writes:[Moderator's Note: 2 questions from the same poster have been combined]1. my ex boyfriend (father to my child of 2yrs) keeps asking me if i am pregnant with my current boyfriend. I cannot understand why he would be so interested, i mean he even said when i have a scan he wants a copy!!!I split with him in January and have been with my new boyfriend since February and i cant understand why he'd be so interested2. I am 2 months pregnant with my boyfriend and i am having very bad mood swings and becoming very emotional which causes arguments between us. I have had a child in the past with another partner but this is his first child and he doesnt seem to understand how i am feeling. I have tried to talk to him about why i am like this but it still causes arguments but what makes it worse is straight after the argument he wants to sort it out and talk about it straight away which frustrates me even more, i have told him this but nothing is changing and it is very stressfull what can i do

 Your ex boyfriend being so interested in your current pregnancy tells me that he still loves you. Who broke up with whom? For what reason?Your current partner is just as stressed as you are, though without the messy mood swings! This is first child, you at least have been through this before. He's probably scared of messing it up, be patient with him and give him your support. Let him know that your frustration is because of the mood swings and explain that you need time to cool down between venting said frustration and 'fixing' the problem.Though personally I'd take it as a boon that he wants to sort things out! Very admirable, just bad timing I suppose. Do you have a good support system? Friends, family etc? Maybe you could lean on them more?
