    We have been together almost 8 months
    and im pregnant...(i know..stupid)
    but lately my attitude is pushing alot of people away especially my boyfriend.
    he keeps saying im hurting him and putting him through hell and im also causing alot of stress on everyone around me..which is unhealthy for my baby and my relationship.
    tonight i simply said "maybe we should take a break and think"
    he said okay and then left and now is claiming im hurting him more than anything...
    we have both agreed our child wont end up without his/her father in its life but at this rate..im not sure whats going to happen
    please help me figure out how to get through this with him...

    As opposed to letting him tell you that you're hurting him, how about you actually sit down together and TALK about what the issues are. Taking a break at this stage, in my opinion, isn't the best option. He should ideally be with you, helping you, talking to you. A healthy relationship is essential, especially when you're pregnant.
    Hope things work out well.

    Yes, If you love him do not let him go. Talk to him and try to work things out.

    "Well i feel as if i cant blame my mood on my pregnancy"

    Of course you can; change in mood is a massive part of pregnancy, your hormones are all over the place and no one should expect you to be happy all the time. I was going to comment further on what you went to say, but you've now said that you're happy and you're getting on well with him. I'm glad to hear it. Good luck with everything.

    Sluvious i TOTALLY disagree on the therapist comment you said. with time she can become strong and end up helping people that need help. I think the ONLY good therapist out there are the ones that have gone through hardships in their life and can relate to what their patients are saying. If the therapist has had a happy go lucky life the patient will feel like EVEN THEIR THERAPIST DOESNT UNDERSTAND so why waste their time. I like ALOT of ppl am very depressed with things and i have had a HARD life and im only 20 but ALL my friends come running to me when they need advice because im veryyy good at it but sadly most of the time i just cant help myself but in the future i think if i get my stuff together and become a STRONGER person i would be an AMAZING therapist just like xxbrokeninsidexx can become...i know this post has nothing to do with what the advice she was askin for but i couldnt read what sluvious said and not comment on that

    ^Yeah, but you can't help other people with their problems if you aren't/can't work out your own.

    Oh, and I totally agree with Fluffy.

    I know what you are going through, because I am in the exact same situation, I think its the stress of the whole being pregnant thing
    I still have to tell my parents and everything and I feel like this stress and everything is pushing me and fiance apart, more and more...
    Try to relax and think before you speak...
    Because later you might regret them...
    Talk about it....
    COMMUNICATION... that is what is helping us right now.... because if i get mad and just blurt things out, its not going to work out...
    Or think about what you want?
    Do you really want this?
    Or is there more to it?
