ugh venting

My pregnancy was unexpected, the dad is stressed out bc we dont have r own house and he has two kids already and i dont have a job. He wanted me to abort it when we first found out but i couldnt... the past week and a half or so he seemed like he was finally coming around, well todays my first sonogram and he doesnt want to go, he says i can just go with my mom. Idk what to do anymore.

It's going to be hard for him.. just go with your mom, & maybe when you get home he'll come around & be excited. It is very stressful when one doesn't have a job (I'm on bed rest & my boyfriend is laid off until the beginning of April) & it's super stressful. But we are managing that's all that matters.. once he gets past the "omg" stage he'll come around :)

Unplanned pregnancy is hard and it is difficult on a man because he has no say.  That's just reality.  They aren't always excited and as an already father, he knows the expense and stress of it and wasn't wanting to go down this path with you at this point.  Maybe he will come around and maybe he won't.  But you want your baby and are making the best of the situation and that is what you have to focus on.   He's just not that into it at this point and may never be.  So, won't it be nicer to be with your supportive mom who may have enthusiasm over the pregnancy than him along very reluctantly?  

When a women is in this situation, she has to stay within reality.  He's not into this and has no choice.  You're driving the bus.  He may or may not ever get on the bus.  But you just keep driving your bus to the final destination.  It will be okay.  Keep your eyes on the road and don't let this other stuff distract you from a good plan of how to take care of this baby.  good luck

Its hard for a man to not be able to provide he feels ashamed/embarrassed i know he is in the wrong but you have to kind of baby him lol i know this is hard but its a blessing things will work out were a team etc... if he doesnt step up and be more supportive and involved hes most likely just an @*** sorry your in a tough spot hope things work out
