pregnant and partner changed, I cant stop crying please advise

Tinkerbell73, posted over a year ago

Pregnant and partner has changed, would love an opinion please?

I am 32 weeks pregnant in a high risk pregnancy. I cant live with my partner as he works away from where I live and originally he had promised to come to where I live, but says he cant cope with the travelling 60 miles there and the same back.This was hard to deal with as I felt like he had given me false hopes. We got engaged in February 2006 he asked my Dad and everything, one month later I found out I was pregnant which was unplanned. He has changed so much and it is hurting me so much. I have dealt with this pregnancy on my own. I have numerous hospital appointments, after my last pregnancy put me in a coma for 6 days and been suffering with anxiety. Some weeks I am lucky to see him one or two nights a week and finding it hard. He expects me to move to where he lives, but I have a 6 year old from a previous relationship who I dont want to take out of school and I need the support of my family because of my health issues. The original plan was he came to my area before baby was born and then next Easter we move somewhere in the middle. He says he loves me, but I dont know anymore. He told me whilst we are still living apart the baby is my "problem" and he always used to rush to see me but doesnt anymore. Final straw came this week when he sais he dont want to have sex, cos of the baby but I feel its more personal. I am making myself ill, thinking he is seeing someone else and the worse part is I just cant talk to him about how I feel without him being defensive. I cant stop crying. He has changed so much and I think that is what is hurting me the most. I just dont know what to do. My parents are dissapointed in him, I just think the whole commitment thing is scaring him and now I am pregnant we are not "convenient" anymore :( any advice would be welcomed, thanks

I think you should count your blessings and move forward. He has given you so many hints that he is not going to be there for you with all that you are going through. The signals you are getting from him don't remotely point to love. I know that you don't understand his actions because trust me I have been there and done that but in the long run you will probably be better off without him. Be glad that you have a family who loves you and is willing to help you through this. I know that it doesn't make sense now but you are going to eventually have to forgive and move on. I didn't say you were going to be able to do that with ease but you will have to do that one day so that you can be at ease with yourself. Relationships are tough. I am married and my husband and I have endured some extremely hard times and we are not done yet but I have learned that you have to forgive not for him but for yourself and more importantly your children. I know that this may sound like a long shot right now but trust me you will be glad you did when you finally do. I wish you all the luck in the world and I pray that your pregnancy goes well.
