What to do if a husband left his pregnant wife, and how a pregnant woman survives a divorcepsychologist Tatyana Markina, creator of the psychological studio Step to Happiness . >
The birth of a child tests the strength of any family. Sometimes it doesn’t even come to its appearance, the union collapses at the stage of pregnancy. A pregnant woman, when her husband leaves her, feels betrayed, used, suddenly finds herself face to face with the frightening need to make the most serious decisions alone that will affect her whole life.
Unfortunately, this turn of events is not uncommon. Is it possible to emerge from a tragic story as a winner and how?
Husband left his pregnant wife: what to do?
Pregnancy is stressful for the body, and such a difficult life situation is double stress for you. Keep this in mind and be kind to yourself, as your reactions can be very sharp.
Tears, apathy, inability to think clearly, severe mental pain, panic, insomnia, physical discomfort are completely natural in this state.
Natural, but undesirable, because a little dear little man lives inside you, to whom this can harm.
You will have to become a mother not only to the child, but also to yourself. The very first thing you can do is to try to reduce the severity of your experiences without denying or minimizing their significance.
What happened is not the end of the world. Many women found themselves in a similar situation, and they all overcame it, and many even successfully. You are no worse than others and deserve a good fate for yourself and your child.
After you have exhaled and calmed down a bit, go to the people. To those who can support you in word or deed, do not hesitate to say: "I am pregnant, my husband left me" to parents, girlfriends, relatives, acquaintances, a psychologist. Human warmth, participation, advice, experience, an unbiased view from the outside will become your support in difficult times. You are not alone.
Your husband is not with you now, you should not count on him. It will return - you will think about what to do with it, but for now, rely on yourself, your capabilities and your assistants.
If you don't feel empowered to raise a child on your own, consider having an abortion. This is your body and your life. But your decision should be balanced and deliberate, you should not decide on an abortion in the heat of the moment just because your husband left.
If such an exit is unacceptable for you or you are not in a desperate situation, consider further steps in preparing for childbirth and the postpartum period. Where will you live, with whom, who will help you take care of the child, do you have money for childbirth and dowry for the baby, how will you earn, how much do you plan to be on maternity leave, are you going to get divorced and file for alimony. Consult with experts and more experienced people. Think about what you need and what is good for you.
The most important thing that you now have to do is to take responsibility for your decisions and for the child. For all 100%.
You can, because millions of single mothers and women who are raising children themselves after divorce can. This is not a shame, you are in a more respected position than a husband who has run away from responsibility. This is not offensive, because you are showing a more mature position than he is.
Why did he leave? Why did the husband leave the pregnant woman?
The reasons why a husband abandoned his pregnant wife may be different. Let's try to figure it out. Although not immediately, since you have primary concerns, it is important to understand the cause of the conflict in order to avoid such mistakes in the future.
- He got scared. He was not ready for the role of a father and husband supporting his wife in pregnancy. Even if he asked for a child. Not ready for the fact that your attention will now not belong undividedly to him. In addition to having to earn more, spend less time and money on entertainment. To the fact that your body and your behavior will change, and this is forever. That you will have to take care of someone else, not sleep at night, limit your life. That a child may not be born exactly as he wants, or generally unhealthy, or not from him. He failed to take responsibility and show courage. Just ran away, leaving you to deal with what the two of you created.
- He went to another. Probably, their romance developed behind your back for some time according to all the laws of love triangles. One of the hidden meanings of triangles is the competition between wife and mistress. For some reason, you lost it. Outwardly similar, but different in essence, the situation can be in the triangle “he-you-his mother”.
- He fell out of love with you. Maybe for a long time he was tired of scandals and alienation between you, the inability to agree, lack of interest, constant criticism, mood swings, excessive demands, incomprehensible prospects, a habit instead of a deep feeling, your lack of independence. Pregnancy served only as a catalyst for what was bound to happen sooner or later. Or maybe the pregnancy revealed hidden conflicts and his love quickly melted away. The result is one - your paths diverged at the most inopportune moment.
Whatever the reason for the husband leaving his pregnant wife, his act showed that you were living in the illusion of a happy marriage. Falling in love did not become love, trust had nothing to rely on, affection turned out to be weak, a common life project did not bind you. What he was thinking doesn't matter anymore.
What was your role? By understanding this, you will discover a growth zone: those changes that you need to make in yourself in order for the next relationship to develop more successfully.
Is it possible to fix everything, to return the husband?
To answer this question, you should honestly decide: do you want everything to be the same again, or are you ready to re-build a relationship with the person who abandoned you and your common child.
It is possible to build relationships anew, but under certain conditions and with at least the minimum desire of the husband. First of all, take a long enough time-out. Do not write to him, do not call and do not meet, do not go to his pages on social networks, avoid unwanted questions from mutual acquaintances, try to be distracted when obsessive thoughts about him come flooding in.
If you can't distract yourself, make time for yourself specifically to think about your husband. For example, every day / Thursdays / three times a week from 10:00 am to 10:15 am. Do not exceed the 15-minute limit, do not set a time for thinking in the evening before bed. Be distracted by pleasant emotions and communication, things that bring you pleasure, and things that benefit your development and well-being. Live like this for at least a month.
And, no matter how paradoxical it sounds, do not let your husband invade your life during this period - it is vital for you to remain calm and think carefully about how to proceed.
Ask yourself one question: why do you need this particular person?
What needs can you satisfy only with it? Who will help you meet these needs if it doesn't work out? What is acceptable and unacceptable for you in intimate relationships? What kind of relationship would you like ideally with him?
The answers to these key questions will help you determine your next course of action.
Sit down, divide the sheet into two halves and write down the points: what will you personally do if he returns, and what if he does not return.
Be sincere with yourself and try to imagine exactly how you will fulfill your plans, how you feel. So, you can write that you will never, ever quarrel with your husband, but imagining how he again does what previously made you furious, you will feel an overflowing wave of anger. It is better to write how exactly you will resolve such conflicts in the future.
And another paradox: do not call him back and do not try to sort things out with him. If he wants to come back, he will come himself and say so himself. The initiative will only put you in the weak position of a humiliated petitioner, or worse, a hysterical brawler. Activity is appropriate only if you have carefully decided to file for divorce, division of property, alimony.
Accept and empathize with the fact that you will experience various and not always pleasant emotions. To the fact that sometimes you will feel very weak, offended by the whole world, desperate or seized with a thirst for revenge. This is normal for a person in a stressful, crisis situation.
Pity yourself in moderation. Do not scold or belittle yourself - just stop doing it as soon as you catch yourself in self-depreciating thoughts.
You, like any person, have the right to make mistakes and imperfections. The black streak will end sooner or later, and your fortitude and ability to resolve life's cataclysms will forever remain with you.
You are on the threshold of a new life. Soon you will become a mother and a truly adult person, able to take responsibility for yourself and for another. It costs a lot.
Pregnancy is one of the most important and responsible periods in the life of every woman. After all, this is an exciting, and at the same time, a happy time when two loving people are waiting for the baby to appear. However, there are situations when, due to various circumstances (both the fault of a man and the fault of the expectant mother herself), a family breaks up even before the birth of a child .
Unfortunately, no one is immune from such a development of events. Any woman can be left alone without the support of a man, regardless of whether the pregnancy was accidental or planned, whether the future parents are officially married or just live together, whether this is the first pregnancy or the couple already has children.
It doesn’t matter what caused the breakup, in any case, for a woman in position, this is a huge stress. The expectant mother, bearing the burden of responsibility not only for herself, but also for her baby, is faced with a whole range of both psychological and purely domestic problems. How to deal with all the troubles that have fallen? And how to get out of this difficult life situation, while maintaining health and peace of mind for the sake of the baby?
Psychological problems
A pregnant woman who has been abandoned by a spouse or partner, as a rule, experiences severe stress, which often leads to serious psychological problems:
- nervous breakdown, tantrums (or, conversely, complete apathy and indifference);
- loss of appetite;
- sleep disturbance;
- panic attacks;
- sudden mood swings.
All this has an extremely negative effect on the course of pregnancy, since it has been proven that an increase in “stress hormones” (adrenaline, cortisol) has a significant impact on the functioning of the reproductive system, placenta, and also on the fetal body. In addition, severe stress can provoke spontaneous abortion or premature birth.
Often, the expectant mother also experiences feelings of guilt or even shame in front of relatives, friends and her own baby for the current situation. The woman withdraws into herself, trying to hide her family problems. Such emotions are destructive, since it is the support of loved ones in such a situation that is necessary and very important.
Domestic difficulties and legal formalities
Of course, if a woman has her own housing and personal savings that allow her to live without the financial support of her husband, then most household problems are solved quite easily. However, most pregnant women are more or less dependent on men, which makes them especially vulnerable in this situation.
In this case, the woman has several options:
- seek help from relatives and friends;
- agree with the father of the child on financial assistance before delivery and participation in the maintenance of the child
- file for divorce after the birth of the child. Through the court, to divide the jointly acquired property and collect alimony. By the way, until the child is 3 years old, a woman also has the right to receive maintenance from her ex-spouse.
In addition, the expectant mother should remember that during pregnancy and until the moment when the child is 1 year old, divorce without the consent of the wife is impossible. At the same time, the spouse herself can be the initiator of the divorce.
Action plan
Summing up the above, you can create a very clear plan of action for a woman in a position that her husband left. The consistent implementation of all of the above points will return the expectant mother to calmness and self-confidence.
Calm down.
This is one of the most difficult, but at the same time, perhaps the most important step. Firstly, it is important for the health and well-being of the mother and child herself. Secondly, under the influence of momentary emotions, a woman often makes too hasty decisions, which later have to be regretted.
If possible, you should spend more time in the fresh air, in the absence of contraindications, physical activity is very useful. You can use various breathing trainings, art therapy, meditation for self-soothing.
If you can’t cope with anxiety on your own, it makes sense to consult a doctor who will prescribe safe sedatives.
Take care of your health.
No matter how sad, hurtful and hard, health care should be a top priority for a woman. It is imperative to register with the antenatal clinic, undergo all scheduled examinations, take tests in a timely manner and strictly follow the doctor's instructions.
Work.
If a woman worked before pregnancy, then in no case should she quit her job. Firstly, it will allow you to receive all the payments required by law. Secondly, the work will allow replenishing personal savings that will be needed during the period of involuntary disability. And, finally, many women note that it was work that to a large extent helped them to escape from sad thoughts and easier to survive the break with the father of the child.
If a woman did not work before pregnancy, then it makes sense to find at least a temporary job. It is clear that employers are very reluctant to hire women in position, but you can try to look for vacancies for a freelancer, a worker with a fixed-term employment contract, or work from home.
Provide a reliable rear.
By the time the baby is born, the expectant mother needs to solve many household issues: find housing, equip the children's room, buy all the necessary things and dowry for the baby.
It is good if one of the relatives and friends can help the expectant mother. Many women prefer to move for a while to their parents, who can support them morally and help after the birth of the baby.
Unfortunately, there are situations when a pregnant woman is actually alone on the street, without relatives and friends nearby, without work and livelihood. In this case, you can contact the crisis center for helping women who find themselves in a difficult life situation, and in case of a threat to health - to the hospital. In crisis centers, as a rule, you can also get advice from a psychologist and a lawyer.
Clarify the relationship with the father of the child.
If the reason for the breakup is not related to domestic violence, alcoholism, drug addiction or other antisocial behavior on the part of the father of the child, you should try to build a qualitatively new relationship with him. Be that as it may, but if a woman is expecting a joint child (for which both parents are equally responsible), one way or another, she will have to see and communicate with the future dad. And above all, in the interests of the child, if this communication is constructive and calm.
When the first wave of emotions fades, and both partners gain the ability to reason sensibly, it makes sense to try to talk to a man. The following points need to be clarified together:
- whether the future father is going to officially recognize the child;
- whether he will participate in the life and upbringing of the child;
- when the marriage will be dissolved, and how the jointly acquired property will be divided;
- whether he is ready to take on part of the costs of preparing for the birth of a child;
- whether he will be able to assist in solving everyday issues (search for new housing, moving, arranging a children's room).
In fact, even if a man does not see a future in living together with the mother of his child, it is quite possible that he will be ready to bear responsibility for the unborn child, take part in his upbringing, help and support him in the future. Thus, the baby will have a loving and caring mother and father, although they do not live under the same roof.
The situation when a husband leaves his pregnant wife is certainly psychologically difficult for a woman. However, if you look at it from the other side, then there is nothing tragic or irreparable in this. After all, she will soon become a mother, which means that the closest and dearest person will appear in her life - her child, who will support her and inspire her for further success in life.
The birth of a child tests the strength of any family. Sometimes it doesn’t even come to its appearance, the union collapses at the stage of pregnancy. A woman feels betrayed, used, suddenly finds herself face to face with the frightening need to make the most serious decisions alone that will affect her whole life. Unfortunately, this turn of events is not uncommon. Is it possible to emerge from a tragic story as a winner and how?

You will have to become a mother not only to him, but also to yourself.
Call your doctor and ask for a safe sedative. Get a good night's sleep, eat something tasty and, if you feel good, go out into the fresh air, take a walk or find another way to recover.
What happened is not the end of the world. Many women found themselves in a similar situation, and they all overcame it, and many even successfully. You are no worse than others and deserve a good fate for yourself and your child.
After you have exhaled and calmed down a bit, go to the people. To those who can support you in word or deed: parents, girlfriends, relatives, acquaintances, a psychologist. Human warmth, participation, advice, experience, an unbiased view from the outside will become your support in difficult times. You are not alone.
You have an important decision to make: how to live on. It will take time and acceptance of reality. Your husband is not with you now, you should not count on him. It will return - you will think about what to do with it, but for now, rely on yourself, your capabilities and your assistants.
If you don't feel empowered to raise a child on your own, consider having an abortion. This is your body and your life.

To answer this question, you should honestly decide: do you want everything to be the same again, or are you ready to re-build a relationship with the person who abandoned you and your common child.It is unlikely that it will be possible to glue the former family life together, or rather to recreate its illusion - it is destroyed by the unequivocal act of the husband. And how can you force another person to return to where he fled from?! Force, threats, complaints, your humiliation? Think what kind of life it would be if he returned on such terms.

How to survive a divorce
Psychologist Pavel Zygmantovich: “Divorce does not mean that you are a finished person, a worthless woman, a worthless man, or whatever else you think to yourself. Divorce is an unpleasant event, and it does not completely depend on you. Moreover, stay in a couple generally difficult, and the less experience of marriages, the more difficult. Over time (by the third marriage), people usually somehow develop conflict resolution skills, know how to get along with each other, not bend and not bend, and so on.

Why Breaking Up is Good
Have you noticed that often after parting, the abandoned half makes a “feint with the ears” and “in spite of” the former beloved achieves success, loses weight, gets younger, flourishes, learns to play the guitar, gets on the board, does splits, dyes her hair, pumps muscles and does other somersaults to prove that she was not abandoned in vain?
Despite the storm of feelings in such a situation, try to pull yourself together. Life doesn't end there. Look at it from the other side: if your young man left you after learning about the pregnancy, it was hardly worth continuing the relationship with him. Such a person will not become a reliable partner for later life.
Soberly assess the situation in which you find yourself. Think about whether you have reliable people to whom you could turn for help, both moral and financial. These people can be your parents, friends, relatives.
Don't waste time feeling sorry for yourself. This will not be of much help to you. Also, don't call yourself the reason for the end of your relationship. In such a situation, both partners are to blame. If a person left your life, then it was not your person.
Decision-making
One of the hardest things about being pregnant alone is making the right decision. There may be two options - to leave the child and have an abortion. Listen to your mind. He will help you make a choice.
If you decide to have a child, consider your options for creating the necessary conditions. So, you must have a job, the earnings from which would be enough for you to support yourself and the baby. In addition, it is necessary to provide financial support during parental leave. These can be payments at the place of work, as well as help from parents or relatives.
Having made the decision to have a baby, protect yourself from opposing opinions. The negative attitude of others will negatively affect you and the baby. Explain to your family that you have made a firm decision. Over time, they will come to terms and, perhaps, will begin to help you. In any case, rely only on yourself, do not rely on hypothetical help from other people. So it will be easier for you to solve problems that arise.
Switch your thoughts to taking care of your health and the health of your unborn child. Make it your new goal. Protect yourself from everything bad, annoying. Find something that gives you strength and positive energy. For some it will be music, for others it will be communication with animals. Surround yourself with nice things.
If, after carefully weighing everything, you decide to get rid of the child, contact the antenatal clinic. Psychologists working there will help you survive a difficult moment in life. In addition, specialist gynecologists will provide you with the necessary assistance.
Relationships are a rather complex science that needs to be constantly comprehended, practiced and improved.
In a relationship, there are happy moments, as well as moments full of pain, sorrow and disappointment. This is life, which consists of a series of light and dark stripes.
If now, you have a difficult period in your life - parting with your loved one, then know that very soon it will change into a bright and joyful one.
An interesting point of view on relationships from the famous blogger Maria Viskunova:
Getting over a breakup is hard enough! To get out of a depressed state, and return to the previous rhythm of life, competent advice from psychologists will help you:
- Be patient. Understand that now, patience and calmness are your best friends.
- You should not sort things out, try to establish contact with a partner. It's pointless now. He made a decision. Do not try to convince him or appease him. It won't work for the good.
- Accept your breakup as a fact. It has already taken place. Let him go. And instead of thinking about how to take revenge on him or how to get him back, you need to sort yourself out now.
- Do self-analysis. Analyze your relationship. Find reasons for the breakup. Maybe they are rooted in the fact that you have become too intrusive, too rude, or have ceased to pay due attention to your partner. Perhaps you abandoned yourself, or ceased to be an interesting conversationalist.
- If possible, ask the guy about the reason for his leaving after a while. Perhaps it was just a crisis of relations, a turning point. And he already regrets it. Well, if not, then remember that you have gained invaluable experience, and soon a truly happy relationship awaits you.
This situation can help you to know yourself. Find out your true desires, help to be realized in creativity, discover new talents, choose the direction of action. For this you need:
- look inside yourself, immerse yourself in your psyche, find out your features.
