If you got pregnant by someone who you don't love anymore, would you try to make it work for the baby, or leave and make yourself happy?

Question

Answer

A baby is not a reason to stay in a relationship you aren't happy in. Its healthier for all involved to just leave. You can be good co parents without being in a relationship!

Answer

For me it depends on why you don't love the person amymore. If it's just cause you're bored and miss dating/falling in love, then no, I wouldn't leave. I'd be working on spicing the relationship back up by going on dates and reminding myself why I fell for them in the first place. If I'm out of love because they are abusive, or don't care about my well-being, or cheating, or some other deal breaker, then I'd leave. Baby or not. The child should grow up seeing a functional relationship between parents. Not one where one spouse puts up with the other because they think they have to/are scared to leave.

Answer

I would figure out a suitable co-parenting situation with that person, meaning I would not try to resume a romantic relationship. If that’s not possible, then I would be alone.

Answer

Absolutely wouldn't stay. My parents are miserable together but they've stayed married because of their religion and their kids. 
Now my oldest brother is in a horrible marriage but stays because of their religion and their kids. 
My older sister is in a horrible marriage but stays together because of their religion and their kid. 
My other older brother and myself got lucky. We actually love the people we're with. 
From what I've seen, you staying in an unhappy and loveless relationship just because of the kid means your kid will probably end up the same way. Don't fuck your child over by making them think this is the norm and that it's ok. Leave and be happy.

Answer

Your child will suffer more seeing you in an unhappy/unhealthy relationship than seeing you in a healthy relationship with your child's father as well as maintaining a healthy new romantic relationship if you choose to.

Answer

I would never stay in a relationship for a child.
