I'm lost and scared

I am lost and don’t know what to do. I am 5 weeks pregnant and my partner went out this past weekend and his boxer came back dirty. He says he didn’t know what happen and that it happen in the house in the morning when we were eating in the bedroom, he did tell me he dance with a girl at the club after I confronted him, he said he wanted to tell me, but he wasn’t sure how I would react. He said it was with the group of friends he was with one of the girls. He came back home around 2AM and he was drunk. He typically doesn’t go out and it’s the first time he goes out to the club without me and dances with a girl. I notice his shirt has a lipstick stain and that’s when I comforted him.

Please give me some advise, I don’t know if I should continue with this pregnancy. I am able to check his phone anytime if needed and he never seems to hide anything and always ask for permission to go out with friends, but this weekend I don’t know what he was thinking and doing. I’m confuse, he claims he loves me, and shows it but not sure if that’s enough. I’m lost and scared.

If anything leave him but don’t get rid of the pregnancy and even if it comes to not wanting the baby then give it up for adoption. Sounds like red flags for him but the baby is innocent and doesn’t deserve that.

that baby didn’t do anything. dont give the baby the death sentence because a grown adult can’t stay loyal.

If your going to delete the baby and keep they man, your just as worst as him. Move on and love on that baby. Once a cheater, always a cheater and the more you take him back after he cheats the less he respects you. No man respect a weak woman! Hold your ground and stand for something.

Umm yes, please continue with the pregnancy, if you don’t want to keep it. There are lots of parents who have been trying and can’t!!
At this point the trust is gone and you’ll always have questions now. But that baby didn’t ask for you to open your legs. I’m sorry not trying to be mean just brutally honest!! God bless you!

Don’t let anyone tell you what you should and shouldn’t do first of all. You have no idea how many single moms are extremely depressed, suicidal, and are ALONE in motherhood because the baby father does nothing to help and isn’t mature enough to be a father. Being a mother is a tough job on anyone and even more so when you’re doing it alone. He doesn’t exactly seem like husband material. Do what you think is right for YOU :heart:

Don’t terminate, babies are innocent in all. If it’s worth saving your marriage then try. If he continues with the playing and not having your back while your pregnant, you can do it alone. You are stronger than you may think.

Do what is best for you, and don’t let anyone make you feel bad for choosing yourself.

Your child is not to blame but that choice legally is yours but did you want a baby? I will say this, I hope you are not financially dependent on him.

Why does what he’s doing effect whether or not you want to keep your baby alive? If you want the baby you need to remember ad a woman it’s your choice for a reason . If you’re thinking u might want to end the pregnancy because the relationship might not work out then I guess if you break up in two years from now you’ll give away the kid? If your boyfriend dies in 3 years will u give away your child?? If u meet someone else and it’s your fault the relationship ship doesn’t work out what do you do with the child then? Motherhood is a lifetime commitment and there are many reasons why you could become a single mom so I think before u decide if your baby lives or dies based on a guy u should think about if u could handle being a single mother. Yes men should be responsible for their children… but that doesn’t mean it’ll work out where he will or even can be… anything could happen that could leave u as a single mother. Either u want the baby or you don’t it’s on you not him

I’m sure most people are gonna say keep the baby . But that is totally up to you . Your the one that has to live with your decision.

My bf of 8 years cheated on me . We were engaged , had a son … but I found he was cheating very early in my 2nd pregnancy. After a lot of thought I decided to abort . I made a final decision to leave the relationship… I’m sure If I had continued with the pregnancy I would have loved the baby regardless & I would have did what I could to provide… but me myself just wasn’t in the right mental state & I didn’t want to put a newborn through that …

At the end of the day the decision is up to you .
I would figure out where y’all stand first , then make the decision

Do what is in your heart to do. In my opinion I would toss this guy because it will happen again. And clearly you sound untrusting pf him if you are checking his clothes and phone. That’s completely your choice to end a pregnancy. It is definitely hard to raise a child on your own. If you feel that is the right choice for you do it and don’t let others dissuade you from that choice because it isn’t up to them. I wish you well and good luck.

Honestly if he has never given a reason to doubt before, why doubt now. He told u he was drunk, he danced with a girl. He asks to go out and u can see his phone. I say unless u have 100% proof he slept with another girl trust him. Shirt had lipstick, doesn’t mean shit. Dancing girl might have rubbed up while dancing , it happens. He may honestly not have known. Everyone saying leave is the problem. You either trust him or you don’t. It’s up to you. Throw a relationship away, then find out down the road nothing happened, then what? Kill child and relationship for nothing! Think how you would feel. I say communication and trust him. Build your family. Love them. Until 100 proof otherwise

Are you in a financial position to take care of this baby on your own? Is this your first child? It’s extremely stressful to raise a baby even with a partner. The first year is exhausting. If I wasn’t keeping the man, I wouldn’t keep the baby.

Bottom line…
Yo boyfriend went out and fucked his side chick.

You’re preggers and need to start adulting by deciding if you want to stay preggers AND keep yo cheating man.

You’re not lost or confused.
You want someone to decide for you.
Well news flash girly…
Time to put yo big girl panties on and decide what direction YOU want your life to go.

Is it single with dependant?
Is it co-parenting with a cheating liar?
Is it being single with no dependants?
Only you know the answers.
Honestly answer these questions and you’ll be ok.

I’d advise you to go get tested for std’s.
If he’s getting drunk and fucckin other folks, he’s not covering his shit.

For all you know he might be in a relationship with another person and playing both of you.
Don’t bury your head in the sand by ignoring what’s staring you in the face.
Step to the plate and handle yo shit like a true boss.

God gives us freedom of choice, think long and hard, pray about it, if U decide to get rid of the man, ok, but if u can’t take care of a baby then by all means have the baby and adopt it out. There are so many couples that can’t have babies and would love to make yours or even someone else’s baby their own. Don’t end a child’s life b/c of your weakness and or insecurities there is always a consequence for our choice so choose well you may not like the end result that you get. :pray:’s for all involved.

It’s probably that he got really drunk and maybe a Slutty woman was trying to take it vantage of him, be a boss babe lay down the rules, show him you are the queen that you are also remind him he’s gonna be a father he probably is scared reassure him that he will be a great father and that you guys will work this out everything‘s gonna be OK because honestly first time dad‘s to act out this isnt my first rodeo I have four kids 6 months-13yrs two babies dad my first children’s father was already and dad though but the second one his first time dad and he acted out really bad and he was scared and he admitted it and he was doing stupid shit talking to other women online man makes mistakes as long as he’s taking care of you not abusive towards you and he is genuinely sorry work it out, or you could go through with abortion but it would be one of the most regrettable heartbreaking things you could do to yourself because you would wonder what that child would’ve been like for the rest of your life I’ve had six miscarriages And one abortion and four successful sons I still wonder till this day that one baby I got aborted would’ve been how they would’ve turned out it still breaks my heart. It’s takes two to and don’t run because you run into a hurdle this will either make you or break you.

I had an abortion when I was 28. I was not in the right place to take care of a second child. That child never knew hurt or pain. I think about it a lot and wish I had been more stable or taken more precautions but I wasn’t and I didn’t. I don’t regret my decision however I did not base my decision off of a man. I based it on my ability to provide a caring and nurturing life without a man

So you want to kill your baby just because you’re with a dumbass? Makes sense to me. Leave his stupid ass and have your child and raise her or him with love. Don’t worry about him anymore. Just because you don’t want to be with him anymore doesn’t mean you have to get rid of the baby too.

Don’t abort your baby because your partner danced with a girl… that’s not the babies fault!!!

You need to have a long and big conversation with your partner, be understanding because he may really not remember but don’t abort the baby, you will regret it later on.

You will end up thinking what a bad decision you made just because your partner danced with a girl…You will look back and wonder why you did it when you could of had a beautiful child with you.

Move to the beat of your gut instincts. . so sorry you’re going through this. I will say that bringing a baby into a home brings up some of life’s harder moments even with the best partner in the world. If it were me I would personally move on from him because I would never be able to fully trust him again. This is just my personal opinion. If it helps write how you are feeling on paper, do pros and cons and make sure whatever you decide is something that you will not regret in the future. Make sure you have a set plan - no matter what you choose. :yellow_heart:

The question shouldn’t be should you continue with the pregnancy… it should be can I continue in this relationship…

Tbh I would sit down and talk to your partner, you may want to continue the relationship and forgive him but you may never forget, and are you prepared to continue your relationship as the years go on and he goes out again always wondering and questioning his whereabouts and his movements.

I’m sure you have lots of support around you, and I’m sure you will get lots of support if you decide to leave your partner and go at it alone…
But don’t allow your partners infidelity cloud judgement on your ability to have the baby and raise it alone.

Try to have an honest conversation with him about what really happened. Sit down together, face to face. Try to use neutral language terms, if he feels attacked, he will be defensive and more likely to lie. First time out in a long time, alone, with just his friends, he may have sprung too hard and was reacting to stress. But always give your partner the benefit of doubt, don’t be quick to accuse him the worst. Let him explain himself. Maybe the girl from the club was just a flirty dance, which is walking the line slimly haha(just my opinion, if that’s a hard no for you, make him understand that you do not accept that behavior) and as for the boxers, maybe he ‘relieved’ himself after all the excitement from the night out but was too drunk to clean himself up… We all have our moments, maybe try to extend him a little grace and forgiveness? I am pro-choice myself, I would probably try to keep the baby, for me, but you need to assess your mental health, your ability to take care of a baby on your own or if you have a support system and your finances to support you and this baby. It’s a difficult choice that no one, but you, can make for you.

my advice would be to him. RUN. you are a bit of a control freak, i can check his phone, he asks for permission, your not his mum or his owner. let him be an adult and make his own mistakes. decide on whether you want to be a mother or not but dont use a baby as a weapon

I don t have to live with him but two things ring bells for me
