7 Months Pregnant and My Partner Wants to Leave

So sorry to hear this! My ex did the same to me really suddenly (we didn’t have children) and it turned out he had met someone else .. using the “emotional connection” sounds like a cop out to me and not the real reason perhaps? If I were you I would focus on keeping your home, let him move out .. give him no attention as if he doesn’t exist and focus now on keeping things consistent for your 5 year old, and plan ahead for when your baby arrives .. he’ll come back … whatever it is won’t work out and he’ll realise what he’s missing out on with you all as a family .. the most powerful thing you can do, is be really happy and confident solo parenting .. like he’s not even needed … that will really hurt him and de-emasculate him x

He has definitely found someone else. This is the same thing my husband is doing. Literally using the emotional connection thing as an excuse. I’m 23 weeks pregnant and my husband was doing the same thing

It’s so wrong how he can say you have no emotional connection for 18 months but he had sex with you 7 months ago and likely more I am sure.
I would speak to him and recommend you attend relationship counselling together if you still love him and he sticks to the emotional connection issue. I’m sorry to say I agree with the ladies above and he if is not willing to do this he has likely met someone else.
As Amanda says if he wants to leave let him go and you stay in your house. You deserve better, I’m sorry you are going through this x

Thanks for the comments ladies! My issue is I still love him and want to make it work not just for me but for the children as well.
I’ve suggested counselling and the response was it won’t change anything I’d only be doing it to placate you. Even said he would stay and just “pretend” everything was fine but that would only last for a year
