Pregnant & fiancé walked out - who else has this happened to?

Hi all, just curious as to how many more women this has happened to? My fiancé left me this week, I'm 7 months pregnant.

I'm just nosey & want to hear from others that this has happened to, and how you managed
To cope.

Right now I feel positive, I can do this on my own but I know there is going to be a time when I'm alone & lonely & it all dawns on me that I'm in this alone.

Xx

I am sorry that this has happened to you. There seem to have been several threads on this lately, where a man has walked out on his pregnant partner :(

You need to look into tax credits and finances do that you know what you can get when baby is born so it will be one thing off your mind.

Keep contact with your X to a minimum to avoid upsetting yourself more than necessary and obviously get as much support as you can from friends and family.

Also sorry this has happened to you. Skye is right, there have been lots of similar threads lately, if you do a board search you'll find others in the same situation in addition to those who reply to your own thread.
Get whatever support you can.

Mummy2014 I am so sorry this has happened to you. Ensuring your emotional support network and financial stability are key initial steps at this time.

This happened to me when I was 39wks pregnant. Although it was devastating at the time it turned out to be for the best.

Take one day at a time ensuring you look after yourself and baby. Keep contact with your EX on your terms and frequency and don't be manipulated in anyway. You sound strong minded and prepared so hang in there.

Mine walked out 3 days after giving birth & I was still in hospital. I have only seen him once since when he collected his stuff. This happened nearly 3 years ago & looking back I just wish he had of left sooner, as he made my whole pregnancy the most stressful time of my life.
Life is good now, working & getting working tax credits, which is a massive help. I don't miss him, I just feel sorry for my DD not having a Dad.

Mine did, albeit 20 years ago! My one mistake was taking him back, as with 4 months of my dc birth I was leaving HIM. No regrets, life isn't too shabby as a single mum, if the alternative is to be in a bad relationship.
