Me and my boyfriend have been together nearly two years now and have a little girl who is 5 months old. The relationship itself is far far from perfect theirs a lot of arguing and fighting. We had a massive argument yesterday and he threatened to leave I asked him to stay as I just had a procedure in hospital and could hardly walk and I need him to be their to help our little girl. I feel completely stupid begging him to stay. He was saying some very hurtful stuff such as it's more hassle than it's worth leaving and he feels trapped in the relationship and if we didn't have our wee girl we probably wouldn't be together. I don't want someone staying with me but they don't really want to be their multiple times after it I told him I could find help else where if that's really what he wants he can go and said no but most of the time he just tells me what I want not to upset me any advice?

I think that relationships change when a baby arrives.
You both need to sit down calmly and discuss how you want to proceed.
Make sure your ducks are in a row though, as he might be using this as an excuse to end it.

I think you got pregnant very early in a relationship and most likely, this relationship would not have carried on if you hadn't been pregnant, and now have a DD. If it doesn't make either of you happy, then perhaps it's time to consider a separation so that you can both be good parents to your DD and not drag her through years of fighting and unhappiness.

If you haven't even been together two years yet, you got pregnant very early on. Me and my bf have been together the same amount of time but we still think of it as a new relationship, and treat each other with love and respect. It doesn't look like you two are going to stay together much longer. Its going to end, and probably it would be better sooner rather than later.
