Should I move with my fiance and risk being stranded?

Myself Asked by vashleighl 9 months ago, 3 answers.

My fiance, of 5 months, and I recently broke up because I found out I am pregnant, and he hasn't tried in the three months we've known to quit abusing pills. (I found out about the pills two months ago). He also smokes weed, which I didn't have a problem...

with until I had something this precious to lose. I can't work while I'm pregnant because I am at risk for miscarriage (we've had two since we've been together, and it was recommended I stay home and rest). So far, I've made it about 7 weeks farther than I ever have (I'm 15 weeks so far, and everything looks healthy). I don't want to have this baby without him, and he is saying he is going to change, but he has said it before with no follow through. He is going to FL, and wants me to come with him. I want to believe he will change, but I'm not holding my breath. The closest family I have to FL is in TX or NC. Should I go, and risk being stranded without family or friends nearby, so he can work to prove he deserves to be in our child's life? Or should stay with my family (They have said they will support me until a month or so after the child is born, and then sit for me until I can afford a sitter, car, house, etc... of my own), where I have security, but go against what I believe (that he and I should be married before it is born)? I am torn between what he says, and what I have seen before. Please help!!!

Follow the interest of the baby. If you and the baby has more safety in the house of your family then go there. If your fiance' gives you enough security stay with him.

I can relate to your story better than anything I have read on this site. I've been EXACTLY where you are.
Make rehab a condition of his contract in your relationship. You boyfriend has a psycological and emotional disease called addiction. He may want to stop but doesnt know how. In fact, he probably loves you so much and doesn't understand why the things in his life are constantly crumbling away. Feel free to funmail me if you have any questions or want to know more about it. My husband and I have been married 2 years this summer.

EDIT: I shouldn't say exactly, but pretty damn close.
