Overreacting?

[Kaala]

My fiance knows that I'm pregnant, but still he doesn't try for a job (or well, not hard enough) and he thinks we can make it on 7 grand a year..It can be just me but..I'm really scared he doesn't really wants this anymore even though he keeps on saying he never want to leave me..
I just don't want him to stay with me because of the baby.

Well he should be pulling his finger out and trying to get a job... Not an unreasonable demand at all!

Believe me, you are not being unreasonable whatsoever. Me and my partner are both students and live off of less than £7,000 a yr and it is a struggle, and I mean to the point we eat tins for a full fortnight sometimes due to stupid uni funding so I can't imagine how any couple would cope if a baby was in the mix too! :S

I hope he does find a job soon because you need a supportive man more than ever atm and he does have a responsibility x

We're going to be spending about £6k of our savings whilst I am mat leave - this is with OH working full time???

He's gonna get a big shock when he realizes how much babies cost!

Apart from the obvious your relationship will change once your baby is here, the stress and lack of sleep tests the strongest of relationships, you don't need the additional stress and falling out of lack of funds as well x

Is it you that's earning? Where does your income come from?

How do you pay for your home with 7000 a year? X

If you're working you should get tax credits to help you out, as long as you are working 24 hours or more per week.

He really needs to pull his finger out though!
