You are about to have a baby. You do not have time to devote 24/7 to playing fire fighter in your relationship. You are better off single, than with someone who is borderline abusive, someone who neglects your needs, someone who you've constantly got to be on pins and needles. You simply will not have time for it, without taking away from your baby. Do not be one of those girls that tells yourself "No one else will want me once I have a child". Not true. But also don't follow your past trends, and jump right into another unhealthy one. I believe it is time in your life that you learn to be happy with you...to stand on your own two feet emotionally and focus on your health and happiness so that your baby can be a happy and healthy baby. What you expose your child to, even as a baby, affects who they will be for the rest of their lives. Is your current situation one you really want to expose your baby to?

DITTO to what Little said. I've never been a cheater, but I've been with one.....and what she's saying is so true. He distrusted me. He accused me. He called me crazy, jealous, insecure if I EVER questioned him in the way he questioned me. He made me feel like I was SUCH a failure in the relationship. He criticized my appearance. He withheld affection from me. When I'd practically beg to know how to rectify it, he'd always come up with something...just to keep me trying. "Maybe you should do this more" "Maybe you should do that more" "Well maybe if you showed me more appreciation....". I exhausted myself. And for nothing......he was cheating on me the whole time and it wouldn't have mattered if I had jumped through firey hoops for him.
