27 weeks pregnant and my boyfriend has been cheating

Can anyone help me

I need a good support network because I have just found out my boyfriend has been paying for photos/videocalls/phone calls of s*x workers and naked women whilst I’ve been pregnant and during the past week.

He has been on dating sites also, so god knows if he’s brought anyone around the house but I have been working extremely hard doing night shifts to provide for my baby girl and I can feel myself going into a spiral of depression.
He has done this in the past but I didn’t imagine him to stoop so low whilst I am carrying his child.

He denies he’s done anything wrong even with me seeing the proof and just gaslights me but I know. Samaritans and mind are useless I need support to help me leave the toxic relationship

I'm so glad you're leaving. You and your baby both deserve so much better, and he deserves no more chances.

I'm no expert but I think women's aid may be able to support you in leaving? Do you have family or friends around?

I'm so so so sorry your going through this, Agree with above comment. Thank god your leaving darling! He's a piece of shit quite frankly. If he can do all this whilst your carrying your daughter he doesn't deserve to keep you. I hope you find help and support to help you leave, I can't imagine how upset you must be right now. The only thing we can do here is try advise you and let this be a place to talk ❤️ definitely try womens aid and reach out to family to help you!xxx

What's your living situation?
Do you have family you can go to stay with if need be?

Definitely do not stay in a relationship with him
Do not put his name on the birth certificate - this does not stop you claiming child maintenance from him.
Give baby your last name.

Try citizens advice? Or your local council? They may advise you/ help you or put you forward to someone who can ❤️

^ yes to your surname not his. Don't complicate your future because of him. Life will be much easier if your daughter has your surname. Don't be pressured or guilted into it by him or anyone else.

Citizens advice is another good suggestion.

Things can take a while to get moving, so contact people asap, even though I'm sure you'll find it hard. Find the courage now, and by the time your baby is born you and she will hopefully be safely away from him.

Visualise what your life could be like without him dragging you down, and hold onto that image when you call an organisation for help. It will be worth it.
