I’m honestly at the end of my tether with my partner.
We’ve been together for 3 years. I’m 5 months pregnant with his baby but have 2 kids from a previous marriage. Current partner says he sees 2 current children as his own, he even requests I don’t call them his step kids as, although legally they’re not his kids, he sees them as his. My 2 children don’t have any contact with their biological father as he decided to fuck off from their lives 2 years ago. Myself and current partner don’t live together yet.
Myself and current partners relationship has been quite rocky the past few months. Mainly because I feel like he’s not pulling is weight by helping out around the house or helping enough with the kids. Every time we have a fall out he retreats to his bolt hole, leaving me pregnant and looking after the 2 kids on my own. No or barely any contact, even though the kids both have their own mobiles. It’s like he makes them suffer when we’ve fell out.
We had a fall out on Tuesday and again he’s fucked off. He sent the kids a text last night asking if they were behaving....they replied “yes” and he’s ignored them since. They’ve been asking me when he’s coming back over to stay and I’ve been making excuses that he’s busy with work.
I sent him a text earlier saying does he not think he should be making an effort to see the kids as he’s not seen them all week and they’re asking for him. That was 2 hours ago - no reply. Now his phones off. I know he’s going to come back later tonight or tomorrow with some bullshit excuse.
I really don’t know what to do about this. My head is telling me he is a total waste of space and to show him some cold hard reality by slinging him to fuck - which I absolutely would do if I wasn’t pregnant.
Any advice?
