SO update: Break Up

morganakeene · September 2015

My boyfriend dumped me last night. Says he doesn't want to be with someone he can't 100% trust and he thinks now that I'm not the person he wants to spend his life with. We live together, we share my daughter from my previous marriage, and we have this LO on the way. I am shattered. Not sure what to do or where to go from here. The idea of being a single mom to two small children has me so stressed out. We planned this baby, I just don't understand how he can do this to me.

I'm so sorry you're going through this! I would try to do this one day at a time...that's really all you can do (sometimes one hour). You will be able to get through this. I promise! Just keep putting one foot in front of the other and focus on the positives. If you don't pray, I would start now. Xx

Awww I am super sorry that you are going through this!! Will be sending prayers your way! One day at a time! I hope you have support near by!! Xxxx

So sorry! Like PPs have said, reach out for support and don't be shy about asking for help. You can do this, but you deserve a good strong support system. If you don't have family around, maybe see if there is a local single mother's support group. Some churches have weekly programs where moms can get together and share. My mom was a single mom to three little girls and without the church mother's group, she would have really struggled. Feel free to PM. Hugs and prayers to you and your littles!

Sending positive vibes your way! My mom was a single mom of 4 for a long time and I know it can be hard but you'll get twice the hugs and twice the love from your little ones! Like others of said just take it day by day pm if you need to chat I've always got and ear to listen!

I'm so sorry. I've gone through a divorce and was a single mom for years. I thought my life was over. But it was a blessing in disguise. Focus on your kids and definitely reach out for support. No one deserves that. Good luck!

I'm so sorry. I can't imagine how angry/upset/confused you must be feeling right now. Be kind to yourself; surround yourself and your children with support. Family, friends, church, meetup.com, may all be beneficial. My mom got divorced very shortly after my twin sister and I were born and was a single, working mother to us for several years until she remarried. It can be done. You can do this. ::hugs::

I'm so sorry you're going through this. Dude sounds like a major scumbag

. Hang in there, mama, you're stronger than you know.

I am so sorry you are going through this. I'm sending lots of positive vibes your way. As PPs have said, take care of yourself right now, and take it one day at a time. Don't be afraid to ask for help.

Im so sorry to hear, I would of guessed it was nerves/cold feet at the thought of becoming a father, but after reading that you already have a child, he is being extrememly inconsiderate and selfish on his behalf, being pregnant is a hurricane of emotions and hormones as it is without added stress, I hope he see's sense and comes through xx

So sorry to hear this. Sending prayers and good vibes your way

Good riddance! If he does come back, make sure to evaluate whether you can 100% trust him before you say yes. And he probably will try: it's his kid after all. But make sure you do what's best for you and not just take him back because you're scared. And under any circumstances, he'll have to pay child support, so at least you'll have some financial help. But definitely seek out local pregnancy groups, even a crisis pregnancy center if you need it, for help.

Looking back through your posts, it seems like you guys had a lot of drama in a short amount of time (pregnant twice in a six-month relationship, and he didn't seem like he wanted the first one). I'm sorry to hear he's leaving, but I'm surprised you planned this pregnancy.

@BBHME There's always a reason for everything. He's coming around. Today we made some progress as he went to an ultrasound. He seemed to soften up a bit when he saw the heartbeat!
