leaving the husband

So I have been going back and forth on leaving my husband since we found out I was pregnant. Hes not exactly a great guy, hes verbally and emotionally abusive, bipolar, and likes to constantly fight. I can't even remember the last time we slept together as he's been sleeping on the couch and I alone in the room. He's always on his laptop playing video games and what not and completely ignores me. He doesn't care about the baby or the fact that we are at risk of losing it. All he does is constantly scream at me for being lazy and not working. He's always stressing me out and makes me feel like I'm just a huge burden to him. I'm tired of feeling like I'm unwanted and honestly think I'd be better off alone. I don't know if my hormones are making me feel this way or I have a legit reason to leave. My parents are my only real support system and they want me to leave my husband because they're worried about my pregnancy ending in another miscarriage.  I just don't know what to do ladies.

I do want to leave. I have for a long time now, I just haven't. He plans on visiting his family out of state in a few weeks so while he's gone I'm going to go ahead and move out. If I wait til then I know it won't be so hard cuz he's going to put up a fight. I'm just ready for it to be over.

It sounds like you have made up your mind. Do what you need to do to protect the little one inside of you. Right now, that means as little stress as possible. Which to me, seems like it would mean relying on your family a little bit more and your husband a lot less. Only you can decide if this is the end for you two, but I know that the emotional stress he is putting on you is not safe for your baby

Please take my advice and trust when i tell you i m going through the same thing. you do have a liget reason to leave and you need to feel good your pregnant and thats hard enough to go through but without the support and love from your husband its almost pointless. im in the same spot my husband is the same way im just scared to leave. I have a 7 year old and a 3 month old sonand now im 5 weeks pregnant again but my husband is a piece if ****. And it sounds like you already have it figured out and your mind made up on what you want and need to do. please leave him you will be so much happier and withot all the stress he is causing you you probley will have the greatest pregnancy wihot having to worry about misscarrige. so keep me pisted im hear for you if you need to tLk good luck

Sounds miserable. I personally would be done whether there was a pregnancy involved or not. But in all, you shouldn't have to deal with anything that stresses you enough to miscarry. Good thing you have a decent support system with your family! No one should take your happy
