Advice please

Me and my partner just split, we have a 1 year old and I’m currently 6 weeks pregnant he’s now told me he doesn’t want me to keep the baby but I want to keep it, I know I can’t stay in a relationship with him because it’s so toxic but the thought of having a toddler and a newborn alone is terrifying

I’m afraid I haven’t got much advice I just want to say how sorry I am that you’ve been in a toxic relationship xx

What I would say is do what you feel not what he wants!

Yes if you decide to keep the baby then know life will be hard for you and both children. Getting help might be hard.

Do you have support?

You're in a difficult position and I've been in this type of situation before and what I did was think about the baby's future. Logically having another was a horrible idea due to finances, housing and my relationship status. I already have a toddler so I knew no matter how it made me feel it would have been catastrophic for my child and myself if I had another because we barely make ends meet already and don't even have stable housing or support

That’s a lot on you. My husband left me when my first born was 6 months old and I was 15 weeks pregnant. I’m still going through my pregnancy and taking care of our baby at some times it can be overwhelming. But you can do it! Us moms have it in us we just don’t know it. Try attending playgroups in your any local area to get to know moms around you, your midwife could help with that, and request for a doula they support with pregnancy as a partner would!

Me and my partner split when I had an 18 month old special needs child and a 5 month old. It can be hard at times but you can get through it. Try to find yourself a support system.

My son just turned 1 and i am 4 months pregnant, after a while of self doubt and wondering if i was strong enough i finally realised that us women are capable of so much and that includes loving our children regardless of our situations. You’ll find peace with you and your children knowing you don’t have any toxic people in your life and although it can be daunting not knowing how life will be without the father, if he was really worth it he would step up but clearly not everyone has it in them to be a parent. But you’re strong and have so much love to give, keep thriving mama💘

I know this is probably the last thing you want to hear. But my baby was about to turn one and I found out I was pregnant. I was still with my bd at the time but I ended up terminating that pregnancy.
It was horrible and I cried for days but I felt like that was the hard right choice.
Fast forward me and my partner split and it got UGLY so everyday I think this is bad, but thank God I didn't continue that pregnancy! I couldn't go through this pregnant... I hope you find the right answer for you in your heart xx

If your partner got a prostitute pregnant and then abandoned the child/ran away, what would be your response? Read…

So you were not in a relationship at the time or were about to be in a relationship, he gets the prostitute pregnant.
It’s her fault for not taking their morning after pill.
He tells her straight up that he’s not going to be involved and that she should terminate it.
She says that she won’t terminate and she hopes that he does stick around

So she deliberately gets pregnant, basically traps him

What would be your reaction?
he’s response is:
“She trapped me and it’s her fault for not taking the pill”

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers
