Im 21 weeks pregnant and still with the father of the baby. we have been dating for just under a year now and everything just feels like its going down hill. he is alot older then me therefore he should be more responsible than i am about this. all we do is fight and argue and more and more he anoys me more and more i get stressed and fustrated. i feel that we have a different connection now then we did when we first met. i work alot so we dont spend that much time together. and i dont know if its just me and my hormones. i dont know whether keeping preasuring myself to make it work for the child or just to tell him the truth about my feelings?

Any possibility you could see a relationship counselor, or if you can't afford it, a clergy person to get advised as a couple? The stakes are very high (a happy family life for yourselves and your child) so you have to do the best you can to see if you can learn to deal with conflict better. If you can't work out your differences, it's best to find out as soon as you can so you don't drain yourself in the endless fighting.

Working while being pregnant is very tiring, hormones or no hormones. Hopefully your partner can understand this too and cut you a break. Unfortunately maturity does not come automatically with age, though.

lexilou agony auntHaving two parents who fight and dont get on is not a good environment for a child so dont stay together for the baby's sake. Tell him the truth and see if you can get the relationship back on track before you give up on him altogether x

Yos agony auntIf you're going to stay with this guy to benefit your unborn child, then you need to be having a healthy relationship. A healthy relationship is based on telling the truth about your feelings to the other person.
