i’m 22 weeks pregnant and my boyfriend has suddenly started acting so cold towards me and told me today he’s in a bad place and needs space from me and the situation. for context we are young, we don’t yet live together and i got pregnant only a few months into our relationship. i know our situation isn’t the best and maybe we were naive in our decision but i’m trying to make things as good as they can be for our baby and i am so glad everyday that there was never a doubt in my mind that i would be continuing this pregnancy. he was super supportive and happy up until about a month ago when he started seeming uninterested in baby, never asking questions and seeming borderline fed up whenever i mentioned anything baby-related, never asking questions. i mention things we need to buy and he just brushes it off, he’s bought him one outfit since we found out i was pregnant. he opened up to me and admitted he is terrified, both about becoming a dad and about the financial/housing situation. he has avoided me for the past week and been going out to the pub to ‘sort his head out’. he told me today he is not in a good headspace mentally and doesn’t want to see me until he feels differently, he said he is not excited at all about the baby and even feels like he doesn’t want him. he feels like we’ve rushed things and ruined our lives, he said i’m pushing him away when i react to this response. i am at an absolute cross roads on what to do. i don’t know whether to just let him be and give him the space he says he needs. i am heartbroken he feels this way and don’t know what’s happened to cause this, i just want him to sort his head out. i feel so guilty for my baby boy that i’m bringing into a life like this and that his dad doesn’t want him, i just want my happy family like we spoke about. i feel so lonely and hurt. has anyone else experienced anything similar to this? i know this is quite extreme, has anyone’s partners come back round?
