heartbroken

Well I'm facing a difficult stage in my relationship with the father of my child. We are engaged and have been happily in love for a long time. But lately I've been feeling like I might have to do all this on my own. Is there anyone who knows what im going through???

I know exactly what your going through i was married and we got pregnant and we were sooo happy about that but then as the pregnancy progressed he became more and more distant, i than came to the relization that i was probably going to be doing this on my own, 2 weeks before i had our son i  found out my husband had been having multiple affairs during the time of our marriage, that was heartbreaking to me, so things ended between us and he has never had anything to do with his son, who is now 14 months old. I wont say its easy to do on your own there are difficult moments but when it comes down to it, you can handle it, you know you just have to be strong for that baby and everything else doesnt matter anymore.

I understand. We are still together but so much of the time I think he is so caught up in t.v. or whatever and doesn't make time for his baby. I think of leaving because of it. I feel like I do EVERYTHING by myself... Our babies need the best. We must always make time. It's all about them.

I know what you are feeling. I was married when I got pregnant, but when I was 4 months my husband went to boot camp and when he came back I had gainned 30lbs and was 7 months and then once the baby was born I felt like I was doing everything, sure every now and again my husband would help out but I felt like it was not enough. Now my son is 15 months and I still feel like I am doing most of the work, but mommies give up more then daddies. And just because they don't all pick up the slack does not mean they don't love you or the baby, they are just not as good as taking care of children as mommies are. Hang in there and don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. It does get better.
