Divorced During Pregnancy Posted: 01-08-08 02:00am
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
