Question
When I was 22 I started going to church and I split up with my boyfriend
of 2 years because I didn't want to have sex before marriage anymore. I
was single for 2 years and then I met this non Christian guy and after a
month we were having sex and I got pregnant straight away. While I was
pregnant he didn't want the baby and left me. Then when I was around 7
months pregnant he came back and wanted to be with me and the baby.
Since then it's been normally hard and our relationship on and off but
generally happy. I've been fighting for him throughout. Our son will be 2
next month. Recently my faith has been growing really strong again. About
2 weeks ago I put my foot down and told him to start sleeping next to me
every night (he always slept in his own room) to give me more money for
the family and stop pressuring me into getting a job. We split up and I was
preparing myself to be a single mum when he came to me after a few
days of splitting up and said that he would do all those things I asked.
He's stopped me from reading the bible in my our home and I only play
gospel music when he's not here. I starting to think I don't want to be with
him anymore and take my faith really serious but he wants another baby
and do the whole family thing which I want too but I think he's holding me
back from a full life with God I don't know what to do. Were not married.
Were both 27 now.

Answer
I really have only one thing to say - run away from him as soon as you can.  Being a single mom cannot be worse than a man who won't sleep with you, won't provide for the family and won't let you read the Bible in your own home.  This guy is a loser.  Dump him.  Now.

blessings,

ps  I don't trust him to do all those things you said, do you?
