Am I overreacting or do I seriously have a reason for being mad?

My boyfriend of 10 months will leave and sometimes not come back all night or be gone for days. He’s always saying he’s working on our other house but when I go there barley any progress is made or he’s just there hanging out with his buddies, drinking. Sometimes I can’t get ahold of him at all. Sometimes he says he just wants to go out and have fun. I’m 8 months pregnant and have two kids already. When we got together I was straight up with him on what I will and will NOT tolerate. Our relationship was amazing at first and now it’s come down to me being home all day and night alone, with no calls or texts. And I’m quite sick of being alone. When he does come home, he gets up early and just leaves without telling me what he’s doing or how long he’s going to be gone, he refuses to fix my vehicle and tells me I need to let him have fun because that just ‘who he is.’ But an invite would be nice every once in a while. I’m talked to him about this calmly and also not so calmly, neither has worked. It’s getting old and exhausting. Especially after I sold my house and moved in the middle of no where in his house. I want to pack my kids and their things and leave so badly but once I think about it, I don’t want to over react. At this point I think I have a right to be mad. Because I don’t want it to be like this when the new baby comes. I don’t have time to worry about where he’s at or what he’s doing because I have kids to take care of.

Honestly sounds like he is cheating i wouldn’t put up with that. I’d tell him if he doesn’t change then he can pack his stuff and leave. Ur close to ur due date and have 2 other kids he needs to step up and start acting like a father and boyfriend.

Not overreacting. Just leave

You have every right to be mad. You obviously got with a man who isn’t done being a child himself. Leave, he ain’t ready to grow up. Your pretty much a single mom already so why don’t you just go ahead and live that life by yourself or find a family committed man

Cut your losses now I’d say

Oof. Sounds like hes not ready for a commitment or to be a father/step father. All take time and effort.

You deserve better. I dont want to say hes doing XYZ because noone knows that for sure. And I don’t want to plant that seed. Maybe tell him he either sorts himself out and is there for you or he leaves. Xxxx

He sounds really immature. I would leave

You see the writing on the wall already and I think you’re hoping to hear that you should stay and he will change etc. If he’s doing this at 10 months into the relationship and refuses to change don’t expect him to change 5 or 10 years from now. So accept that this is who he is and this is what your life with him will be like and don’t complain about it or get out now.

Go find someone that deserves you cause it sure ain’t him.

Leave. You are not overreacting. He’s being a disrespectful douchebag. Better to do it now versus the kids having to witness later on how shitty he is.

Leave. He is up to no good, likely cheating.

Stop being a door mat…this man only loves himself.
Get rid of him and give your self chance to meet a real man who will love and take care of you and your brood.

And now your tolerating this bs so you have lowered your standards and because you let him het away with it he will continue to do it

You told him what you won’t tolerate and I’m assuming it’s this so he already knows. Sounds like he wants the single life with no responsibility. Letting him have fun because that’s who he is isn’t going to work with kids and a family. If that’s the way he wants it then give it to him and leave and find someone else.

You have your children and your teenager, there’s that. Like it or leave it! Not being mean, just honest

Anyone else doing the math in their head? They’ve only been together 10 months… But have 2 kids and one on the way? I hate to assume they did the Brady bunch thing but without clarification this situation seems impossible.

I’m not gonna be one on here talking about “you were only with him 2 months when you got pregnant” or “it’s only been 10 months” blah blah blah. I married my husband after 2 months of dating… with that being said, leave him! He has apparently told you that he just wants to have fun. That’s not a man that I would be worried about building a life with. You are already doing it all on your own, you might as well be on your own! You and those kids deserve better.

Honestly… it sounds like he couldn’t care about you or the babies. Time to do what you got to do. You got this boo!

I’d take my stuff and leave. I went through this and then he became abusive. Just leave , it will suck but you will be so much happier. I stayed way too long. But I’m happy now I have my own car finished my army career have a couple degrees . You will be ok momma.

You told him your boundaries initially and hes broken them and you allow it so seems like hes got a free reign to behave as he likes. You deserve better

Please don’t let this guy keep walking all over you and your children.

It’s time for you to leave. You shouldn’t have to keep repeating yourself. At that point he doesn’t care & he’s going to do as he pleases. You & your children come first & thats not how your kids should be shown to treats their significant other

Welp, I hope the other kids aren’t his , Bc if they did and you chose to keep having kids with this man then that’s on you. Set boundaries and stick to them. If he can’t respect that then leave

I knew someone exactly like this… He is now my ex!!!

So I think getting a break is fine. But you also have to get a break for every break he gets. If he wants a night out with his friends, you get a night out with your friends. That’s what me and my husband did in marriage counseling. But it was also one night of break per week, not every other night. If he can’t commit and says you need to let him do what he wants then leave.

Wait… you’ve been with him for 10 months, you’re 8 months pregnant making that 2 months in this relationship before that, and you already sold the house you owned and packed up your kids and moved in with this boyfriend???

First off, why would you sell your house and move you and your kids in with someone you barely know well enough ? I don’t think you thought this out very well. It sounds like he is taking advantage of the fact you are pregnant and have kids to take care of. He can go do whatever he wants and you can’t stop him, because he won’t even fix your car. He is not ready to quit being a little boy. You have more important people to worry about. THOSE KIDS COME FIRST !!! I hope you make the right choice and leave.

He is showing you who he really is. Read him as he is and make a choice. Choose to leave and live a peaceful life or choose to stay and this be the rest of your life, wondering, waiting, worrying! This is no way to live or for your children to endure.

If he’s unwilling to change or fix the issues you need to leave! You have to do what’s best for you and your kids! This guy seems like a bum and an alcoholic!

You have two kids already, one on the way and he won’t fix your vehicle so you can get somewhere if you need too, I’m hoping that when you sold your house you didn’t put the money towards his house.

If you can, leave. If he isn’t there now he won’t be there when the baby comes. Do what is best for yourself and your babies. If you can’t leave, try to save money if possible and seek any resources that may be available for you to prepare to leave when you’re ready.

Find you a man that WANTS to be with you and your kids

It sounds like he’s not happy. I won’t go to the assumption of cheating, because sometimes if someone’s not happy they just put tons of space daily between you, sometimes they do cheat.
I’d set him down and tell him this isn’t just “who he is” anymore. He should be a father, and boyfriend first but he’s putting his fun first. If he’s not happy to tell you right then and there, because that’s what it seems to me. What you accept will continue.

I’m not trying to be ugly but are yall together because you got pregnant?

I am so sorry for your situation but you must leave. Find all the support you can from family and friends and social agencies and support groups. If you have to go to a single moms shelter. Don’t look back. I am so happy for you that physical abuse is not an issue, you just need to find love, affection and companionship. Compared to many you are in a pretty good place.

I’d tell him if he doesn’t start being there for you, the kids and baby you’re going to leave. Provide a time frame. Tell him no staying out all night and if he wants a guy’s night yall can agree on that and it will not be every night. He’s a family man now, so he can change or you need to leave. But definitely be straight forward with him, set a date (these should be easy fixes, so im talking like a week at most) and stick to your guns. This will give him a few days to make his choice, once he does you’ll have your answer. He’ll either do what you’ve asked and expect of him or you’ll move. It’s really that simple.
