Pregnant and trying to be stronger

[AliSuddenly]

Ok, DBing says no expectations, but your pregnant for gods sake! Its only natural, its a primeval instinct, you expect your mate to be there, to love you and provide for the baby, its your DNA kicking in, you're not a panda (the female b*ggers off and raises the baby by herself, male not required). So please stop apologising and beating yourself up. Its way way too early to try and lose your expectations and your feelings and doing things for you and all that stuff. You are vunerable right now and had a raelly sh*tty card dealt to you by life... you got pregnant, THEN your partner left. Its cruel and unfair and we all feel for you.

I'm so glad you have C tonight, I was going to ask when you had it next. Just look after yourself. If you want to feel down and hurt, go ahead. You will be too busy and tired to when the baby comes, but I hope you will be getting a lot of family support at least when she does, even if you're H cant. I know he will regret this, how can he not? My Uncle did, he left my Auntie for an OW when pregnant. He has spent the rest of his life regretting it. Dont think he is happy and skippy in his new life. Somewhere deep (very deep!?) inside him is a little voice telling him that what he has done is wrong, very wrong.

My auntie went through hell by the way, it took her 2 years and some Prozac to get over it. But then she met a wonderful man, who she has been with for 20 years and he has treated her like a Princess.
