Partner not interested in baby/pregnancy

[Aryd22lemon]

Just wanted advice if anyone has a similar situation.
I'm 17 weeks pregnant, We've wanted this baby for so long, following 4 miscarriages. Been together 7 years.

But ever since I found out I was pregnant this time my partner has shown no interest. Any time I bring up baby developments I just get ignored.

He works from home but leaves it all to do in the eve when I'm home and is always "busy", and has started sleeping on the couch almost every night.

When I ask him to stop smoking in the house as it makes me feel sick he gets really stubborn and just continues.
All this makes me cry every day, he sees me cry and ignores it. Just feel so alone and want to share it with him.

If anyone has any advice Id really appreciate it. I feel like leaving but I can't, maybe it will it change when baby is here?

I really doubt he'll change. I'm biased because I was in an abusive relationship and it got worse when I was pregnant and again when the baby arrived.

To give him the benefit of the doubt he may be, worrying after 4 miscarriages that it will go wrong again.

Smoking in the house is harmful to your child. He needs to be told that.

Why can't you leave?. If you can list why you feel you cannot leave then talking about the obstacles you face could help you overcome them. This situation is not going to change nor improve any once the child is born. He is selfishness personified and only cares about his own self.

You use the word partner re him; he is no partner to you. Personally speaking I would give this child your surname going forward rather than his and raise this child on your own.

Something needs to be done about the smoking so don't give up on that one as your child needs protecting. I was born into a house of smokers and ended up in hospital needing a machine to help me breathe. I was about 7 and without the hospital I would've died. An extreme example but it highlights the seriousness of smoking nonetheless.
