due to give birth next week and boyfriend breaks up with me
Hi, I'm 39 weeks pregnant and my boyfriend has just told me he doesn't see us having a future together. He said he's been feeling like this for a week, (only a week?!!!!) He says its not my fault and he wants to support me and the baby and he still loves and cares for me. I don't understand :( we've never broken up before so I have a feeling this is the real deal, I just don't want to accept it. I don't want to be a single mom at 19, he's ripped my heart out :( I really hope he changes his mind and realises he still wants to be with me. I feel so scared and alone right now.

What a fucking dick. Wow. I can't even fathom that. Just don't sweat it. Worry about yourself, worry about your baby, and listen to you family.

You have to talk to him about this. Make sure thats what he really wants. It's a terrible thing for him to do but you have to try and talk to him. Maybe it is just cold feet. Find out the reason why he wants to break up with you.
I do agree Jared to a degree. If you talked to him, and he still leaves you then you don't want someone like that around your kid in the first place. In that case, just focus on you and the baby and try to make the best of things. I'm sorry to hear about that though. Hopefully, things work out for you.

Just try not to think about it, once that beautiful baby is there she/he will be enough they will take your full attention
From joy to sorrow, yesterday to tomorrow, you've been there. Friends like you are rare, your touch is so gentle,
You're my guardian angel.
Like a blossoming flower spreading your wings in grace, filling my heart with power
by feeling your embrace.
Wherever the wind may blow, we will overcome this war, in times happy or sore, I will never let you go.

...this is why I don't think young people should have children.
Emma - are you 100% sure your relationship was working before he announced that he was breaking up with you? How was his reaction when he found out you were pregnant? How long had you been dating?
It's unfortunate and harsh that your boyfriend choose now of all times to break up with you. This is an important period of your life, and with you soon having a child then you're going to need all the help and support you can get. I don't want to judge your boyfriend too harshly based on what little information I have. If he's "running away" because of the child then I think he lacks maturity and responsibility, in which case you shouldn't want him in your life anyway. If he's leaving for legitimate reasons, then I just hope for your and the child's sake that he keeps that promise to support you.
What you need to do is sit down and talk with your boyfriend civilly, and in a relaxed environment. You need to find out EXACTLY why he's leaving and then judge for yourself if there's any way to save the relationship. He claims he still loves and wants to support you, so assuming he's being honest then I do think there is a chance - it's up to you to act like grown-ups and find out what you both want.
