Hi im currently 15 weeks pregnant ...early on in the pregnancy i lost all feelings for my partner..we both live separately.. with all my heart I want us to separate but feel I can not .. ive been struggling for a while to pay rent & bills on my own ..i do not have much family around me but the family i do have is pushing me to live with my partner for financial reasons ...and im feeling forced to live with him even though I know it will end up in disaster.. the friends I do have also think I should try and make it work ...I feel miserable and depressed every day ...crying daily and feel very alone .. I do not have anyone I can turn to talk about this with as everyone is on the same page that I should move in with him.. we both live in studio apartments so we would need to move into a new apartment ..my family is telling me to stick it out with him for a couple years so he can help me with the baby and for finances ...I deeply feel this is wrong on him but everyone around me is saying its unfair to break up with him now and that its not fair that he wont see the baby much if we are broken up ...my family send me links to properties to go view and I have no desire to go ...I would be happy to breakup and live on my own if i wasnt feeling presssured .I do not know where to go from here and everyday I feel im closer to breaking down ..we also do not have any parents on both our sides so looking after the baby would be solely on me

The only person who’s opinion matters here is yours OP. Live where you want to live, with who you want to live with. Unless your family are going to be paying your bills they don’t get a vote.

Absolutely this!

Have you looked into whether you'd be eligible for any benefits/financial support as a single parent? Remember that the other parent would be expected to contribute financially even if you're not together - though appreciate it's not always as simple as that.
