Words of support/advice

Hi, I'm 14 weeks pregnant & recently I've become so emotional all the time. Literally all I do is cry. My partner and I have been arguing a lot and shows me no support at all. He doesn't help around the house, I'm like his personal taxi, he smokes around me (when I have stopped after 10 years) and work full time when he is unemployed. I don't know what to do, I dont know whether to just shut up and get on with it so my baby can have both parents around or call it a day. I have a very supportive family who will look after me regardless of my situation. Some advice would be very much appreciated. Thanks x

Such a hard thing.  Doesn't sound like a man with any ambition, pride or drive in life which is hard to have that as your future.  I'd also cut yourself free of it because raising one child is hard enough (your baby) without a second child (your non- partner partner).  good luck hon, this is a hard situation.

I personally think you and your baby deserve to be around someone who respects you and looks after you rather than treat you like that. If he cared about you and his baby he wouldn't be smoking around you for one and for two making sure your pregnancy is relaxed and calm at all times. If he is like that now, what is he going to be like around the baby? I hope you figure it out but I honestly think you deserve to be treated better. Take care
