Will boyfriend come round to unplanned pregnancy?

[nolongerwhite]

I'm 39, he's 50 so we aren't young. I'm 8 weeks pregnant with an unplanned baby. He isn't coping well. He's being quite distant and has made it clear he wishes it wasn't happening. This is despite him previously saying that having children has been a dream of his. He doesn't have any other children. Is he likely to come round to this pregnancy or is it more likely I need to face being a single mum? I don't think I could go through with a termination at this point.

How long has he had to get used to the news?
It took my DH 4 days to accept our youngest was on the way. If he had been much longer I'd have left

I think you need to be prepared to be a single parent OP.

I’m in a similar situation I’m 35 ex partner was 44 and he told me outright another child wasn’t for him. He’s father to a 24 and 20 year old. Unplanned pregnancy yes but I was pregnant before (been together 5 years) and he made no attempt to tell me it wasn’t what he wanted. My only advice is prepare yourself to do this alone it’s not easy I’ve found great support in my friends and surprisingly my ex partners cousin. Being pregnant can be such an enjoyable experience that doesn’t deserve to be tainted by someone who doesn’t want to be involved and is maybe only going to make the experience harder.

I hope you are ok as I say I understand it’s not easy and I hope you find support
