His Reaction....

[MamaMia09]

I am 6 weeks pregnant and I told the father of the baby today. His reaction wasn't horrible but it wasn't too great either, I can tell he's not thrilled about it. We've been dating for 3 years (2 seriously). I'm 25 & he's 35 and we both have children from previous relationships I am a single mother to a 4 yr old girl. He was very quiet for the most part but stated he's not sure he's ready to be a father again....how can I make the best of this situation? I'm prepared to do it alone even if it's not how I hoped it'd turn out I know that much. Any and all advice is appreciated ladies (or gents) thanks!!

Take a deep breath. Im 21 and my other half just turned 30 and he has two kids from a previoys relatinship. We've been together now.almoat three years on and off, but two solid years together. Needless to say this was unplanned and he was not thrilled. It does get better though. We are now 33 and 2 and he is fully on board, and dare i say a little excited. Some guys just need some time, especially at a certain age, they start to worry about finances, the perils of being an "old" dad, thungs i never wouldhave imagined being issues. He'll come around. The best thing i did, and my beat advice, is dont be overly pushy. Let him know you need his support, but let him come to terms with this on his time. If you are too overbearing it may just make it that much more difficult on him. It'll all work out. Good luck and try not to stress too much.

My husband was not happy when he found out I was pregnant again.  He still gets scared but is excited to meet his new lil one.  I dont know y guys scare so easily...its not like they have to carry the baby for 9 months lol.  But give him time!

Sounds like a typical man's reaction! My husband told me the same thing up until I was in tears one day and told him I'd do it on my own if he wasnt ready!

He is in shock I went through the samething recently and now mine is all on board, give him time to adjust and Im sure you both will be on better terms than before

It's still early. Just give him time. He probably thought he was done and this caught him off guard- it is another financial responsibility among other things. Hope things sort out.

My partner is also not thrilled, but over the last few weeks he's been coming to terms with it, and seems like eventually he'll be okay. I am capable of going it alone, but it would be much better to have his support. If you know that you're capable of doing it alone, give him some time to come around. Tell him that you want to keep the baby (if that's what you want) and that you would appreciate his support. Make sure he understands that this is happening with or without him. It will be tough, but in time he might come around.

Men are men. My husband and I got pregnant (planned) and he was freaking. We had a miscarriage. Got pregnant again (planned) and he was on and off. Just nerves. Even this time which was also planned... He's like idk what I'm gonna do with 2 while you are at work! Nothing prepares a man for a baby! Maybe just give him time. And maybe its his age. My husband has it in his head that he won't have a baby after a certain age. I'm hoping to get that out of his head. Give him time to let it sink in. Make sure you guys talk about it and see what his actual issue is.

It might be a little shock at 1st for him. As long as u mentally prepare urself to be set with or without him u will be fine. He might come around. Does he still want to continue ur relationship? I would just focus all ur attention on the blessings of ur daughter & the baby in ur tummy. Wish you well dear!
