I am a first time mom that just divorced my husband a year ago. I began dating a wonderful man six months ago and...whoops. We're having a baby! He's been so great about everything, never once putting blame on me or stressing me out. My concern is the stress this will put on our relationship as we haven't been dating very long. Anyone else been in a similar situation? It's highly unusual, I know.
Yeah...it's a bit of a shock because just a year ago I'd been with the same guy for nearly a decade. He kept telling me he could have kids but we tried so hard and never could - I know now that he wasn't telling me the truth, about that and many other things. And then along comes this guy and WOW what a difference. He's sweet and thoughtful, and although our relationship is new-ish, I have few doubts about our ability to persevere together. I'm very very lucky. My only regret is not leaving my abusive husband sooner.
@morgan.whitcraft I was with my SO for two months when I got pregnant and in may it will be going on two years. It was very stressful because you don't know each other in that little of time and then you add a baby to the mix.
I feel like if he is a good dude and things are meant to be they will work out. If he is able to understand what you are about to go thru and willing to be there for you more power to him cause that is awesome. It shows he is willing to stick by your thru thick and thin. I think you will find out sooner rather than later though so that's prob a good thing. I have my fingers crossed that you guys stick it out together!! I also think and this is just my opinion cause I don't know the ins and outs of your relationship that maybe slowly ease him into the baby part of it? Is he excited? What are his thoughts? Some men I feel like are just ready to step into daddy role while other need a ton of time and patience cause they act like scared little kittens at first (this is my relationship sadly) good luck! I'll be waiting to hear some good stuff from you!
