Q: I had enough but is should I really tear our family apart?

Hello my name is April my fiance and I have been together almost a year and I feel that it is all for the wrong reasons... A couple of months ago he told me (now this could have been out of anger but it still is in the back of my mind) that my engagement ring isn't an engagement ring its a promise ring he got pushed into it.. In hindsight he won't even tell his parents that we are engaged like he is embarrassed.. But mind you less we didn't know that I was pregnant we didn't find out until Dec. 6th and the Dec. 26th we found out we were having twins.. He has also has said other things like if you weren't pregnant he would throw me to the curb... I am sure that I have said hurtful things too I am not a saint... But I really think that we are staying in this relationship for all the wrong reasons and later we both are going to be miserable... Also I have pulled out of work and put on bed rest but he really still expects and gets upset when I don't do laundry, dishes, cooks, cleans and other things.. I have been told to take it easy but it seems every week that I am cleaning the house and every 2 weeks doing laundry and then end up in the labor and delivery room with bad contractions.. I think also that this is a light bulb turning on in my head telling me that he isn't going to help after the boys are born.. But boo whoo me I just really want to end this relationships I know that their is no way we can go our own directions.. We are bring 2 boys in this world with in this month... What should I do??

Just in my opinion, you say you two really cant go your seperate ways? There is only one thing that will really help you two........ I dont know your religion or anything, but do you go to church? If you believe in God and you dont go to church, seriously start going to church together and start praying about it. Ive actually seen this work for a relationship. My bro and his wife started fighting all the time and was on the verge of seperation and someone got them to go to church and really pray about it and turned out it really helped them a lot. its been almost 2 yrs later, they worked threw everything and are still together. They had kids at the time also. I would just give it a try.

i wish the best for you guys, good luck!

If you want to make this work you both will have to put forth and honest effort to change. If you are beleivers then church is a great place to start. You can speak with a pastor or another married couple. I think its good that you want to try and make it work.

I guess you could have a sit down with him and share your concerns and feelings. But make sure to let him share his also. He may just be afraid of the babies. That is a huge responsibility having twins and a wife to care for. He could just be scared out of his mind and the only way he knows to take it out is through anger. Who knows what hes thinking. Thats why you need to ask him. Open up to him and share your fears also. Communication and respect is the key. Try this and see where it goes.

All I know is that a strong relationship takes work on a daily bases. Even more so when there are babies involved. Hubby and I have had some issues come up about our 1st baby coming up. And its been tough but we talk things through and try to never stay mad at each other. Good luck

Wow this sounds familiar, mine told me if I hadnt of gotten pregnant he would have left.

My advice RELATIONSHIP COUNSELING.............

You both need to be honest with each other, ask him if he really want to be with, if he is feeling tied down its going to cause more problems after, such as cheating or leaving you empty handed. Both of ytou should write down the pros and cons of each other and work on it, he cant expect you to do everything, it takes two people, if you cant work as a team it usually fails, if not now then maybe five years from now.

It take two people to fight, two people to have sex, so both side are pretty much equally to blame but what has been said to start it and if you want him to be honest than you can get mad if the wrong thing comes, men and some woman have a tendancy to be more blunt.
