13 weeks, no partner, what do I do?

Question

My fiancée and I found out we were expecting a month and a half ago. He was excited but worried about the news, since he already has two boys from a previous marriage, and money has been tight. We've just told family, since he wanted to wait in case of miscarriage, but since I relocated to help him be with his family and save him money - I lost my job and he has very little extra $ coming in after child support. After all this time and discussion, he has apologized for not being able to get by and has no other plan/will not maturely accept he needs to make plans immediately and instead still gives excuses how he can't get things on track in time. My family moved me back home 2 days ago to get away from an unsupportive partner, and to get the care I need now. Unfortunately, they're not supportive of me having a child with him, though still claim it's my choice (I've always wanted to have this baby - but now I don't know how or how it's life and mine will be without this child's father's support). I know everyone's stories on here are of excitement, and I haven't gotten to feel much positivity and supported or excited yet, but I could definitely use words of advice or encouragement if anyone out there is going through the same experience of limited options...

Answer

I'm not going through it now,  but 4 years ago I did.  I was afraid, alone and in the end a better person for being both his parents. It's something I would never change and now I'm married and have two step sons and a baby on the way.  He got the family he didn't get from his father and my husband loves him just the same as his sons.

Answer

If you want the baby, you can do it!  It may be rough for a little bit, but as long as you do what's best for your two, I believe everything will work out for you two to be happy and healthy!  Do what's in your heart.

Answer

Hang in there sis & stay strong.  If he was a real man he would man up and take care of his responsibilities.  Are you able to look for a new job? Even something easy like a take out restaurant or clothing store? Or collect unemployment? Right now is your chance to save money and prepare for some time off when the babe gets here :) also, go and check out the welfare programs in your city, food stamps is a huge help when people are in need and there is no shame in getting help! That's what it's there for! Best wishes, you got this ;) xo!

Answer

When it's just you and your partner he is your world but you'll find especially when the baby is born that no one could ever have your love as much as your baby. I'm sure in time he will wake up but if not it's his problem and not yours! He knows what it takes to be a father with him being one all ready. You just make sure you are prepared for your baby! You will be fine honestly xx
