He doesn’t want to be a dad anymore or even a husband

I’m heartbroken my husband doesn’t want to be a dad anymore. Our son was planned and we were engaged when we were trying for him and yes it happened quicker then we expected but the pregnancy was hard and resulted in an emergency c section. I used to be skinny and of course now I am big which is natural and I will lose the weight but I haven’t been able to do any strenuous exercises. Our son is a lot to handle but there has not been a single day where I have regretted having him. My husband on the other hand tells me he regrets having him all of the time and even told me he wants to separate and not do it anymore. He told me he will pay for me and the baby to live elsewhere so that he doesn’t have to be there for us anymore. It’s not a money situation as he said he will financially provide but I am utterly broken from the lack of moral and emotional support from him. I really wanted our marriage to work and even on Valentine’s Day he’s proposing to split up. On New Year’s Eve he told me there’s nothing proud that happened in 2024 even though I gave birth to our gorgeous boy. I’ve really been trying to push through with him and don’t want to raise my boy Alone. I’m scared my son will blame himself when he’s older for us divorcing so soon after he was born. It’s such a messy situation the last thing I want is our family to break apart but this man Refuses marriage counselling. I’m a SAHM and I just wish he would love and take care of our family and me the way he promised he would when he proposed.

The reason you would get a divorce isn’t because of your son I hope it would be because you don’t want to be with someone that doesn’t want to be active in your sons life even especially if that’s his own father. You should want more for your yourself and son.

You will find your happy ending to be loved and cared for and your son. But that man ain’t it. You need to leave ASAP before that baby gets hurt or worse. He’s been telling u his feelings. Actions don’t come long after. Please leave and get therapy for yourself. I hope u have a good support system mama

You deffo don’t need counselling, you need to leave and find someone who will appreciate you . I’m so sorry he’s been like this with you , our son wasn’t planned it it’s the best thing that’s happened to us .

I know it’s terrifying raising a little one on your own, but at the end of the day, it’s for the best. Little ones are sponges and soak up everything, he will start to pick up on the fact that his dad doesn’t want him, and that will affect him more than if you leave. I know it’s hard, but you’re strong, and I know you’ll get through this and get your happy ending with your son

I know it’s hard to hear, but you don’t need marriage counselling. He simply doesn’t care, and doesn’t want to be involved anymore. Leave, and find peace for yourself and your son. That man doesn’t deserve you.

Wow! No words!

Please get in touch if you need a friend. I’m so sorry. He doesn’t deserve either of you

I went through similar..we've been no contact now for three weeks. Its hard to now have what you never envisioned however my little girl is so much happier.. To the point a lot of people have noticed how much happier she is. You deserve and deserved better. Xx

I know it’s scary to start off fresh with a new little baby, but please for his sake- leave this toxic situation! Take him up on his offer. Spend the next few days looking for a new place for you and Bubba man to move into. Be proactive— do not wait for him to take action. I know it’s hard but you have to be the strong one, now. Your little boy needs you to be strong.

I'm raising my boy alone and I won't lie there are hard days but even on hard days there are great moments and that's what we live for at the end of the day. I only want people in his life that want to be in it and prove that they do. Friends and family members. You will be okay.

Wow I'm so sorry
