possibly pregnant, totally lost

I've posted here before, but a quick intro: 26, 2.5 year relationship. He has a young child. For the first six months of our relationship, he lied and cheated on me with the mother of his child. Then, after we decided to try to make it work, and were living together for about 6 months, he cheated on me again with a girl we both worked with(we were working in the service industry). That led to me quitting and him moving out, but somehow we decided to try to make THAT work. After another 6 months of us casually hanging out, he moved back in. Now, we live together and his kid stays with us part time. Things go up and down with us. Lots of trust and insecurity issues, obviously. He got a new job at another bar, something I am none too happy about and the latest cause of our arguments. So, now I am suspecting I am pregnant, totally an accident. Not confirmed yet, but if so, I am so scared. Last night we got in an argument because every time he works, he ends up home 4 or 5 hours after the place closes. He says theres just a lot of side work and it's not that I don't believe him about that, but it's frustrating because he used to be far more sensitive to me asking questions about where he is and what he's doing. Now, he says I'm ridiculous and he dreads work because he dreads my questions about it. I understand that I chose to be in this relationship but he promised me he would not get angry over my insecurities because he is the cause of them. I was planning to tell him I might be pregnant last night, then we got in an argument and I just blurted it out. Today we argued again because he is still pissed about my questioning him, and He left with no kiss or hug. Then I sobbed for like an hour and couldn't stop. He says I'm mean to him and no longer sweet like I used to be. I have repeatedly told him that we are both responsible. My reactions drive his and his drive mine and so on. So I'm just really upset and scared and nervous and feel alone. If I am pregnant, I don't want an abortion but I also don't want to bring a child into an unstable home. Please help me. Thank you.

Tmarie, I think you probably need more help than you can get on an internet forum & I would encourage you to make contact with your clergy of choice (be careful of the ones you *don't* know; there are people who go into the religious life so they can tell other people what to do, & it seems like they cluster in the service, counselling, or pastoral care careers).

Can you get help or input from your parents or other family?

One thing is sure:
this guy is *not* father material, he's not a 'family man', he's bad news, & if you tie yourself & your child to him, you'll have constant, unrelenting conflict for the rest of your life, & your child will suffer a miserable childhood, growing up in a chaotic, disfunctional environment.

You don't have to have an abortion if you don't want to, but if you wnat to raise this child, you *must* have the resources to do so (ie, money, income), because you'll never get a child support check without dragging this guy into court, & if you do that, he'll insist on visitation & will not treat the baby any better than he's treated you, maybe even worse, since he'll be able to blame the child for the drain on his paycheck.

& that's the kind of thing that leads to screaming, slapping, terrorizing, beating.

Adoption is another option, & it might be the best one, for you & for the baby, & it might be the 'right thing to do'.

Check with some reputable agencies, & maybe some lawyers or your clergy, & give it some long, deep, hardl thought.

I wish you the best.

I'm a bit late to the party here and not a lighting guru at all, but I wonder if you have any ability to put some skylights in this room? If it were through the lowered part of the ceiling I guess it would have to be one of the solar light tube type - they perform quite extraordinarily. With respect to the light box, I can see how much of an issue shadows will be, and for that reason I'd actually be curious to see how the original installation performed. And to use the problem as part of your solution, if you had not already embarked on a course I would consider lighting aimed at the sides of the recess to reflect at a better angle to your cabinets and work areas. If you can't get the light radiating to where you need it, then bouncing it might be a useful concept to work with next, if you find your solution unsatisfactory. Karin L

Love - See? That's what I get for ever listening to a thing she said! LOL! Sheesh! I figured ONE of her lies must be closer to the truth. Guess I figured wrong. LOL! Oh well.....Just remember that as much attention as she wants/needs, you don't want to have THAT kind of attention. And you're better off not having any attention at all than to have that. I know that's a PITA to do, but it's definitely the truth. A friend started dating a married man in March of 07. She found out she was pregnant with his baby in August 07. They weren't using any kind of protection......at all. He didn't have any kids and she already had a 8 y/o son from a previous relationship and had been very adamant that she didn't want any more kids because she had preeclampsia (sp?) with her son. He was still married. He didn't file for divorce until after they found out. His divorce was final in November 08. So then they broke their lease to move in with his mom because she was on bed-rest and only getting 60% of her pay. This was in February 08. Baby born in March 08. He proposed to her in like May 08. They started planning a wedding. Then didn't have enough people to pay for it so decided to go to Vegas instead. No one to foot the entire bill for that so they postponed. Instead of getting married, they rented a house (but only about 80% of it) and got a puppy. I just got an invitation to their reception because they're going to the courthouse on Friday to get hitched. BTW, he hadn't even been divorced a year. OH! And here's a kicker....his ExW's name is the same name as my friend's. How smooth is this dude??? All of that to say that I feel jealousy all the time because I've been waiting oh so patiently for FDH to propose. Every last one of my friends has gotten married and had babies in the time since FDH and I started dating. Hellyeah it stings! And my friend doesn't make it better because they're always trying to one-up us as if beating us to the alter is some great feat. But I don't want it the way they have it. I don't want everyone not thinking it will last.

I caught part of last night's 20/20 program, only because the tuner was on ABC and when we finished watching a couple of programs that we'd recorded earlier in the week, 20/20 was on. So, I only saw maybe 20 minutes of the show. But, from what I saw, it didn't appear that either of the two have a job. So, it appears to me that although Barbara Walters made a point of saying that 20/20 was not paying the couple for their appearance on the program, they are seeking out publicity for the money.

I agree with Slyvia, this guy is NOT father material. He's NOT husband material, he's NOT even boyfriend material.

I would never push someone into doing something they don't want to do, but bringing a child into a situation like this is just not responsible.

You've already made one mistake by getting pregnant by this guy, don't make another one by bringing a child into this messed up scenario.

Tmarie, do you have any family nearby? You need counseling, be it from church, a medical professional, family friend, SOMETHING. We are trying to help you but the help you need is more than can be found on the internet.

And please get birth control. Birth control pills are the best, but if you can't afford them or for some reason can't take them, then please use spermicide. At one time I used this birth control, I forget the name of it, but it was like a thin piece of film, that you folded up and put inside you before having sex. I used it for a while and didn't get pregnant. You can get it at the drug store and was less than $20. Condoms break, so I encourage you to use some kind of spermicide, it's pretty cheap and you don't have to worry about it breaking like a condom. But if I was you, I'd be using a condom in addition to the spermicide, since there's no guarantee your boyfriend is being faithful.
