well, he's left and given me back the keys etc
and now im shitting it,
we have a 3 year old and i am 24 weeks pregnant with dc2
He was pretty useless when DS was born, but we didn't live together back then (i lived with my parents, then temporary accommodation until ds was almost 2) and i put it down to that.
but even so, I don't know how I'm going to cope on my own with a 3 year old and a new baby!? or when i go into labour I'd not have anyone to call etc

I don't even have friends, i mean i have a couple but they don't have children and can't really be bothered with me so we're not really close these days.

I don't really want to be a pregnant single parent at 25, i feel like i should have my life 'together' by now not in this same (but worse) shit situation i was in 3 fucking years ago.

Oh love, I'm so sorry. What happened for him to return the keys?

abbinob · 06/12/2016 20:45

Well, I told him to leave and give me back my keys.. so that bit is my fault definitely.
We had a massive argument and it just kind of esculated into that but now I'm freaking out because I don't know what to do, I know it's probably the right thing but it's scary

Have you much support, family /friends close by? How will you be financially? You absolutely CAN do this, but of course it's frightening. Does he support your DS financially?

He should still be supporting you with the children, regardless of whether you're together or not, he's still a father. He should be looking after the 3yo while you're in labour and regularly on a timetable (50% of the time or whatever you agree).

Financially will be OK I guess, I rent so can get housing benefit and I work part time and can apply for tax credits etc.
I rent from housing association and the tenancy is in my name too so that makes things easier..

I have no idea how much help he will be, but probably not much to be honest seeing as that's a lot of why we were arguing in the first place. I know he is likely already on tinder or whatever and will try and rub other women in my face for the rest of this pregnancy, he is predictable like that I just need to make sure I ignore all that and focus on ds and the baby/pregnancy.

I just feel like a big giant fat lonely loser right now and he can just go and get on with his life, go out etc and I'm stuck at home pregnant on my own

Sorry to hear op but be strong you will be fine do you have friends that can support you during this time it's a emotional time as it is

Sounds like my ex!

I am in the same boat as you, except I'm pregnant with DC1, a bit pissed off he's able to go out and do what he likes!

However, we both have a beautiful baby on the way and! You have your DC1 to accompany you!
