| OP please seek advice from a therapist about what to do about him. There probably other things you haven’t written in your post which is making you reconsider marriage with him but there’s no hurry to marry him even though you are pregnant. And don’t get an abortion. I can’t believe people are advocating an abortion of a six month fetus. How traumatic for you and the child. |
Plus a million. The posts on this thread are beyond absurd. |
Yeah a late stage abortion would be incredibly traumatic |
No, op will be under general anesthesia. She’s under 26 weeks I would abort, too. |
Grotesque. |
| Don’t make him your husband. |
Better than a lifetime suffering for OP and the child. My exH was like that. Our son is suicidal and abuses substances . Father also was beating him as a toddler |

OP, can you relocate to be near supportive family? Distance is your best bet with men like this.
Can you financially support yourself and a child? Do you have a career where you will earn substantially more over time? If you ever apply for food stamps or disability benefits for a a child the state is likely to require his being named, which would open up shared custody then. Focus on your earning capacity and support network, you cannot control his moods. Is the grooming gang reaction unusual for him? If so, I would wonder about his CSA history. |
This. How is your career, OP? |
Raising a living child with poverty and neglect or with a domestic abuser is grotesque. |
+1 man who treated my like this physically abused our toddler. |
| Get out NOW before having a kid with this nightmare |
No one is saying she should stay with him. |
No, it’s not better. |
