Hope someone can offer some advice.
My partner of 3 years and I have been inseparable since we've met. We planned to start a family this year and are in the process of buying a home (in my name) so we can raise our family.
I am currently 12 weeks pregnant. About 3 weeks ago after our private scan at 8 weeks he started distancing himself from me. Was feeling a little overwhelmed and has been furloughed for the last year so lockdown is really getting to him. So I've given him some space, but I've expressed my worry about our relationship that he's not communicating with me and trying to work things out.
The day of our 12 week scan he told me we were a team but then later in the day he told me that he wanted a break!! He said he still loves me and it's not me it's him. Said I mean the world to him. But he needed a few days to think.
So I haven't talked to him and have been going to work and keeping out of the way as we live together. But he's been checking in making sure I'm ok and buying me snacks from the shop and texting me while I'm at work.
This is making me really confused. Does he still love me? Or is this his way of an easy out? Starting with a break and then will just wait until our house has gone through so I can move on alone.
This has come out of the blue, it's like a switch and he's now gone from being attentive and inseparable to not wanting to be with me.
Is he only doing nice things because he's feeling bad?
I'm really scared of the prospect of raising a child alone. This wasn't how it was meant to be, we were supposed to be starting this journey together, I'm scared and anxious too but we were meant to do this together. It's our first baby. I'm scared for my future and my baby.
