Advice with child maintenance

Me and my ex had sex when we was together, I don’t use contraception because it messes up my hormones too much and he knew this, he chose not to use a condom and knew pregnancy was a risk. Eventually we broke up and stopped talking and then I found out I was pregnant. I wanted this baby and wasn’t mentally prepared or capable of an abortion which I told him. He said he didn’t want a baby. Flash forward to now I’m telling my counsellor about it all and how I’m on the fence about putting him on child maintenance and she said it’s my decision but as he took the risk he needs to support the child he helped to create. What do I do, has anyone else been in a situation like this? (For context me and my ex have no contact)

Is this ungrateful or justified?

So my partner will be proposing this year, I just know it and we have never discussed what ring Id like. I am jewellery wearer and therefore quite particular with my style - after all I’m guna wear it for life. When I have tried to speak to my partner about my preferences he says I’m ungrateful and says he’s offended I think he doesn’t know me. I’ve even sent him photos of exact style. But then I accidentally caught a glimpse on his camera roll of a ring he’s screenshot and it’s a completely different style to what I would choose. I also know it’s close to £1k because it’s very blingy and I just want to tell him NO don’t spend all that money because the ring I actually want is so minimalist and costs half that money. What do I do?

Lonely

I moved to a new city and had a baby. It feels like the perfect recipe for loneliness. I try reaching out to new people and putting myself out there, but I’m starting to feel like something is wrong with me. I have no friends, and it seems like I can’t make any. I’m not giving up, just in my feels today. Can anyone relate?

Does it get Easier?

I’m a FTM. I love my son and I really do love being a mom. I lost my job last November and ever since my family ended up going through homelessness and had to figure things out. We are now living in a new apartment and everything is ok, but emotionally I’m just not feeling it. I’m still a sahm and looking for work but we can’t afford child care on top of that. I don’t really know what to do to help my husband support our small family. I feel so lost and overwhelmed. I don’t really have people that I can talk to let alone relate to as I’m only 22 and most of my family thinks I threw my life away. I just need to know if anyone has any recommendations or knows anything I can do. I wanna make things better but honestly how?

Marriage and other..

My husband asked me to end things with my "fun" side piece. It's over the phone not in person. My husband had approved and enjoyed the benefits from it. But I think due to the other guy putting in more effort and giving me attention -- now he doesn't want me talking to him anymore. Thoughts?

WEDDING RINGS

Let me see your simple-not simple wedding rings. I am getting married soon although I want to go for a simple one(that’s what we can afford now) I want something that looks real nice. Haha I don’t know if I make sense🫶🏽

Contraception

Approaching my 6 week check up with the GP. Just wondering what contraception others opted for postpartum. After my last child I never went on to any contraception but this time I am planning to. I hear so many pros and cons surrounding each choice. I’d just like to get others experiences x
