My "boyfriend" just told me he is single, what do I do?

I am almost 6 months pregnant with a son and have 3 daughters the guy I’m pregnant by now is not my girls father and just told me a couple of days ago that we were not in a relationship and that he was single so my thing is why does he sleep in my bed with me every night maybe once or twice out the week he doesn’t he has his own place. I love him and won’t to be in a relationship with him and be a family but I don’t think he is ready for that family role yet. He basically comes and goes when he wonts. He washes his clothes here and spends time here but I won’t more I won’t to feel more so how can I get things changed. I feel like he isn’t even sexually attracted to me anymore either since being pregnant we have had sex 6 times and I’m almost 6 months pregnant. We lay in bed and he won’t even touch me I give him back messages and barely get one. Ive asked him if we aren’t together in a relationship then why is he still coming around and what is it that he wants from me and he says as long as I have his child in my stomach and have his child that there’s nothing I can do about it that he was going to be around regardless and that I was not allowed to be around another male or me and the male would be in the ground but I’ve caught him talking with multiple women but if he doesn’t want me then why should it matter smh I just do t get things here lately it’s like I’m going to be stuck with his child raising him alone. He did take me and my girls to meet his family for thanksgiving and he talks about future plans for us but idk i believe it I just don’t feel the same anymore do y’all think it’s my hormones going crazy or am I wanting something that’s never going to be something. He also calls me weak for going to other females questioning them he has also pushed me down and around like a rag dog while pregnant with this baby because I accused him of being with another female. He said I deserved it for having accusations. I feel like I’m begging for love and attention smh he’s also very hot headed as he tells me all the time does it look like I need to beg for sex he thinks he’s the hottest thing walking the planet. He also doesn’t help me with any of my bills I guess because he has his own bills. When I ask why he won’t move in with me he says because that would make him look bad moving in with me and that I could get mad at him and kick him out at any time and he would be stuck. What should I do? When I tell him he’s just my BD and that I don’t have to answer his calls or have him over on his time he gets very angry and just shows up so I feel stuck.

Don’t let him in your house anymore. To me it sounds like he’s just using you so he has a place to sleep, eat, wash his clothes, etc. I also wouldnt believe him when he told his family about his future plans with you, most of the time men just say what people want to hear… and I’m sure his family wants to hear that he’ll be there for you and baby even if he knows he won’t be. I don’t know, I’m basing my answer more on experience. Don’t let him tell you that he’ll be around no matter what because you’re carrying his child but yet he’s physically harmed you. He needs to find somewhere else to go.

If you accusing him of being with a other female and he says you are accusing him… it isn’t an accusation cause he straight out said to you he is single… just block him. You don’t need that energy.

Yep. He’d be out with yesterday’s trash. If it’s your house and your money I dunno how the fuck you feel stuck…change your locks. Get a no contact order. Tell him to go play in traffic. Make it clear you’re done and moving on especially considering he said himself “ya’ll are single.”

I’ve been through this I wasn’t pregnant but I’ve dealt with this and it’s one of those things where he doesn’t want to fully commit but also doesn’t want anyone else having u and it won’t ever change u need to make him leave u and ur baby deserve more he may have to be around for the baby but he doesn’t have to stay in ur home and take advantage of u

He’s there because you can’t be alone. Focus on your children.

Make him leave and tell him there will no longer be anything happening between the two of you. No one is saying he still can’t be there for the child but damn who the hell does he think he is to treat you like that? He’s basically keeping you around for whenever he decides he wants you… But girl seriously you deserve so much better.

Hi, there’s so much abuse here. He’s not going to change. You might want to contact a domestic violence agency to help you make a safety plan because chances are when you start to make boundaries, we will act out. Good luck to you and your baby!

He threatened to KILL you and your child. Get the fuck away from him! Call the police and have him evicted. Get a protective order if you can get one, they aren’t so easy to get.

This is real. Listen to him he is showing and telling you what he is. He’s abusive, and you’re being taken advantage of. Please leave before you’re the next mother and child we’re all searching for all over the country. :sob:

The situation that you’re in, is YOUR fault. Your doing wife things for a man that doesn’t even wanna be in a relationship with you. You may be stuck with him in your life since you’re having a child together, but that doesn’t mean you have to be with him in anyway. If he’s single, you’re single. Period. Cut him off, now. Or it’s only gonna get worse for you.

Get out now!! Is that what you want to show your daughters? Do you want them to think that, that is how a man should treat you? Do you want your son to think that’s how you’re supposed to treat women? They can all feel how you feel and can tell how miserable you are even if they don’t say it. I was in a marriage like that. I woke up while they were still young (I had 3kiddos in less than 3yrs) and got out. My kids can tell I’m happier with out their father. They know a normal a life because I didn’t want them to think that was a normal life. Their dad saw that kind of behavior and thinks it’s ok and it’s not. Don’t allow yourself to be treated like that. Don’t allow that kind of stuff around your kids. You’ll move on you’ll be happier. I’m a proud single mama for a 4yr old, 3yr old, and almost 2yr old. Go through the courts and put it all on paper!

He’s going to do what you allow because he’s clearly a selfish jerk. So you will have to take control of your heart & life. Change the locks, have him remove his items, create a co-parenting plan and be single too.

He’s clearly not being faithful to you but not allowing you do see others which isn’t always easy at 6 m preggy but that’s not the point. I would say dump his ass but he’s saying he’s single so, so are you and can do what you want quit letting him play boyfriend role with a “friend” name

I’m sorry this is happening to you. You must change the locks. Not let him close to you or the children. Let him know he can have a dna after the baby is born and that he can have parental rights.
Pays no bills, comes and goes as he pleases, avoids affection, has no intention of becoming a family.
And he is abusive.
Once is all it takes.
Get out. change the locks. You have to be strong. You made your own people and you are responsible for their well-being. He will only escalate the abuse weather it’s mental or physical it’s all red flags. Men don’t change. Tell him goodbye.

Girl it wont be long and he will be flat out beating you.

Why should he commit when he gets everything he wants without doing a single thing to earn it.

I’m not sure why you have to ask what you should do. Just because you’re pregnant does not mean you have to be with him. Girl you need to sit down and give yourself a talk about your worth. He’s told you you’re not in a relationship with him then that’s what he means. When someone shows you how they feel about you believe them. If I were you I would wait till he went to work and I would go a very long ways away to some friends he doesn’t know about and I would disappear because he sounds like the kind of guy that will do some major harm to anybody who comes near you and you and your kids

Change the locks and put his shit on the curb. The abuse has only just begun. No way in hell he’s single and you’re indebted to him as long as “his child is inside you”. Absolutely not. You need some friends and family to be your biggest advocates right now because it seems you can’t really do it alone. Your children deserve better. If having a man is that important to you, there are plenty more where he came from but he… is not the one.

OMG!!! If you already have other children, and this Man is a narcissist and abuser (you said he’s already pushed you down and around like a rag doll), why on earth are you NOT changing the locks and reporting him to the police? I’d be more interested in protecting your other children from seeing the abuse you are taking (and believing it’s alright), than holding on to this piece of garbage. Get in touch with a local support group and get him out of your life NOW while you still can. You owe it to your children and unborn child to get as far away from an unstable and dangerous relationship, as possible. Change the locks and if he causes a scene, call the police. Get out now!!!

Toxic AF! Get the hell out of there! Lock your door, don’t let him stay over or do his laundry, or anything. He said he’s single? Well, you are too and you don’t need some fool pushing you around and dictating what you can do. You may have feelings but seriously this is not a person you want in the future.

If for no other sake.leave now…tell him not to come back around.he is abusing you,and your daughters see this. Don’t let you children grow up believing this is acceptable, because you accepted it.you deserve better your kids deserve better.you in your heart know this. You are stronger then you believe. You need to find something to help build your self esteem. Think long term,day after day,year after year.is this what you want? I doubt it. Make a break now. Tell him you will go through a lawyer about child support and visitation for new baby. This is your one and only precious life.I am praying for you.

First off your not stuck. You have more rights than you think dear. Stand up for yourself and that unborn child. Your just an option to him and that child will never be a priority. Let him go! He will only cause you more heartache and pain than he is worth.

Change the locks. Change your phone number and move on. Protect those kids from this jerk.
