Idk what to do anymore.. I feel stuck
My bf and I were going our separate ways when we found out I was pregnant. We talked and decided that we would work things out not only for us but for our son. Well, I thought things in our relationship had gotten better but apparently not.
He says we’re still the same and haven’t really made any progress in our relationship. His issues use to be I didn’t cook, communicate or handle things well. And now I cook all the time, clean and try to always remain calm when expressing how I feel or when I dislike something and stay home and take care of his child. Apparently it’s STILL not good enough. He literally told me when we were walking around the block last week that if I was with some other guy I would have already been married by now (going on 6 years of dating). He said that the things I do (cook, clean, look after him etc) aren’t things he needs me to do and that he can that himself. I just feel like I’m wasting my time on someone that is so ungrateful and unappreciative. I’m 25 and I just don’t want to waste my youth being someone’s baby mama when I could be a wife to someone who values me.
We all know the virus is STILL a crisis and I simply ask him to take his shoes off and wash his hands immediately when getting in the house and he acts like I’m being ridiculous by asking it. I’m like you have a 4 month old son and he has asthma (high risk) so you would think the simple things I’m asking wouldn’t piss him off but he gets so mad like I’m just be so ridiculous. I want someone who respects me enough to where I don’t have to constantly repeat myself and who can at least practice better hygiene especially during a freaking pandemic. I get tired of having to take care of him and the baby while he doesn’t seem to appreciate anything I do.
I say things to let him know this is how I feel but he never reassures me about anything. I’m so scared to be a single mom and do this alone. I’m scared with how things would go with us co-parenting. I never imagined things being like this. I want us together and to remain a family but it seems like no matter how much we “talk” nothing really changes.
I just want to be done and start fresh with someone who will love me and my son and be grateful for the things I do.
