    She did actually say it was pretty obvious, which to be fair it was. Can feel her tummy when we hug which is weird but all good.

    Regarding the whole how can one earn so much whilst staying in social housing. I moved into this house under absolutely different circumstances than i find myself in now.

    There is no income criteria for social housing or at least there wasn't when I applied its just those people being jealous of having to pay almost double the monthly rent for somewhere the same size as yours.

    Congratulations on the baby!

    Sadly, that's the next question to her from me.. Only asked her last night if she was pregnant.. Bit much emotion to start asking the obvious right away.. My obvious next question is how far she is.. I'll find out tomorrow.. Feel a lot more confident now...

    It's actually really lovely the whole situation now... so happy.

    surely that would have been the next question you would have asked? Or she would have mentioned it??

    How can you live with someone and not talk to each other properly! are you scared of her or something? Or she is scared of you? this is just so bizarre.

    How you will ask each other questions involving the upbringing of the child if you are too worried to ask each other simple questions?

    OP you really have to learn (with your gf) how to talk to one another, otherwise this relationship is doomed. You are coming on here telling people questions you need to ask when in reality if you have a close and loving relationship you would never need to ask us these questions at all!

    Remember there is now a third party, and to ensure that he/she has a balanced and secure upbringing you will need to set rules and boundaries that you, as parents, agree between yourself. Without those, the child will be confused and will very quickly learn to play one off against the other, resulting in misery for all.

    This is literally unbelievable. It's taken you this long to ask if she's pg but you're too scared (from the sounds of it) to ask when the baby's even due?? You two have some massive communication issues. Let's hope she's not too far gone yet - it will give you longer to work out how to speak to each other before the little one arrives.

    How can you live with someone and be starting a family together when you can't even speak to them.

    Why would she not even have told you in the first place a. that she was pregnant and b. how far along she was?

    Something seems a bit off.

    I don't recall my oh asking when I was due with either of my 3 but then I didn't know until I had a scan anyway as my monthlys are irregular.

    Good luck!
