Cheating during pregnancy

Hey ladies, so my fiancé cheated on me while I was pregnant and I didn’t find out until after I went back to work. I decided to stay but everything feels different. Not unbearable but tense and hard. Anyone else go through this? Any advise (other than leave because that isn’t an option)

Does he seem like he wants to work on things and make things right? Otherwise there’s not really a point in staying

he does. We both agreed to start therapy separate and then together if needed after. And he’s not big on therapy

In my experience cheaters don’t change. They just find ways to hide it better or they don’t even bother trying to hide it well because they know you’ll stay even if you find out.

I really think you should leave. If he can’t even respect you while you’re carrying his child how is he gonna respect you as a mother? You deserve better. Even if you don’t leave, don’t have more kids with him.

My husband has never cheated on me but if he did and it was a one time thing and he showed that he was regretful and willing to change, I’d stay. I’d make sure you have passwords to all of his phones/ computers etc. Make sure you guys make an effort to talk through how you feel. Starting therapy is a great step. Make time for one another to rebuild your relationship. I’d imagine it’s a very slow process and there’s a lot that can go wrong. But eventually you will have to forgive him and let it go otherwise he will never feel peace in your relationship again. But if he screws up again then he’s a goner babe

I agree to not have more kids with him ^

If y’all both put in the effort it’ll work out. If not the relationship is doomed.

In my opinion don’t stay. you are most vulnerable when you are pregnant and he cheated on you. You are growing his child risking your health and putting your life on the line and he decided temporary pleasure was more important. Do not put up with this even if he says he’s sorry and he’s changed blah blah. Do not lower your boundaries and stand your ground

I'm going through this right now, I wanna work stuff out but its hard when all you see is what they did to you. But it is always possible to make things work you both have to be willing to do the work for it

It will always feel different now the trust has gone! If he can cheat on you whilst pregnant he will easily do it again when you’re not. I couldn’t put up with that.

agreed! I stayed with my ex after they cheated on me and they just kept doing it and I felt like a fool and just wished I left the first time. Even if they by some miracle don’t ever cheat again I could never trust them again. Who wants to be in a relationship where they are constantly worrying about the other person cheating when you could be with someone you don’t have to worry about ever or be alone and really not have to worry.

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

Work + baby?

Hi everyone I’m a struggling mom needing to go back to work but trying to avoid sending my baby to daycare I’m desperately trying to find work I can do with my baby as I won’t have any one I trust to babysit. If anyone knows anything please reach out. I just want my baby to be safe but living in this economy with one income is just impossible. Please fellow moms im begging for anything!

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣
