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.

LEAVE… because it’ll only make you feel worse if you stay and he’s not around for the child period.

I had almost the same experience and it took a very long time for it to stop. I would save yourself the heartache and let it end now.

He’s not going to change. If you’ve been asking for that long and he’s still behaving as though he’s single, it’s time to leave. You deserve to be with someone who wants to spend time with you and wants to communicate with you. He’s not capable of being a partner or father at this point based on his behavior. There is a saying I think applies to this " when someone shows you who they are, believe them". He’s shown you who he is.

Over reacting? Absolutely not. He needs a come to Jesus conversation on growing up and realizing in a month he will have a small baby at home. At this moment in time, if you don’t have a back up plan I personally would sit him down and have a real conversation about how what he does makes you feel. Packing up 8 months pregnant with 2 other children and leaving with no plan is not wise. Remember men can be dumb. They don’t take hints, you have to be bluntly honest with him in an adult manner. Best of luck momma :heart:

Always go with your gut

He won’t change and will only get worse when the baby arrives. Get out now. He’s clearly only worried about himself and his wants. You deserve better. You already know the answer or you wouldn’t be asking.

Run like the wind. If he’s supposedly working on the house but it’s never done than that’s not actually what he’s doing. Agree he is probably seeing someone.

Speaking from a suuuuper similar situation, he has shown you who he really is. Chances are, things wont get any better after baby comes. It will likely become worse because you will feel even more alone while being sleep deprived and taking care of all the kids alone. I wish i would have left before my baby was born. It would have been much easier.

He’s your boyfriend … you don’t owe him anything. Pack up and leave because it’s only going to get worse.

Pack and leave. You’re being neglected and abused emotionally. Sometimes verbal abuse isn’t too far from physical. Over all though, you deserve better and your children deserve to see you being treated the right way and for you to teach them correctly how to be treated.

He made up his mind soon as he left the 1st time because he knew he could keep getting away with this! It may be hard at first but it will be well worth it in the long run hun. Stay STRONG♡

I was on a relationship like that. As it turned out he was leading a triple life. Three girlfriends. I am not saying this is your case. I would leave qnd not look back. You.deserve to be treated better.

Girl! No one got into a relationship to be alone :woman_shrugging:t2: if his job required him to actually leave like that (military, oil rigs, things of that nature) I could understand. If he can’t be at home helping raise the family he signed up for then tell him bye :wave:t2::v:t2:

In my honest opinion. I would walk away from the situation.
You could sit him down and tell him how you feel (which from the post I can assume you already have) and tell him that if it doesn’t change, you are walking away from the relationship. Whether he is cheating or not, he is being extremely disrespectful to you.
While partners and spouses should not be expected to “ask permission” to go or do something, there is an unspoken respect line in which the person should discuss or at the very least inform their partner or spouse of what their plans are.
My boyfriend and I have been together for several years now, and together we have 7 children. I would never expect him to ask my permission to do anything, nor does he expect me to ask his permission. However, we always inform the other of what our plans are. If I am going out with my girlfriends to get away from the house and kids for a few hours, I let him know a few days in advance what my plans are and let him know where I am going to be. And vice versa. This is for a few different reasons. First, it’s so he knows that I have made plans with my friends so he knows that I will not be home with the kids. If he has plans for the same day, we can then work out child care. Second, if something were to happen to me and I don’t come home near or around the time I told him I would, he has a general idea of where I am and who I am with I the event I have encountered and emergency situation. And vise versa, if some kind of emergency were to come up at home, he knows where I am and who I am with in the event he can’t reach me on my phone.
He goes on week long fishing trips a few times a year, and he always let’s me know in advance on when he is leaving, where he is going and who all is going with him just in case I can’t get a hold of him… or if there is an emergency and someone he is with needs to contact me, I know to answer my phone if they call me.
It’s really all about respecting the other person enough to include them in your life.

Say bye bye ASAP. Sounds like he won’t be of much help when baby is here either , so how much are you really losing besides a part time lover if even that.

You are NOT over reacting. If he doesn’t want to spend any time with you & your kids at home I’d leave his ass. He is very clearly showing you what is more important to him. I wouldn’t jump to cheating right off the bat but I definitely think he is out with his friends all the time making excuses. You deserve way more than this…

you have a boyfriend. He’s single

if you can live with that, live with it. Otherwise, do something about it.

If you was his priority then there wouldn’t be any issues right now. He’s not concerned with you or your needs. You sold your house? Then I’d be figuring out where my money was and get out. Make him pay child support and move on. Maybe try watching the movie fireproof and see if there’s anything you’re doing to push him away. Just pray and love him harder. If that keeps him away still. Then you already know your answer. Move on.

Sounds like you are already tolerating what you told him you wouldn’t tolerate. He doesn’t care

That is beyond disrespectful. He does not care about you.

U need to leave if u stay its not going to fix things or b better staying with someone just bc ur pregnant doesn’t always work like we want it to

Girl, take your kiddos and RUN…ain’t no mama got time for those games. Hugs

Seems like he just wants to do what he wants without any regard for you or your feelings. I would leave because if I’m gonna be lonely in a relationship, might as well be lonely all by myself. You have kids and you want them to have someone they can look up to, this is not behavior of someone that can be looked up to. I understand you love him, but if you have already talked to him and nothing has changed it is time to make the change happen by leaving.

Girl what😒 How the hell can you tolerate that shit. Him leaving for days and not saying ?!?! And you’re pregnant!

So he’s been your boyfriend for 10 months and you are 8 months pregnant. Sounds like you didn’t have a lot of time to get to know him before you got pregnant. I don’t think he sounds like he’s cheating or anything but he sounds rather childish to me. Like he had a party life before you and the kids came along and he doesn’t wanna change that. Good luck

Question
You told him you DONT tolerate certain behavior, and based on your post you have allowed this intolerable behavior. Is that correct?
Well that’s why he doesn’t care because you said you won’t and you have so why should he take what you say seriously?

I hope your house money is in a different account and he’s not out partying with it🤦‍♀️

U are putting up with it though u have had enough do something about it

Leave him. He sounds like a turd- and it’s not going to get better.

I’d leave.
no way would I tolerate being home all day with the kids & pregnant while he’s living the happy single life. nopeeee! if I’m gonna conduct business as if I am single, I might as well be single and not have to care for a grown as* boy in the mix. :v:
this behavior wouldn’t have lasted longer than 2 months with me… don’t allow it.
