Hi everyone - the title says it all really. I'm pregnant and confused and looking for some advice (and possibly a kick up the butt it needed!)
I've been with my partner for 18 months. 6 months into the relationship his visa for the UK expired and so I came with him to the other side of the world to start a new life together. I'm currently 6 months pregnant and whilst it was unplanned he has been incredible and is so excited about the baby. He's been incredibly loving and supportive since I got here and some days I think I couldn't be happier.
BUT (you knew that was coming didn't you!). Last October (before I became pregnant) I found out that when we were back in the UK and had been dating for only about 2 months he slept with another woman whilst I was away. I was devastated when I found out - I'd given up my life in the UK for him and was so angry as I felt I'd done it under false pretenses. He was very apologetic and said he'd give me all the time I needed to work out what I wanted to do. I decided to stay until after Christmas............and then in January I found out I was pregnant.
I love him so much and really do think he's an amazing person. He treats me so well, has been incredible throughout the pregnancy and when I'm with him I couldn't be happier. But when we're apart (I travel a bit for work which involves a night or two away every few weeks) I start to have really bad thoughts and question whether I was an idiot to stay with him.
Sorry this is so long - just looking for some of your thoughts as I'm feeling lonely and confused by how someone who makes me so happy can also make me feel so sad.
