not sure if i should stay with my baby’s dad
for context, my baby’s dad (22m) and i (21f) started dating three months before we got pregnant and the pregnancy has been sort of difficult at times. he’s matured a lot throughout the process but i’m struggling as to whether i should stay with him or not. he’s a club promoter so he’s out maybe twice a week, but he’s out until 6am. we’re moving closer to his job so it’ll only be a ten minute drive but both of us live with our parents right now. he says that once we live closer and our baby is born he won’t stay out so late and he’ll be home more often but i just don’t really believe it. he’s so excited about the baby now and even shared with me he’s scared i’m going to take the baby and leave him, but i just don’t know what to do. i hate his job but he makes good money and says im lucky he has it because it’s going to support us while im not working. im just confused. i really love him but i just dont feel like he’s meeting my standards. i also wonder if i’d be a bad mom to take away the experience of him being with her while she’s just been born. we haven’t signed a lease yet and i kind of feel like it’s so i can have more time to think about this. i just feel bad because he’s so excited for us to live together and have our baby and he says he wants to be with me and for us to start our family but his job is nonnegotiable and when i get bothered with him going out and stuff he gets defensive and kind of mean. i know nobody can tell me what to do but was just wondering if anyone has any advice.
