I need some advice.

I’m in my early to mid twenties and have been married for about 2 years. And I’m 4 months pregnant. About a month before I became pregnant, my husband (who is the same age as me) began hanging out with people at his work that drink all the time. It’s several guys and one girl. When he started hanging out with them, we started having problems. He would come home increasingly late, never calling when he said he’d come home. Getting drunk every time he went out. We began having problems, and I told him I wanted to leave. The next day, he had a nervous breakdown and said he wanted me back. He was good for a month and now that my first trimester was finished, he started acting out again, saying he knows I’m his best friend, and that he knows he loves me, but now he’s questioning if he’s “in love” with me. We’ve agreed to work on things through the pregnancy, and we’re considering separating for a couple of weeks later. Sometimes I wonder if he’s trying to be a teen again (which he told me is the main appeal of this new group) and he’s freaking out about the upcoming responsibility. Sometimes I don’t know what to think. I’m really scared. Should I try to talk about things with him, or should I let go of things for a while. Oh, and I hear rumors about him and this other woman and she is always calling and texting him, yet for whatever reason I believe him when he says they’re just friends. Help!

If he has not taken you out to meet his new friends or this girl in this long of a time there is most likely a reason for it. I would be extreemly suspicious if you have not gotten to meet these new people. Just like when your dating someone. I you’ve been their girlfriend for 3 months and not met their friends yet you are not thier girlfriend your their fall back or piece on the side.

I have met all these people, and it’s just a recent development that I’m not “allowed” to go out with them. He says he needs some alone and guy time.

I’m also scared to be alone. I feel like I’m not that pretty and who’s going to want a girl that’s not so pretty and divorced with a child.

I just wish I knew what he meant when he says “You’re my best friend and I love you, and I want you in my life, but sometimes I don’t know if I’m “in love” anymore.” We’ve been together for 6 years. I just feel like he’s trying to find a way out of all the responsibility coming at him, and I wonder if anyone else feels that way too. I mean, I do all the cleaning, bill paying, cooking, and looking for new jobs for him. Sometimes I feel like a mother to a teenager.
