Q: Divorced During Pregnancy
asked by: BrokenHeart08 on January 8th, 2008

Hello. I am 22 years of age. I have 1 daughter from a previous relationship, a son by my husband and one on the way. My husband, 44, and I have a lot of different views and disagree basically on everything. Prior to marriage, we never argued, nor did we fight about minor things. We have been married since April 2006. We got married when my daughter was approximately 7 months old; 1 month later I was pregnant with my son. This is when all of the problems started. I wouldn't have ever done it, but I did contemplate abortion. It was just so sudden and I wasn't ready to handle the responsiblity. Well, we endured the battle, and after my son was born, we hardly argued. Well, 4 months later, I found out that I was pregnant again, and the problems began again. I constantly hear that it's my pregnancy that causes us to argue, fight, etc.; however, I disagree. I believe that it's his insensitivity that has me feeling the way I feel. He constantly flips every situation and makes himself the victim. No matter what I say and do, I can never argue my side and points because the finger blame has already been placed on me. He told me as of yesterday that he wants a divorce. Now, I am really in a state of depression because I'm trying to figure out what my next steps are: from taking care of 3 kids alone to going back into the workforce (I'm a stay-at-home mom.). I don't know what to do. I constantly stay sad. I am, however, very excited about having this baby (another boy). I have tried to be happy, but every other day we have discussed divorce. PLEASE, someone give me advice on what to do! I don't want to lose my baby most importantly! All I do is cry!

I am sorry to hear what you are going through esp while you are pregnant. I can only imagine how hurtfull it must be. Have you two tried couples csl? Sometimes the stress of another baby can cause alot of arguments, maybe he just feels more pressure to be the bread winner. I am 5 weeks preg and all me and my ex did was argue it brought up so much stress, I hope he will change his mind about it later on but we will see. Hopefully your husband is only frustrated now, see if he will consider a counsler

take caution
u should not give birth to this child as it is ...u can go 4 an abortion within 20 weeks of ur pregnancy acc to the MTP act of 1971, which allows the termination of the unwanted pregnancy...bec giving birth is still easy but bringing up three children alone...or in an unhappy marriage(which wud be more frustating) is too tough....believe me giving proper education and being a role model to the kids...sharing love and providing propper attention of a dad as well as mom is not an easy job!!!
