Relationship Issues

I'm pregnant with my first child. This will be our first baby. Since being pregnant our relationship has been very rocky. I'm very excited for this baby and looking forward to what's to come, but everyday I have worries that I'm gonna be a single mom because my boyfriend is so distance and in a way doesn't take things seriously. I'm 22 and the 24. I'm not sure what I should do or how I should fix this. I need some advice please!

Women become moms when we get pregnant. Men become dads when they see the baby. Give him time, he will come around. If you press the issue, you will lose him.

I'm not saying you should do this, but maybe you should prepare to be a single mom just in case, maybe get your own place if you can, and if he wants to be involved great! Or maybe tell him before you sit down and talk that you don't want to argue you just want to clear the air and figure out how you guys are going to handle parenting. ..good luck!

I have tried talking to him but things end an argument and never go right. But I'm trying to remain stress free and work through this. But it's hard. Thanks for the advice!

The best thing to do is calmly sit him down and talk about where the future of your relationship is going. It has to be known that there is no halfway. Terms need to be clear has to will you guys be a complete family together or co parenting separately. Definitely explain that you want to know now for the benefit of your child, because that is the most important person. Every decision has to be the best for the child's wellbeing. Good Luck :-)
