Unsure if I should leave partner

Hi
I am currently 33 weeks pregnant and throughout my pregnancy my relationship with my partner has deteriorated. We have been together for 8 years and this is our first child. I have had a history of mental health problems before especially around my periods and have been feeling very depressed the last few months. I've gone to my partner for support but I don't feel like he truly understands and now he doesn't listen at all. We argue all the time and cannot agree on anything. At my last scan I was told that my baby was on the small side and my partner has blamed me because of how stressed i've become. I have tried therapy during my pregnancy but I am now beginning to wonder if I will be better off on my own. We share a home together and I know he would not be willing to move out as he has another child. I can return to my family but I would not want that permanently. I just wonder if anyone has had the same experience and any advice. Am I throwing away what was an OK relationship.I feel like I need to make the choice while I still can.

This sounds like such a difficult situation. Could you go to your family for a bit just to give you some space? It may help you to think things over and just to recover generally. It could also help your partner to put things in perspective and understand how serious the situation is. To blame you for your baby's size is awful and he needs to understand that his behaviour is only making matters worse. Perhaps you can have therapy together as a way forward? Take care of yourself x
