Partner not happy about the pregnancy

Stacy • Love my family, ❤️❤️❤️
I just found out yesterday that I am 6 weeks pregnant with my 5th child (one is adopted). My partner is not happy at all he always said he wanted no one, but I alway wanted one more as I have all girls. He never went for the snip or booked it so there was always a chance I would fall again. He never spoken to me yesterday only to say he didn't want another one. (I would never ever have an abortion as I was told I would never have children tried for years had I've then lost weight, one of my children died at the age of 2yrs) he came in from work said hi and nothing else. I have never cried myself to sleep but I did last night. No hug no you ok no nothing from him just so cold. What do I do

I would say give him some time it may be shock but as you said if he didn't take precautions to help prevent the pregnancy it's not like you did it on your own, love yourself and your kids and if he doesn't come around then just cross that bridge when you get there.  Take care of yourself and enjoy your pregnancy as much as possible and show him that you're strong and resilient and will do this with or without him.  Gods blessings to you🙏🏿

Children are something both people have to agree on.You knew his position and yet you chose not to take precautions either.You can't blame him for being angry and upset. That doesn't mean he won't come around however he could feel tricked.If the situation was reversed no one would say anything if you had been tricked and you were upset angry and didn't want to talk to him.Best of luck.

this was my point exactly. you are all jumping on him. i see no reason to. again a child is something both parties must agree on in a marriage or a life partnership. if both parties dont agree it shouldnt happen. he should not be made to feel that it is all on him either. i want no more children my s.o. has no biological children. he has said plenty of times that he would like one my answer they arnt coming from me if it means that much to you. you need to find someone else. because im not it. so because i know i want no more yet he does we cant agree no baby shall there be. because both parties don't agree. stop jumping on him he could feel tricked. she knew he didn't want one thats a choice they should make together. if the situation was reversed and she was the one who didn't want another baby you would all be saying well he knew that he should have done something to prevent it.

She has every right to be angry and upset. It takes two to make a baby, and he is just as responsible. If he did not want another child, he could have insisted on birth control.

Were you with this same partner when you lost the child of 2 years? He's probably hurt and scared... did you get counseling? That is a big deal losing a child...

This sounds exactly like my situation minus a thing or 2 i have 4 girls been with my partner 10years . We wanted to try for a boy in a few years however last november i had an ectopic pregnancy and had to have my tube removed. After that he said he didnt want to go through that again. I am now pregnant 9+5 with our 5th child and found out at 4+2 and he he told me that we couldnt have it and i had to get rid im totally against abortion so i told him there was no way i was doing it. He always said he would get the snip but never ever bothered even looking in to it!!! He didnt talk to me and our relationship looked like it was over for the next month . However this past week after an ultrasound confirming baby was growing and had a heartbeat he has now changed and gone back to the nice man i loved and our relationship now seems to be getting back on track. I would say give him time to process it afterall.. Having a baby and being pregnant is stressful it does take some time to get used to it and for it to sink in for both partys.

He helped make that baby too. Let him have his fit, he will get over it. He just needs time to wrap his head around it.
