2nd Trimester

I'm now a single mom to be, not joking

Without getting too into details because I'm trying to keep calm, I found proof that my fianc? has been chatting with other girls, I just discovered he picked one up over the weekend when he was supposedly out with his friends Disclaimer: I'm 32, educated, not a "fool" so to speak and he had me completely duped. I'm devastated, due in 9 weeks and baffled as to what the hell to do now. Obviously he is packed and gone, beyond that I'm lost (and clearly out of my head to be posting on a message board) I guess I just needed to get that out Any happy thoughts or prayers for me and my daughter are truly welcome

  • No, that's the salt in the wound. I had him thrown out Sat, Sunday was the year anniversary of my fathers death, who passed away 5 months after my mom lost her battle with cancer. I don't think it can get worse :-(

  • I'm sorry to hear this but you're doing the right thing for you & your LO. I am still finalizing my PITA divorce from my ex-husband who I found out had been cheating on me for three & a half years with a friend (in addition to online dating websites).

  • I'm so sorry to hear that.  It's admirable of you to stand up for yourself when you're in such a vulnerable position right now.  Good for you!  You'll be a good role model for your child.

  • I was married before. I found out he was cheating on me. It is an awful feeling. It sounds like you have had suspicions for a while? I am not saying that makes it easier but it does ease the blow as you have more time to ease in to it. I asked a psychologist about that one time and he said that the sooner you know the sooner you can start the grieving process (for everything - the lost dreams, trust, etc).

    I am educated and was 28 when I discovered this. You don't have to be a fool to have this happen to you but for a while you will feel like one. That passes. I was supporting this man and his two sons from a previous marriage financially.

    Please find someone who can advise you well on separating assets, credit cards and anything else you have that you may have already combined. The sooner you do that the better. He already made some stupid decisions so there is no telling what other idiotic things he is going to do (I am watching a friend go through this right now and her DH just spent a  $1000 for a week for him and his girlfriend in a hotel.)

    If you have any questions or need anything please let me know.

    God Bless.

  • Have faith that everything will be ok. ?Good luck.
  • OMG I am so sorry for you. You know we are here for you when you need to talk. Even with all of this going on just remember you have a baby in there and you need to take care of her.
  • I'm so sorry you're going through this. My sister's husband did this to her when she was like 10 weeks pregnant, he decided he "didn't want THIS" (meaning their marriage where they actively tried to get PG) anymore. It was so sad. It was painful for her. I strongly suggest counseling if you can get some to help you through and past this.

    Do you have any close friends to lean on during this time?

  • God, I am so sorry. And I'm sorry to hear that this coincides with the date of your father's death. You're really doing a good thing though, by ending the relationship -- both for you and your daughter. You will be a stronger mother because of this, and your daughter will understand what it means for a woman to be independent and have self-respect.

    Thinking of you, sweetie.

  • I'm so sorry. I can't imagine what you're going through. Thoughts and prayers for you and your daughter! You'll make it.

  • I'm so sorry that you have to go through something like this right now...so close to bringing your LO into this world.  I think it shows amazing courage and strength to stand up for you and your daughter.  You are going to make a wonderful role model for your daughter!  Although I'm sure it will be hard, sometimes single-parent households are much healthier for kids in the end.  Although your parents have passed, I hope you'll be able to lean on close friends and family for support.  Have faith that it will all work out for the best!

  • Wow. What an as*hole.

    I know this is the last thing you want to be doing right now. But you may want to consult a lawyer about child support proceedings in your state. Whether or not he wants to be a part of the child's life, he is half responsible for making the child and therefore supporting the child.

    I'm wishing you and your daughter the best!!! =)  Lean on your family and your friends; I am sure they will be more than willing to be there for you.

  • Sorry to hear about your situation.  Just know you are better without him in your life, but he should still be in your LO's life.  My sister is a single mother and has no problem finding good men to date, so there is much hope you will find a better man!

  • Wow.  I'm sorry that this is happening to you right now but know that everything happens for a reason.

  • ::Sending happy thoughts your way::  I know it may not feel like it right now, but you will get through this.  And when you do, you know you'll be able to deal with anything life throws your way.  It sounds like it's been one hell of a year, but that just means your LO is the most blessed child in the world to have such a strong Mom to look up to.  My husband's mom went through something similar right before he was born; she's now a happy woman and he turned out to be a stellar man.  It does work out in the end.
  • I am really really sorry. I don't even have any advice because I can barely comprehend what you're going through. I will just say that you obviously know to stay strong for the baby and I wish you the best of luck and will send prayers.
  • Its a tough road but  certainly not impossible.  My first LO and I did it on our own for almost a year... its do-able!

    Good Luck and let us know whats going on :)

  • Im begining to think that I may be right there with you.... :(

    so you have allllll my thoughts and prayers.

  • I'm so sorry.  I don't know what to say but I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

    I'm so sorry. I haven't read the comments, but I wanted to say something about the disclaimer you put up there: some guys are just REALLY good at putting on a show. I don't think anyone would think you a fool for being in the dark once- especially now that you've done the right thing for yourself by getting rid of him.

    Good luck- I'm very sorry that you are going through this.?
  • My older sister was much like you at 30, smart and successful (always a role model to me). She was newly pregnant and still a newlywed when she found out her new husband was living a double life. She left him, taking everything with her, including all of the light bulbs in their condominium.

    When I told her I was pregnant she said that even though she was going through a divorce during her pregnancy it was still the most incredible time of her life and nothing could have taken that feeling away from her. Now, 13 years later, she has an awesome daughter, husband, and step children. Her ex has grown up and has a new family but lives just a few miles away and is a huge part of his daughter's life.

    Be strong for yourself and your baby. It sounds like you already are.

    I'm so sorry this is happening to you. Try to be calm, and talk to close friends or other family members. There are also support groups that can help with this, so you might look into that. This is a terrible thing to be going through on your own. I will say a prayer for you tonight.

    I am so sorry! I hope you have good friends and family nearby to help you through this! I'll definitly be thiking of you and your daughter.
  • Aww hun, I'm so sorry to hear this. After your last post about confronting him about cheating I was really hoping that it wouldn't end up like this. I don't even know you and Im genuinely sad for you, but I know how it goes.

    I give you so much credit for sticking up for yourself even though this isnt how you wanted it to end. It took 4 years of physical and mental abuse and knowing of at least 13 woman that my former FI (who is my DD's father) slept with before we(DD and I) literally packed our bags and ran away while he was gone for the day...we never looked back. She was only 2 years old. 

    I will keep you in my prayers but honestly, the hardest part is over...while this part is the saddest, you made it through the storm. God will take care of you.

  • I can't even begin to imagine how hard this is for you, but you are making the best decision possible for you, your child, and your future.  You sound like a very strong individual who has already made some big decisions and choices that in the long run are the best for you and your baby.  My ed. assistant is 26 and a single mom and one of the best parents I've ever met!  It can be done.  You sound like you have a very good head on your shoulders, and I pray that everything works out well for both of you.
