Today my boyfriend of a year asked if I wanted to break up because I got upset after knocking water over me I went upstairs to get change and walked into a fan resulting in cutting my hand blood was everywhere from a small cut so I sat upstairs upset as I’m 30 weeks pregnant and keep haveing dizzy spells that I’m being monitored for so I’m finding it difficult to get my balance somtimes no one came up to see if I was ok which made things worse when I mentioned this to my boyfriend he went off on one this isn’t the first time this has happened now he wants to dump me at 30 week pregnant for getting upset?? This is my fourth child and his first

After having 3 children did you not figure out how you made them?

That's unhelpful, @MikeUniformMike.

Frankly, @Raindrop6, he does NOT sound like a keeper. And you sound confused enough to reinforce this: you seem worn down and worn out.

Hang on, so you cut yourself, your dizzy and upset that no-one thought to check on you, but he's having a go at you?

What else does he 'go off on one' about?

As gently as possible: it sounds like you threw a bit of a hormonal wobbly over a non-issue (spilling water); and then cut yourself without him knowing but still expected him to come and check you were okay when he had no reason to think you weren’t; and then got upset again with him because he didn’t come to check when he had no reason to.

No doubt this is all largely due to pregnancy hormones, but it is probably maddening for him to be on the receiving end of. It also sounds like you didn’t know each other very long before you became pregnant, and now you know each other a bit better it isn’t all necessarily good, would that be a fair assessment?

So instead of apologising and saying he should have thought to come up to see you were ok and giving you a big hug - he shouts at you and threatens to dump you...when you are 30 weeks pregnant. What a gem OP. … …

Sorry but what you do is beat him to the punch. Partners are supposed to make your life easier or at least, happier. Doesn't sound like he does either.

No it's not helpful but nobody has to make a baby with someone they've known for only a few weeks.
Asking if you wanted to break up was horrible of him and he should be more supportive.
Good luck with the baby.

do you live together. if you don't you can have space from him and he can still parent his child.
