Hi,
my partner split up with me 12 weeks into my pregnancy. He has said that he wants to be involved with the baby, I have posted about this before.
However, currently we are going through a period of no-contact (at my request) as some of the texts etc I was getting from him were very toxic, causing me a lot of stress which I do not need whilst being heavily pregnant. Of course I have kept him informed of anything to do with the pregnancy when needed.
I have removed him off social media, however my friends still have him and one told me today that he is constantly posting pictures of him on nights out with girls etc, planning camping trips, basically seeming like he's living his best life. A major part of us breaking up was the fact that he did not want his life to change as a result of the pregnancy; he wanted to keep living his life going out etc and not have to look after a pregnant woman; I suffered very badly with morning sickness in my first trimester and spent most of it (aside from when I could go to work) in bed.
I am struggling with this- I feel I have made so many sacrifices (as every pregnant woman does), my life has completely changed and honestly I have been extremely lonely going through pregnancy without a partner, meanwhile his life has not changed at all and then he gets to swoop in when the baby is born. He has not had to deal with any of the hard parts of pregnancy or preparing for the baby. I am so excited to have a baby; I would make these sacrifices time and time again and I know I get to experience the lovely parts of pregnancy such as feeling my baby move but there has been very tough times also.
I just wondered if anybody had navigated a similar situation and had any advice?
