So there we have it. As of Friday morning, I am officially a single mother.
I was finally able to move out of my husband's house and into my own, and that's when he finally showed what he was truly feeling and poured his heart out...and in the process, broke mine. I knew it all along, we're not over each other. We still love each other very deeply and I think the separation has really sunk into us that this is not what we want from our marriage. We both want the marriage to work, we both want our family together, we both want to be able to love and trust each other again, but we don't know how. He says I can eventually move back in, after the baby is born, and if we've done some work on the marriage and feel comfortable with the progress we've made. But he also tells me that if that happens, because the baby isn't his (or at least likely isn't), the baby isn't moving in with me.
This breaks my heart. Who do I choose to let go of? An unborn child whom I love and want very much, or my husband of almost 5 years and our two amazing children? Do I fight to keep my family together and give another couple the opportunity of being a family, or do I start a new family, just me and my 3 kids?
I thought pregnancy was supposed to be happy. I'm far from happy.
Certainly not all pregnancies are happy sweetie. Though I understand the want for that happiness. The child is not your husband's? So does that mean that some type of mistrust/mistake/vulnerable moment happened? Oh my... I can not begin to imagine all the feelings that you are having at the moment.
What a tough situation dear. I hope that you can see the options you have in front of you with an clear and open mind. Certainly all your options have pros and cons. Though weighing them and figuring out which is the lesser of two evils is the hardest part.
Your in my thoughts, and i'm sure that all of us are here for you if need be.
