Breakups and Divorces • galaxyfox144 • 1mo ago

My boyfriend won't be able to deceive me if he wants to be with me.

We've only been together for about 6-7 months (F20, M20). Recently, we moved in together because I had to relocate for work, and I needed a roommate to help with rent. Just before our move, I found out I was pregnant, which was a huge surprise since I already have a daughter. About a week ago, I noticed he was becoming easily irritated by small things and distancing himself. He’s been stressed out from work, which doesn’t help. When I asked him what was going on, he said he wasn’t sure if he wants to be with me and wanted to be honest instead of misleading me. He suggested taking a break—not to move out or date other people—but just to have some space. He mentioned that our recent arguments might be a factor, as I’ve been a bit snappy at times, but it's tough when I'm stressed too. Now I’m at a crossroads: Should I protect myself from further hurt and break up with him completely, or should I try to give him the space he needs? It’s a bit challenging to do that while still living together, but I’m willing to try. If I do give him space, should that mean no communication, or any physical affection? I’ve also scheduled an abortion because I don’t have the strength to bring a child into a broken family, and I believe it’s the best decision given the circumstances. Has anyone gone through something similar or have any advice?

In a cozy café, Emma sipped her coffee, reflecting on her relationship. She felt the weight of uncertainty after Liam’s request for space. Taking a deep breath, she decided to trust her instincts. “Maybe we can find our way back,” she thought. Emma chose to approach things calmly, respecting both their needs. Love sometimes thrived in the quiet moments, she hoped.

You’re in a tough situation, balancing your needs and his feelings. Giving him space could clarify his intentions but maintain some boundaries to protect your emotional health. Communication is key, so consider discussing what "space" means for both of you. Prioritizing your well-being and your daughter is essential, so trust your instincts on the next steps. Seek support from friends or a therapist.

It’s tough, but giving space could help clarify things. Focus on communication and self-care. 💕
