    Can you speak to your Health Visitor about how you are feeling? I am sure it is not uncommon, and maybe you are depressed.

    You say you don't want a house with him, you don't want to get married to him and in another part you say he has no concern for what you want from the relationship and has no respect for your feelings (by going ahead and doing this course anyway). I can see what's in it for him-but what on earth is in this relationship for you ????

  • Sorry Sammy, I have to agree with the others. Its not so long ago that you had no money to buy food and if I remember rightly, someone from MSE very kindly paid for a delivery of food for you (I may have got you confused with someone else so apologies if this is the case).

    Also, its literally only weeks ago that you were thinking of leaving your boyfriend. Surely this isn't the best grounding for another child to be born into? Only my opinion, for what its worth, but please give this some more thought before you make a rash decision.

    love and hugs xx
    Its nice to be important but more important to be nice!

    Hi,

    Some people don't even have one child of their own, who can't have one naturaly for example....think how they feel....makes you realise what you do have is very special and your son is still in your life-he may not be a baby any more but he's yours.

    I can't wait to try for a baby, but you can't just go rushing into these things especially if your OH isn't ready/you have not enough money to cope etc.

    I wish you good luck, but i think you need to take a step back and have a look at what you do have right now and be gratefull/happy wth the son you do have.

    Keely.

    I dont think sammy really wants a baby in reality, sorry if i'm talking out of turn here sammy, i think it's all your emotions and the fact everythingis going a bit tits up part of you may feel a new baby will make everything better, in reality you know it wont.
    I desperately wanted a baby and basically got pregnant at the first oppurtunity (with his dads consent) and i'm not saying i regret it, but i really didnt think it through and had a baby for my own selfish reasons, not saying you are selfish, oh god this all sounds a bit wrong i think :o
