Pregnant with 3rd baby, husband not happy and doesn’t want the pregnancy

Hi,
I’m so lost and don’t know what to do. Basically about 2 years ago me and my husband had problems our relationship went down the hill we have two children, we were kind of drifting apart we slept in separate bedrooms. But I always kind of didn’t give up and kept on going as I didn’t want my kids to feel the tension or anything at all. Just few months ago I lost my dad, since loosing my dad, my husband has been supporting. One day he came over to me and said we should give our relationship another go for our children and us. And he said “ my dad will be watching me he wouldn’t have liked it if I got divorced etc as in he would want the best for his daughter(me) .. so I kind of thought about it and said yes of course I want to give it another go and we got on really well. I also started to work on myself and loosing weight etc, I started feeling much better about myself etc and felt happy that our relationship is getting better. Now back in March I had taken my coil out as I thought I don’t really need it or want it as we didnt have any inter course for 2 years. I just felt like there’s no need for the coil and I’m not putting my body under any pressure. So sorry for the long post. I since our relationship got better I went back to sleep in our bedroom and we ended up having unprotected intercourse twice I did make him aware that I’ve took the coil out and we just carried on… now I only found out yesterday I’m pregnant which I didn’t expect. After not having intercourse for 2years and the only two times we did have intercourse I get pregnant what are the chances ?! My luck.. now since I find out I’m pregnant I get really happy and felt over the moon but anxious and nervous at the same time as I didn’t know how my husband’s reaction would be. I finally broke the news to my husband and it didn’t go very well. He said he doesn’t want a third baby and started telling me I’m a child myself and how do I want to have another baby, and that we can’t afford it etc. Bear in mind I’m the only one who is working full time and provide for the house etc which I don’t mind. He does other things school runs, cooking, house chores etc. So he does help in the house. I said to him this a blessing, he just wasn’t pleased at all and was asking if I sorted it out as in to have a termination. I’m so annoyed and upset don’t know what to do. We haven’t spoken since last night.

Ps I have had a termination 2 years ago (it was our decision then) as we had problems and wasn’t getting on then and that’s when I had the coil put in and our relationship went down the hill since then. And just recently got back on good terms and now I’m worried if I’ve messed up everything by becoming pregnant but both of us were aware of this before we had intercourse.

Please anyone been in my situation ? I feel so sad and don’t know what to do.

So sorry you're in this situation OP. But YOU haven't messed anything up, he knew exactly what he was getting into before you did the deed.

His reaction is a massive red flag, I'd think long & hard before staying in this relationship if I were you. It doesn't sound like he's going to come round to the idea & that will obviously cause a whole heap of problems for you in the future.

Also he sounds very emotional manipulative, using your late Father to guilt trip you is such a dick move imo. I'm sure your father would want you to be happy & loved by a good man.

I haven't been in your exact situation but my ex husband was emotionally manipulative & abusive. It was very hard but I left after 9 years & my life is significantly better for it. Good luck with whatever you choose to do but always put yourself & your children before this man.

@Miriam89 there are so many red flags in this man's behaviour! He comes across as manipulative and abusive, and I'd honestly strongly recommend reconsidering your decision to stay with him.

If you feel happy and over the moon about this pregnancy, great!

In a healthy relationship, there would be room for discussion and safe exploration of each others thoughts and feelings. Instead of that, you've received insults and been told to end what sounds to be, for you, an unexpected but wanted pregnancy. Where is his consideration of your feelings and your opinions?

Don't prioritise your husband's preferences over the needs of you and your children. I'm pretty confident that he wouldn't prioritise you or them over himself.

Congratulations on your pregnancy and good luck!

I really don’t know what to do, we still not spoke yet properly about it. We both need to sit down and talk
