Hey, can anyone please please please help me. I need to hear from someone neutral so badly.
Almost 5 weeks ago my boyfriends father died, as soon as I learned I rushed to be by his side and spent the night together comforting him, the following day he text to say thanks for rushing over (it's about a 2 hour drive) "it meant the world to him".
the following week I was careful to let him know I care, that I'm here for him without any pressure. I understood that his mother needed him and he himself needed to process things.
At this time we had suspicion that I might be pregnant and although a surprise, we were excited and nervous but looking forward potentially having a baby. My pregnancy was confirm 5 days after his father died - I hadn't seen boyfriend during that time but daily texts and calls. He phone started to be off. I ended up sending a picture of the test result out of frustration - he text back hours later "I'll call you late to catch up".
during the following 2 weeks his fathers funeral service took place and I wasn't invited or expected - I'm yet to meet his family and he thought it wasn't the right time and circumstance - I respected that for all parties. He became distant, phone always off, would make plans and not bother showing up.
After not seeing him for nearly 3 weeks we had planned to have dinner - I text asking his eta and he said at least a couple of hours as he had just sat down to eat. We fought over text. I said I felt disrespected that in 3 weeks he hadn't even found the time to get his backside anywhere near me or this baby and we had a lot to talk about. He said he wasn't coming when "you're being like this"
I haven't heard from him since.
the following day after the phone fight I woke up at 3am in horrific pain and drove myself to the hospital. I suffered a miscarriage all by myself with no one but a strange nurse to comfort me. I have been at home since trying to heal my body and my heart. My family nothing of this. Yesterday I attended a family Christmas meal - my first day out the house in almost a week. I spent all day playing with the children so as to avoid adult conversation and the "how are you.s" I thought I'd break down so chose to pretend. I didn't want to ruin their Christmas.
Still no word from the boyfriend - so as far as he knows I am still carrying our baby. But he has not made any contact. I feel so alone. And abandoned BUT did I not support his grieving as I should have and is he feeling alone and abandoned ????
do I tell him or wait until he gets in touch - if he ever does?
I don't want to add any more drama to his life right now, I want to protect him. The man I loved would not have left me to deal with this - but all his actions say that is exactly what he has done.
Do I reach out to him or wait in hope
