Pregnant and he's wanting to leave

[sparks14]

May - Congrats on your upcoming baby! Your daughter will be a blessing in your life.

My heart goes out to you as well right now. My situation is a bit different than yours, except that my W and I had our first baby in August and have been married for 2.5 years as well.

Pregnancy and the anxiety/excitement of a first child can do some crazy things. I think your H is pretty confused right now. Just as a runaway bride would get before her wedding day, I can see how a future father would panic and lose himself before the reality of starting a family. I don't think this justifies his behavior, though.

If your H is willing, I think couples therapy would be a positive move. I know that my W and I have made a ton of progress just communicating with each other, so that has been huge for me. Maybe through this communication, you can really see where your H is mentally right now. It might also allow you to communicate to him where your concerns are.

Keep up with the child birth preparations. You really need to take care of yourself and that baby. I know it is difficult for you right now, but you have come to a good place. The wisdom on this board is amazing. Take care!
