My boyfriend hasnāt worked for 7 months, I work many hours in a physical job and I pay for bills, he stays in my house as doesnāt have accommodation of own or a car.. I pay for food everything basically. He isnāt bothered to find work he smokes w**d all day and I am coming home from 13 hour shifts, whilst pregnant and I cook dinner, clean the house and do laundry Iām at breaking point.
I also have no family as I was orphaned and have no close friends nearby. Itās affecting my mental health and when I speak to him he shuts me up and doesnāt listen just directs it to himself like ā how do you think my mental health isā blah blah and gets angry⦠Iām 5 months pregnant and exhausted/ sick as it is. I just donāt know what to do.

girl leave that manā¦. like huh. youāre basically alone and by yourself with him so I donāt see why youād keep him in your house being a bum all day.

I would leave him and focus on you and baby x
I think the reason Iām scared to leave him is of course an element of love but also Iāll be completely alone through everything without friends or any family..

Honestly with how heās acting, itās gonna feel more lonely with him around than without him in your life. Because yea heās physically there, but emotionally heās not there and supporting you at a vulnerable time ( pregnancy)

Youāre also doing all the work and pregnant. Heās not contributing or wants to help you. So when the baby comes, itās gonna be worse. Because if heās not working, he could atleast help you cook and clean so you can rest. Especially how pregnancy is hard, and you will need rest after labor too or if youāre very tired you need support. Heās not a supportive partner and most likely wouldnāt be a good father.

Your life will be easier without him, especially when baby comes. Please get yourself set up on your own, heās going to drag you down. He sounds like he will be a totally useless father, he is not pulling his weight *at all*. Trust me when I say, you arenāt going to be able to look after your newborn AND this man-child at the same time, so look out for yourself and your baby ā¤ļø

I barely tell women to leave but this guy sounds not only useless but toxic as well. Not a good combination.

Incognito you're worried about being alone but you already are. You can be far more lonely in a relationship than you would be bring single.
Do you honestly think he will help once baby is here and would you be happy him smoking weed around the baby?
It's so hard not to resent your partner, my husband is an amazing man and dad, but I still resent him over things he has not control over -things like how his nipples arent getting shredded and how he gets more sleep - so I can promise you it will be easier to do this alone than have another person you have to take care of.
Girls thank you so so much for all of your valued responses and support. I just needed to hear it to give me that final push. Youāve given me a bigger perspective by not just looking at now but also after baby arrives .. thank you š«¶š¼ā„ļø
