Unhappy, pregnant, and depressed
So a little back story...
I'm currently 27 weeks pregnant with my second child, first daughter. I'm beyond excited. But my SO doesn't seem to be as happy as I am. When we found out, he wanted me to get an abortion. I told him no, I won't do that. He eventually came around enough to support my decision to keep her. But since finding out, our relationship has turned to shit... not like it was so great to begin with. We've fought a lot about his ability to be a supporting person in my life.
We've been together for over two years, but have know each other for over 15 years. I will always consider him one of my best friends and I know that I love him. But I also know that I DO NOT want to spend my life with him. He is a negative person, a grumpy person, very antisocial, and completely ignores any issues I may have with our relationship.
We both have a child from previous relationships who both live with us full time. For the first year of our relationship, I supported him and his daughter as well as my son and myself. He only in the past year has gotten a job that is worth having. He uses my car to get to work and to take his daughter to school. Im not working.
Our last fight happened because he told me my depression and anxiety are for show in his eyes. I literally fell out of love with him at that exact moment. How could he just think that? After knowing me for so long. I've dealt with the same issues since i was a teenager.
When I'm having a depressive episode or an anxiety attack, he does not comfort me. He only ignores me until I calm myself down. If i ask him to be with me, he walks away and does something else. I cant, for my own mental health, stay in this relationship. I want out. I've made up my mind.
My only drawback is Christmas. I want our kids to have a good memory of Christmas this year. Should I wait until the holidays are over? I've already talked to my parents and they know the situation. They've offered to let me stay with them for a bit with my son and the baby when she's born. What would you suggest I do? Am I wrong for wanting out? I know I'd be thousands times happier without him around... i JUST hope I'm making the right decision. Please help me ladies!
