28 due 27/8 verge of relationship breakdown

[SSSamantha]

Hi there
Was wondering if there are any pregnant women out there that are not in the best relationship and have contemplated leaving their partners.
I am......
Would love to chat to anyone who will listen and I guess would feel alot better about myself if there are others going through the same thing.
I currently live in Coogee and will be finishing up work this friday, bubs is due on 27th August. Im really excited and cant wait. I am in a realtionship but Im not sure if its my hormones or what but I am miserable at the moment partner has a problem with drinking, drugs and gambling and to top it of has a short temper and is very defensive we are constantly fighting and he blames me and I blame him and so on and so forth.
I welcome all comments even negative ones

No question about it, i would leave, i wouldn't want to deal with him like that while you are bringing a baby into the world. Having a newborn is stressful enough without fighting and arguing with him.

Vee's right, I'd leave too. You and your baby need to be in a safe and loving environment. I'd tell him to clean up his act while you are gone(maybe give him 2 weeks to show improvement before you deciding if you are going to go back or not).

Sorry to be so harsh, but IMO it doesn't sound like the best place to raise a child.

first off have a :hugs:

When I was pregnant with ds1, my partner was using drugs, doing crime, getting arrested etc. He was also cheating on me but that's a different post altogether lol. I was terrified of bringing up the baby alone so silly me tried to make it all work. I even followed him to the other side of aus when ds was 2mnths old.. I tried and tried and tried for a further 18mnths (just over 3yrs in total) and the day a needle and some tablets fell out of his pants onto the floor next to my baby I broke down, rang drug councellors etc then rang my mum and said "I can get bub and I to Adelaide, can you help me get the rest of the way (from vic to perth) I want to come home'
People think I was cowardly in the way that I left but it was the only way I would ever leave. I waved him off to work one morning, watched his car disappear then ran like crazy to get my pre packed and hidden suitcases, load ds and bags into the pram and then walked to the interstate bus depot round the corner.. I spent an hour hiding in case he left work early (which he did it turns out lol) and that was probably the scariest hour of my life.. Ds and I spent the next 8hrs on the bus to adelaide then jumped on a plane to perth..
It was the best thing I ever did for myself and for my son :)

:hugs: sounds like you need them..
