My boyfriend is starting to worry me

My boyfriend and i recently found out that i was pregnant. He has just came out of a very trying phase of his life, he has been through alot in the past months. He is currently seeking a job and a new apartment for us. He is doing what he thinks a good father-to-be would do. But he is starting to worry me; he has taken up drinking again, he is always staring off into space, always obsessing over money, is having major mood swings, and our sex-life has drastically decreased since the discovery of my pregnancy. Is the stress of bringing a baby into the world affecting him?

    Honestly, he doesn't sound ready to be a parent, doesn't even sound like he is dealing all that well with just himself.

    How are you going to cope with 2 babies?

      Yes he is freakin scared to be a father and is not at all ready! Or at least that is what he thinks... You need to talk to him and decide as a family what to do. He needs to get it off his chest or he will fall deeply into depression. He may not want to, but try to find out what is wrong and help him cope...

    I agree. and with good reason is he sressed. a baby is a huge responsibility. i think if you guys talk about the baby, have things planned out well in advance, maybe even attend a few parenting classes TOGETHER, then when he feels more "equiped" to be a dad and knowledgeable about babies he'll be less stressed.

    Sounds like it's really stressing him out. Especially if he needs a good job and u guys need your own place. That can be very stressful. That's not good he has taken up drinking though. You need to talk to him about that and have him find other safe ways to destress. No one likes an alcoholic for a spouse and it will get out of hand if he keeps it up.

    I think so. Sounds like he's a good guy. Tell him to go to the gym, it really helps with stress.

    Repeating a couple things that have already been said: therapy (he needs to stop drinking and learn to manage his stress) and parenting classes. Do it. And good luck.

    fricken right hes freaking out. that's a good bye to youth hun. he's enjoying his last few months of boose. wat u should do is show him how hot pregnant sex can be as u he doesnt have to worry about getting u pregnant...as he already did! he can throw out his junk in which ever place he wants now! ........congratulations for your kid i hope u and ur bf succeed in being good parents. i wouldnt complain too much, just try relax him about this father thing he's just afraid that he might not be a good daddy. but since he's so worried most probably means he will be doing his best for u and your child
