OMG, I could have written this 13 years ago!!! (only I wasn't pregnant). You need to just get out hun. It sounds to me like he is making little stories up to his mates, probably to get a bit of sympathy and to make it look like he's available. If he has been say8ing these things, then he has no respect for you whatsoever. And you're having his baby - he is so low.
When this happened to me, I was with this guy for over 4 years. When we split up, I heard all sorts of things from my so called friends. He always told them that he was working on the oil rigs, when he'd been at mine (I'd moved away to do my training and he used to come and stay for weeks at a time), he would tell people that we had argued and split up, when we hadn't had cross words at all. I would go into a pub and people would say to me "oh, sorry you 2 have split up" or "are you back together yet?" and I would have no idea what they were talking about!
The list of bizzare things was endless, But he used to talk me round (he was so manipulative). If I had known what I knew once we spli up, I would have done it years before!
It was so hard to find the strength to leave him, but when I did, it was great! Don't get me wrong, I cried for a week and felt like I'd lost my right ar, but about a month later, It all clicked. I was so embarressed about the lies I had been told, that I had believed. It takes a stronger person to stand up for themselves and call it a day, than to sit back and take it.
You need to be strong for you and your LO. Sit down (on your own or with a good friend) and really think about what you want for you and your baby. Being a single mum is scary, but believe me, it wil be better than him manipulating the 2 of you. And ask you r friend to be brutally honest about him.
I do hope you work out a solution hun. Please feel free to pm me if you want any support.
