Stressed & pregnant
Honestly need to vent as I have no one to talk to. I’m 18 weeks and very excited, this baby is planned and my bf and I are still together but lately I just feel like my life is falling apart. I’m 19 will be 20 the month after my baby is born. We just moved into a new apartment and I love it. Before moving in when we were looking at new places I did all the math and figured we can definitely afford this new place and all our bills comfortably and still be able to put some money in savings while living here even tho it is a lot more expensive than we paid for our last place. We have lived here for a month and it is perfect and I’m so excited to have our baby here. But to move in my bf had to pay off his debt to an old apartment which was $900 (his roomate got them kicked out and trashed the place and never paid what was due so my bf ended up having to pay it so we could get the new place). And so he has not paid me any bills the last 2 months bc he had to pay off his debt first. I had $2000 in savings so I have been paying all of our bills. But now my savings account is drained. Only have $400 left and I feel like I will never regain what I had. Saving is very important to me especially since we are expecting and I don’t want to struggle in life as I was brought up extremely poorly. My bf now owes me $1500 in bills and I don’t want to nag him but I have no money. I haven’t bought groceries in a month as I have nothing. I haven’t been buying anything at all. All I do is cook clean and work. We both work full time and I feel like it’s for nothing as I have been putting all my money towards our bills. My bf has always been great about giving me money and paying for all the groceries, and even giving me more money for bills than he owes, up until now. I just want to be financially stable again I am so stressed. I sat down this morning to plan what bills need paid when this month and realized my entire check is going to rent and I will have nothing left over and I just broke down. I don’t know what to do besides just wait until my bf pays what he owes me. He already paid all of his bills he owes his parents (he’s on their phone plan, car insurance plans, health insurance, etc). They don’t make him pay them anything until he has enough money to as his dad works crazy hrs and makes great money and his mom is on disability and also makes a ton of money from it so they always have a lot of extra money to spend and they like paying his stuff. But my family is not that way. I pay all my own bills expect I’m on my parents car insurance still, and if I don’t pay it on time they threaten to kick me off. I have a tough relationship with both of our families, as my bf’s family are hardcore trump supporters and judge me harshly for not believing the same and my mom has just been really awful to me since getting pregnant. So I feel like I have absolutely no help and no one to talk to. I just feel so overwhelmed and dont want to live life anymore...
