Boyfriend left me whilst pregnant and wondering whether to carry on?

[MNF2021]

Recently found out I am pregnant. My boyfriend at the time when we found out was very supportive and was over the mean - claiming this could be the best thing ever! Things quickly changed as well as his view and ultimately it led to him saying it’s now not the right timing - talk about getting my hopes up!
9 weeks into my pregnancy, he has left me - practically ignored me and slept with someone else so you can imagine how hurt I am.
I am wondering whether it’s right to continue with my pregnancy when someone has shown me their true colours and if I am emotionally upset and stressed out now what will it be like with a baby? Please help!

I agree. The actions are unforgivable especially him seeking comfort in someone else whilst I am pregnant.

Don't feel guilty OP. You do whatever it is you choose to do.

The ex doesn't even come into it.

I am in a stable position financially and have an excellent job with a great salary. BUT that has not come easy. I have worked so hard to let it all go out with window with this situation.

The baby’s father can’t help me and tbh I would not want to rely on him as look what he has shown me so far…

I am so sorry you are going through this.

You need to sit down and list your options. My advice is to get LEAGL advice e.g. from Citizens Advice (Adviceline (England): 0800 144 8848).

You will be entitled to a lot of help, both from the government AND from the father. He will be legally liable for child support. You need to make sure that you know what you are entitled to.

Also, you can reach out for help to a single parents charity, e.g. www.gingerbread.org.uk

I was in a similar situation and decided to terminate. I regret it deeply, even though it happened years ago.

Personally, I wouldn't bring a baby into the world knowing from the start that they will have such a shit father.

I should clarify, I wasn't saying one would not regret if enough time went on - just that I thought I'd do it and move on and instead I've experienced years of emotional pain...

Personally, I would terminate in these circumstances. But of course it's up to you OP. Good luck with your decision

I know this is an old post. But im curious to know what you decided on as im in a very similar situation and totally mind boggled x

Forget the male.

do you want a baby. If so go for it. You have raised 1 on your own so you know what to do! Good luck 🤞
