Silent treatment whilst pregnant

I am 8 months pregnant, my partner and I do not live together as we only met a year ago, we talk everyday on facetime and i stay at his maybe twice a week.

When I fell pregnant it was such a shock as I had to concieve my little girl through IVF and was told id never fall naturally. So i seen this as a little miracle. I was shaking with excitement when i told him as he said from day one if we ever fell pregnant then we would keep it as he didnt believe in abortion. So the day i told him i was on such a high, that was until he responded in sheer horror, saying I needed to get rid of it asap and contacted the abortion clinic himself despite me telling him I wanted to keep it. So he begged me to phone them and get an appointment just to see what they say, so I did, the appointment was 2 weeks away and deep down i knew i wasnt going to go but i respected his wishes and made the appointment anyway. So the day came and i told him i couldnt go, he said that was fine and he will stand by my decision. So from there he seemed pretty positive about the pregnancy. He said after talking it through with his work mates he discovered that it would have happened later down the line so we may as well go with it now (this annoyed me somehow). So ive basically done this pregnancy myself, ive not asked him for anything, ive not asked him for any help with daily tasks and i got the keys for my new flat the other day which he wanted to see. I took him along and he started insinuating he was moving in and its our place, he started fiddling with the boiler and broke it, to which i got upset as im so close to having this baby its the last thing i needed. He still lives at his parents and is desperate to have a place to stay. Im just not ready to live with him. Anyhoo, he got so annoyed with me telling him not to touch anything again in my flat and hes ghosted me 🙈, the last thing he said was he has been nothing but kind and helpful to me and thats how a treat him then he stopped talking to me, its like hes punishing me for setting boundaries. I knew something in my gut didnt sit right about him, im glad i didnt accept his begging to let him move in. Sorry for the long story, I needed to get it off my chest x

What would you guys have done during the roller-coaster of events ive had in the past year

He sounds like an absolute waste of space. Don’t let him move in. Don’t stay in a relationship with him.

Congratulations on your pregnancy; hope the last few weeks go smoothly for you with him out of the way. Enjoy your flat and your new baby.

I would get used to bring your new baby up alone.

Thank you so much for your kind words. I keep telling myself he was only brought into my life to bring me my little miracle. Thank you ❤️

How old is he? He sounds like a child

This should be a happy time. Silent treatment is abusive. Your going to have a new baby who will be loved

He is 27 and im 34, he is rather immature for his age x
