so about a week ago I had an argument with my boyfriend, picked him up from his nans house to go carvery. I have a new car so I said to him "do you like my new car?" he said "yeah its alright" which I thought was quite rude he hardly didn't talk the way there the only thing he said was "how you doing for savings then?" I then said "yh I'm doing fine how about you?" he said "don't worry about me worry about yourself" so we got into the carvery sat down got our table and that, it all got a bit heated and he told me "if you leave now, I will never speak to you again" I told him "b*llocks" and left the carvery without. there has been a string of rows recently, he ruined my first scan by being rude throughout which left me in a bad mood. was I being unreasonable to leave him in a restaurant and walk out?

You could have fired "that's not an acceptable way to speak to me, so I am leaving" though.

If you want to swear that's fine, but if it's your normal way of shouting at each other, then in context him telling you to fuck off possibly isn't as bad as it would be if you didn't both communicate by losing it and swearing at each other.

It just sounds like you don't like each other, and have reached the point where you can't say say anything without it being the wrong thing. He didn't do anything wrong commenting on the the £13.90 food, for example - so it's obvious that everything you both say is angering the other one.

I doubt very much that at age 19 and 20 and not even living together, you planned to have a baby. That pressure could blast apart a strong couple, let alone a young one who probably haven't a long history together.

That's why I think you should split up and let each other calm down. Any time you spend together at the moment is just going to end in arguments, because you're not happy together. You have far more chance of co-parenting well if you don't spend the next 5 months tearing strips off each other.
