Do it on your own. No need in having the dead weight around if it's not to you and your child's benefit. If you can't trust him you don't need him. I'm pregnant and single by choice since my second month. My first child. . Sure I'm afraid but I would rather worry about taking care of myself and my child than to deal with all the extra that a partner brings along.

My partner and I are having a very hard time. We are both happy about the pregnancy but we have very verbally abusive arguments that start over almost every little thing and I hate myself for it because I know my only responsibility is to stay healthy and calm for the baby right now. I would blame it on the hormones but we have been like this for almost 3 years now. I'm only about 8 weeks and I'm very nervous about a miscarriage but I don't want to be apart from him. Counseling isn't affordable right now and we both have very full schedules. Trust issues aren't even really the problem, it just feels like we genuinely hate each other sometimes because we have such different opinions about everything. I don't know how to handle this. I'm sorry for not being much help but I appreciated the honesty of your post and just wanted you to remember that not all relationships are perfect but no matter what, your children will be.

I agree with Sarah. It's such a hard decision...one I've seen a lot of people have to make. I know that when the baby comes It doesn't make things better. I don't know the entire situation but I do know this...you can do it alone! You are strong....your are beautiful....and no one...and I mean no one needs to have a partner to love and care for there child. Having a partner in the picture is what we all want and hope for...but reality sometimes is that the best way to care for your child is to love yourself too. You will know what the right thing to do is. Either way you have support even if we are just strangers....we can RELATE and we understand. You will be fine and your baby Will be happy because he or she has a mom that loves them and will put them above all else. You will be a great mom...single or not! Keep your chin up...it Will work out!

You need to do whats best for you and your baby and if it is being a single mother than do it. It will be hard but im sure you are strong and can get through it for your babies sake. Sometimes the scariest choice is the best. Good luck momma just think about it because only you know what is best for your little one.
