I've been having some trouble lately. I've been with my other half for around 5/6 months and a month into the relationship I got pregnant and I'm sure in December. I've been having doubts for a few weeks now if I actually want to be in a relationship with him. He's done nothing wrong he treats me well and I want him to be there for his child. I just don't believe that I feel the way I first did when we met. I tried to talk to him about this before and he told me it's either all or nothing- but of course I'm stuck in the middle. I said previously that I wanted it to work but I'm struggling to see that it will as I just don't think I have those feelings anymore. But at the same time I still need him there for me and the baby and I want him to be a part of raising our child. PLEASE Any advice will helpSad

I'm sorry you're going through this. It's a lot to be going through.
He's probably giving an ultimatum because he's hurt.
Maybe suggest you just take some time out to think things through for now & have a bit of a breather?
If you are definitely sure you don't want to be together then try to be as kind as possible so you can have a good relationship as parents.

It could you be your hormones OP. I felt the same way about DP in my first pregnancy. I couldn't stand him and seriously considered leaving him as I thought I wasn't in love with him anymore once baby was born my normal feelings returned.

Pregnancy can be hard even on couples that have been together for years its a scary time and your hormones will be all over the place. If I was you I wouldn't make any decisions now wait until the baby is here and then decide don't make life harder for yourself when it doesn't have to be and I hope everything works out well for you :)

What are the issues?
If they're not major I'd suggest staying and seeing how you feel after the baby is born. Your feelings may or may not change but it doesn't sound from your post as if they're really one way or the other honestly.

I have to add there was a time during my pregnancy I felt quite detached from my partner which isn't like me. It did pass but I still have this new found independence. Breakups can be really hard, you dont want to feel trapped but equally you don't need the stress just now.
