Q: Pregnant And Alone

so today was a really ruff day. I had a suspicion that i was pregnant a couple days ago because I missed my period. So today I took a pregnancy test. It was positive. I was going to wait until fathers day to tell my boyfriend because I thought that it would make him happier, but I called his phone tonight and some girl answered saying she was sleeping with my boyfriend. I ask him about it and he was drunk and said no but he was defending her when I called her a nasty health forum. He turned his phone off after one of our mutual friends tried talking some sense into him but he turned his phone off. when he turns his phone on I am going to break up with him, but I dont know what to do about the baby. I know that I'm young but I've been waiting for this since I had my miscarriage months ago. I just dont know wether to keep him in my life 100% for the baby, if i do i wont get over him but i dont want to cut him out for our child sake. Please offer me expecially if you are kindof in my type of situation.

Having a baby is NO excuse to keep a no good man in your life. You can't force them to stay either, thats his choice. I have been in your shoes while I was pregnant and my baby's father and I planned our baby.
He does need to know if he dosen't already and you guys need to be adults about the situation. It's not just about you and him anymore. Theres another life involved.
Just know this forum is very helpful and I have been coming on here since I was 16 and 2 months pregnant.
I am 18 now with a 1 yr. old baby boy and sometimes I don't think I would have made it as far as I have without the help from everyone on this forum
We're all here to help with questions and all.

Basically Alone
I met a great great man last August. We met and fell quickly in love and I moved in with him about a week later. Seemed like a great idea. About 2 months later we moved into our own place- away from the roomates we had-and went to Las Vegas. It was a crazy week and needless to say, I got pregnant. We have not gotten along much for the last few months. I'm about to be 22, he is 23. He cannot budget money at all. He blows it on beer all of the time. He tries to get me to drink wine with him all the time. And I won't for obvious reasons. About a month ago, he got completely bombed (like always) and was slurring and being sloppy and I just started to pack my bags to leave. I honestly was going to leave. But I gave him another 2nd chance. So last wednesday he came home and said he was very tired, went right to bed. Then I tried to wake him up because there was someone on tv that I thought he knew, and he smelled like alcohol. I went out to his work truck and there was a bottle of bud ice sitting there not opened. That just showed me that he drank 5 out of the 6. Come to find out I was right. (Also, he has 2 previous DUI's, if he gets caught again, he goes to jail for 18 months, NO MATTER WHAT) So not only did he lie about drinking, he risked going to jail.....so i told him, no more drinking, i will go stay at my parents next time you drink. and of course, he begged me all day while i was running errands for my boss about drinking. we ended up getting in a huge fight b/c i said i was going to my parents. I came home and he wrote me a note giving me a guilt trip. So i broke up with him. But sadly to say, I don't have much money saved, our apartment, car insurance, cell phones, everything is all in both of our names. So it's not that easy to break up...i dont know what to do. he wont get help and hes gonna continue to get drunk al the time. i just want him to not drink but i dont think hes gonna change. but im so scared to be alone but i feel like theres no other option.
