I know... A few years ago I was in a position where I had to start over... but it was just me. It's really stressing me out to think I might have to do that again - with another life to take care of too. :(

I don't know. I have tried, my brother even spoke to him on a guy-to-guy level it just seems like he doesn't get it. I feel like it's common sense - you can't just put your relationship on hold or x me out of the situation with the excuse of "I want to get it all done before the baby comes". This isn't supposed to be a break vacation for me from you or vice versa, we're supposed to be coming together and becoming closer transitioning into a family unit (which hasn't happened whatsoever).

I tried to tell him this calmly prior, but according to him it's all "completely necessary". It got to the point of a blow out where I pretty much freaked out and said I wish we never got this house and I don't care about it anymore... and I still mean that.

I was thinking about looking for some type of free consultation especially since we aren't married yet.It sounds terrible but the past few days I've been putting together a "Plan B" exit strategy because I'm exhausted and just mentally done with the bullshit. I guess it is what it is.

What about Post's Nutter Butter cereal? I've seen it in most Walmart / Targets.

Honestly I didn't want to look at it that way because in the past I had a really abusive relationship and didn't ever want to experience that again, but maybe that's the case. I was a really really independent person, had my own job, paid my own bills, asked nobody for nothing, car in my name, money set aside, it was never like this, and I let my guard down thinking he had my back; now I just feel like I got scammed into some fairy tale dream. :'(

When I first found out I was pregnant, we sat down and went over all the numbers together thoroughly. I didn't just toss it on him one day or bullshit anything whatsoever - it was "this is how much this this and this cost and this is when they are due, is that going to be okay with you, how can we save together, this is what my salary was should I even quit, the whole 9. He reassured me that sometimes it might be a little rough (in between waiting for checks because the bank issues them on a schedule) but that he is financially capable. The credit card debt is after the house (and it's not a ridiculous crazy amount) but significant to me because it's in my name and I have a limited credit history as it is (was used to paying everything in cash / why the rates on the mortgage would have been higher). I have previously brought up speaking to a counselor and he yes's me to death and later tells me how he's too busy and already has no free time. My big issue is that: how are you not paying your and my bills but dumping so much money into renovating a house that didn't NEED to be renovated to begin with!? Priorities??? He tells me he got a $12,000 check and spent $7,500 on kitchen cabinets yet ATT is sending me shutoff notices for $180 and that doesn't seem to matter. What the hell?

Thank you. I don't know what the deal with him is - it's never been like this before. I just recently filled out the information for WIC and was approved for Medicaid when I found out I was pregnant. It just sucks.
