Question - (21 March 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 21 March 2010)
A female Canada age 41-50, anonymous writes:

*OP's own title*

I met my current "fiance" and 2 months later we were surprisingly pregnant, it was a shock. We had a hard pregnancy and didn't get along well. Now 2 years later our relationship is still failing; he doesn't show affection, caring or any interest in me. When I get really upset, he says he wants to change things but 2 days later he is right back to treating me like a piece of furniture. I just don't know what to do. Do I leave? We have tied finances and a 1 yr old. Is this how other relationships are when you have kids and stress, or is my relationship just terrible. Thank you!

This was something that never was really working in the first place. And now a baby has come along and made it all a bit difficult. Relationships shouldn't be like this. Of course they all go through hard times, but when after two years nothing is changing and promises are being broken, it's time to think carefully about whether you want to be with this man. It might be worth trying counselling to see if that would help. But don't make the mistake of marrying just for the sake of a child when you're both unhappy in this relationship. Think carefully about all this and whether this is a man you want to be with.
