No support from boyfriend

Has anyone else dealt with getting no support from their boyfriends or husbands about getting pregnant? I certainly didn't make a baby by myself and now he is freaking out about financials and everything .How did you handle it?

I completely feel you and am going through this also. Its so nerve racking and we have known for six weeks. I can tell you he has gotten better since I first told him and I think he will continue too. I have my Nuchal U.S. on 2/13 so hoping that will help him become more attached and less freaked out. But let me tell you what at the beginning with him it was abortion or nothing he hated the idea and I had to leave for about a week. Hope it doesn't come to that for you.

@ 1st my boyfriend was the same way. No support,  wanted me to terminate the pregnancy. I told him "you don't wanna be a part of this..OK bye" and didn't speak to him for a few days....he came around.  Not saying that's what you should do bit. .likely he's worried becuz traditionally providing is considered the man's job. He's probably processing and learning to accept! :)

I am going thru this right now...& this will be our 3rd child together (our youngest is 10)...I think they are in shock and it takes some men a lil longer to grasp the idea that their life will be changing & its a scary thing...hopefully things will get better for u & me as well because you are definitely right you didn't make the baby by yourself...best wishes & congrats!
