Boyfriend abandoned me during miscarriage

I'm not really sure why I'm typing this here I just must get it out.
Monday, I found out I was going to miscarry-again.
My boyfriend who I've been with a year knew I previously had a missed miscarriage in August 2019 as when we built the trust in the relationship we spoke about things naturally as couples do. He's always been understanding and understood how important it was to me and how I still find it traumatic, always very supportive with it and assured me he was looking forward to having our family one day, I've always expressed concern about miscarrying again and he promised he would always be there for me. Don't get me wrong our relationship was far from perfect but love made it happen.
Anyway, I found out I was pregnant Saturday 3rd October after being late, over emotional and absolutely exhausted. Straight away I knew I was keeping it. I told him, we argued and he would not shut up about me getting an abortion so I did hear him out but I told him the trauma of a miscarriage last year I just wouldn't lose a baby again optionally or not, he slept with me, he ended it with me, we were still talking him telling me I'm ruining his life and trapping him.
On Thursday I had to go to the hospital I had a bad feeling! Cramping and spotting, he took me, and since he wasn't allowed in because of corona he sat outside and was texting me "I love you I do want a baby with you, we're gonna be a family I don't want to lose you, I can't have you going through any pain or trauma" and I believed him, he isn't very good with his emotions at all, so I got it took him a while.
Then he took me away for the weekend to take my mind off it til my scan Monday, he didn't take the day off to take me despite me crying and asking him (he's self employed he works when he wants) he said "money's important I like money" so I became upset, probably hormonal. I dropped it, whilst away we were looking at houses online and it felt great he said to get a 3 bed instead of a 2 because we might want another! He then told me he would take me Monday. Sunday night we were home and laying in bed and he began to become nasty said "I don't want your fucking kid I don't want kids yet" all that stuff "I was just trying to be a happy family"
Fast forward to Monday he got up and went to work, I found out later I was going to miscarry.
He came to mine and hugged me and held me, he told me even though he didn't want it he cared about me, he then said that "I only got back with you for the kid not just for the kid but mostly " and just other nasty things I can't really remember because I just felt numb about going to miscarry. He kept coming onto me and in my weird head I thought he might love me still so I slept with him I think it was just to feel close to him. I woke up crying at 2am and he told me to "stop crying I'm trying to sleep you will be fine" he did hug me
Then on Tuesday he didn't come over, the pains and cramps started and the heavy bleeding and I said to him asking if he could call me before bed so I could hear his familiar voice because I was scared and he said "I'm busy watching a film, after" I explained what was going on and he said "hope you're okay but you'll get through it" I went on my phone to distract me and saw he was on Instagram liking half naked photos of girls he claimed were his friends when I asked him, they weren't, they are girls he's slept with before me he just forgot he told me when we first got together. We discussed boundaries when we got together and that was one of them.
Anyway, he asked if I needed anything so I said some pain killers and pads would be great and maybe some food as I forgot to eat from when I found out I was going to miscarry (I know I expected a lot but I just forgot) he said he couldn't be bothered to bring me any pain killers or pads and I'll be fine, and he's too tired to get up and bring me some and to talk to me. So I broke up with him, I broke up with him. Very nicely. Told him how traumatised I was and how much I was hurting and I just needed to be held and he just kept on about getting his phone charger. He cane before work in the morning to get it and didn't say a word to me that was nice just "you've got no respect" so I told him he was a fucking disgrace.
Yesterday I begged and begged him to bring me some pads and explained I was passing big clots and was in agony and such emotional turmoil and he said "sorry I'm not the man for you baby I wish I was there to support you"
He never brang them. I texted about 50 times today and rang (stupid, I know) but the one person that loves you is supposed to be there he said I finished it with him so I didn't need him to bring me pads, whats he supposed to do about a miscarriage I'll get over it and he genuinely does not care about me anymore.
He said I was pathetic and acting crazy and a joke. He's gotten over me and I should do the same. I begged him to keep it a secret. He said he will but kept telling me to fuck off and laughing at me saying he doesn't want anything to with me anymore.
I don't know why I posted all of this, I'm so broken. I know I finished it with him, and I believe I did the right thing, but I'm in such pain I don't know what to do. Sorry for rambling x

Oh OP I'm so sorry you're hurting Flowers

You deserve so much better than this joke of a "man". Please realise that his actions and behaviour show what a loser he is, not you. You put your trust in him and believed him when he said he loved you and would support you. Why would you not? You sound like an honest, kind and caring person. Unfortunately he has not been straight with you and has clearly strung you along.

Do you have someone IRL you can call for support? Your mum, best friend, family member?

I think you should block this wanker and go no contact. Try not to give him another second of your emotional energy.

Please be very kind to yourself right now and take all the time you need to recover.

I'm so sorry to hear about the miscarriage. Have you got friends close by who can help you, or bring things to you as needed? Do you need to see a doctor or phone the local EPU for advice? What did the hospital say (re: what to do) when you went in on the Thursday and the following Monday?
As for the ex, I think that you've dodged a bullet there. He's shown you who he really is, and hopefully one day you will see what a lucky escape you had from this tosser.

Mysa74 · 16/10/2020 11:57

Oh, op ! You deserve so much more. Hard as it is don't give him another thought.
Do you have anyone who can help you?
Keep venting, let all those feelings out xxx
Have a huge (((hug))) from me...

LCAthrow · 16/10/2020 12:06

@EvenMoreFuriousVexation
Thank you for your kind reply, it just feels so heavy because we're both from the same small town etc. I can not believe I trusted him. I am so shocked and I don't know it's me that feels guilty! I feel so guilty like I've done something wrong to him.

My brother and best friend have been very supportive, my brother brung me pads and hot water bottles and told me I need to let him go..I know I made the mistake of phone calls and texts last night but I have blocked him now, even though there's no point because he won't want to talk to me anyway.

I just wish he didn't behave that way with Instagram as well because miscarriages make you feel very inferior and ugly.
Thank you so much for talking to me, I appreciate it xxxxx

OP, what's happened to you is really sad and not fair.
However, you're well rid of that man, he showed his true colors and they weren't pretty...
No one deserves to be treated the way he treated you. He sounds utterly vile.
You're not crazy. He's just a horrible person (clearly completely out of his depth, and blaming you for it)

Try to go and see a doctor (or at least talk to your GP on the phone), you may be in need of medical assistance.

Kaiserin · 16/10/2020 12:15

Seen your update. Glad there's people in your life being truly supportive Flowers
That's how decent people behave. And it's the least you deserve.

Shoxfordian · 16/10/2020 12:17

He's a horrible excuse for a man
Really
You've done exactly the right thing

Anordinarymum · 16/10/2020 12:25

I am truly sorry you had a miscarriage. I have lost children too and know the pain,

I think you have wanted to have children when it's more than clear he does not. It reads to me like you trapped him in to this. You previously had a missed miscarriage in August 2019 so the relationship with one man was over and another new one begun with you getting pregnant again ?
You should take some time out before you meet someone else, and you should let this guy go.
None of this would have ever worked out.

SoulofanAggron · 16/10/2020 12:54

So sorry for your loss. Flowers

Please block him and don't get back with him.

Hesfamousforit · 16/10/2020 14:59

He's a total scum bag. How absolutely horrible for you. What a selfish cunt. I want to slap him for you.

Sorry you have gone through another mc FlowersCakeBrewFlowers

Do not take that scum bag back.

MMmomDD · 16/10/2020 15:42

OP - I am sorry you have had a miscarriage.

However - you seem to be rushing into having kids. If your last miscarriage was in Aug 2019 - you barely had time to go and find another person. A relationship of a year is not enough to really get to know someone. And this is exactly what happened. He showed his true colours.

Generally - if you are in a relationship but haven’t yet decided to marry - then you are not ready to have kids.
Having a child is a much bigger commitment than a marriage.
So - next time - don’t rush into anything unless you just want a child and are OK with being a single mother. Which you might be, and there isn’t anything wrong with it.

Separately - as you have had two miscarriages - get your GP to refer you for some tests. So that they can maybe figure out what is going on.

LCAthrow · 16/10/2020 15:43

@Anordinarymum

I was not in a relationship my last miscarriage, it was a horrific time of my life.
I went on the pill straight after and have been taking it as and when I should this was definitely not to trap him, it was purely a fluke. I knew I wasn't ready to become pregnant with somebody I was with a year only as we had so much to do. But I did-so had to deal with it and the situation and make choices

@MMmomDD
Thank you.
No I wasn't rushing I was on the pill and only thought I was pregnant because of symptoms, and when I went on my break I had no period.

Thank you I will speak to my GP
