not to hassle him with phone calls and text. Try not to message him with suggestions to meet up because he will then think he has you right where he wants you... have you not got family/friends you can spend time with just to get over this first tough part? At least once he sees you're getting on with life and don't need him, he will realise what's he's missing and if by then you still want a relationship like that with him, you can decide x

Don't message/call him. I know it's hard but if you show him you are getting on with your life the likely good is that he will be more inclined to come back. When guys sense desperation or neediness it just makes them know that they have control and can pull the strings.

No phone calls, no texts, go cold turkey, it will work in your favour in the long run x

Don't go chasing after him, if he wants to come back then he will, if he doesn't then don't try and force him as it will make things worse in the long run. And I know you haven't said you've done this, but don't sleep with him in the meantime, make sure he doesn't think he can have his cake and eat it.
Tbh it sounds like a lot has happened in a short space of time, so he may be having a freak out. Give him space, and go from there.
