stressed out

I am so emotional lately and my boyfriend/father of our baby isn't helping he stresses me out more than anything else. We've been through a lot and I care about him but I don't know if he will ever change its beyond frustrating. I'm almost 12 weeks now so we have awhile to go before the baby is here. He's a great guy just doesn't make the best decisions or realize his actions, he's always with friends doing whatever we don't spend time together yet we live together. I'm terrified he will or is cheating bec he has before. I just am constantly worrying:( Has anyone else had this problem

Your not the only one im turnin 12 weeks tomorrow going through the same thing. Best advice try to keep yourself busy. Try rubbing your belly and reading pregnancy quotes that help me connect with my baby. I'm even looking for a yogo class for pregnant women. If your interested in doing things that includes stress free place. your boyfriend shouldn't have a problem with you having time for yourself

I told my bf that if he didn't want to be around me or step up to the plate to leave and when out daughter asks about her daddy I'm going to tell her that he would rather live his life as a free man than be there for her. and if he thinks I'm bluffing I'll show him who's boss and prove him wrong. step up to him and he'll back down, maybe not at first but eventually he will

Thank you so much I needed that. Because I feel so alone one min he's here the next he's with friends.. we constantly fight and of course he blames me and my emotions. I've told him to get out so many times bec I don't know if I can do it anymore. He doesn't understand bec he isn't going through anything really and he isn't working I already told him he has 2 weeks to get a job bec I'm tired of paying for everything and he doesn't respect me. He wonders why I'm always mad at him if I did what he did he would be mad to but doesn't see that just thinks I'm being ridiculous of course. What made your man finally come around and get his s*** together?

having a father in your babies life is important, but having a dead beat like him isn't. all he did was help make the baby, and who is the one doing all the work now? you. and that's so unfair to put you through all this stress. I know you love him and it's hard, but if I can do it so can you. if he wants to change he will and if he loves you he'll stop acting like a child and grow up. Stay strong, and don't be afraid to stand up to him

I WAS IN THIS EXACT POSITION OHH MY GOD!!! FINALLY SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS! I am 38 weeks and just recently my man changed his actions && got his **** together. but for the longest he wasn't doing anything except smoking and hanging out with friends, sometimes wouldn't even bother coming home because he knew I would be mad. I always have a fear of him cheating because the ladies are all over him like flies, and I never know who all he's around during the days he's out and about. We have gotten into SO many fights it's un funny, and I've threatened to kick him out 3 times I packed his bags and everything told him to get out. I just had enough and even though I love him to death I told him I no longer cared, that I was falling out of love with him, I was done and if he really cared he would try as hard as I am to contribute to the pregnancy. You do so much when pregnant with your body changing, and growing a human being all at the same time. all he has to do is work to provide for you and be around to help. So when you feel like you can't take anymore, sit and think like it did. is he really worth hating yourself over to the point you cry everyday and wish he would change? or are you worth more than a side option when he's not around his friends
