Single mom pep talk please??
So I'm 31 weeks and it's starting to become very apparent in going to be going at this alone. I have been with my boyfriend for about 2 years. He is a very selfish person.. Most of our relationship has been anwhole lot of giving on my part and not much on his. By the time I was 7 weeks pregnant I was severly sick with HG. I dropped down to 90 pounds, I couldn't keep anything down most days from week 7 to 20. I was in and out of hospital pretty frequently for iv fluids and meds, and have still been off and on since then but it's been a bit more managed with meds. So I haven't been able to work per my doctors orders (Not that I could even work right now if I tried!) and I have been reliant on him to pay our bills, being rent and our car payment. The car is under my name and he wasn't able to lake the payment for 4 months so my credit got shot and my car almost got repod. I had to borrow so much from my dad to get by, and my boyfriend only works on average 3 days a week and he spends his days off either playing golf or playing video games. This month he decided to play in 2 tournaments that costed him 400 dollars, along with a couple new outfits for himself and eating out regularly (meanwhile I literally have 4 dresses that fit me that I rotate through). Well today he tells me that we are nearly 400 short on rent that is due.. He JUST spent 250 on a tournament 4 days ago!! And he didn't even have money for rent?! And now it is on me to sell our belongings and try and scrape up enough money or we will be evicted in 2 days. I am due in 2 months and he has not spent a penny on anything for our baby. We have nothing besides what my mom has bought us. How the hell am I supposed to depend on him to support me and a baby when he can't even support ME?! In addition to that he just isn't even good to me.. He never spends time with me, he asks me for a back massage every single night (sometimes I will walk out of the bathroom from puking and he'll ask for a massage) and he has given me 4 massages in the 2 years we've been together (and I asked every one of those time). He just takes and takes and takes. This post is so scattered but gosh I'm so fed up and angry. Is this justified?! I honestly just want to leave. I am not happy. I don't have faith in him that he can support our family. I don't want to be in this same situation with a newborn.
