Why now

I guess I'm writing here because I don't want to talk to anyone about this.

I've just found out I'm pregnant. Bit of a back story but it will be vague. Been with partner for many year's, had a miscarriage several year's ago. Had tried for a further 3 years with no success.

Resigned myself to the fact a family with partner was off the table, went back on contraception. We got a couple of dog's, moved to a small house and life went on.

Now this, and I feel we are no longer in that place. He's some year's older and know he will feel past it. My children are far past the age of needing me as much. Plus would need to move which in itself may not be possible. I just feel sad. Had this been several year's ago maybe we could have made it work.

I've not even told him. Just feel like I should quietly deal with it to save the stress When I know how he will feel about it. I just feel lost and stressed. Not really asking for anything I suppose.

You should definitely tell your partner, it sounds like you could use the support. I'm sure between you it can be figured out. Just do whatever feels right for you and your partner. As for why now? Just bad timing, it happens in life. Good luck x

So sorry you feel sad and conflicted O.P. but do speak to your partner, you will need his support whatever you decide. Wishing you all the best with your decision.

Please tell your partner that his reaction might surprise you. 😮 It's his baby too.
