My boyfriend completed the act while I was pregnant. He knew about the pregnancy, and seemed supportive, while I was emotional and scared because I was having additional health issues which could have compromised the pregnancy.
We never saw this coming. He was the happiest, kindest guy, and we had just come home from a relaxing and fun vacation. I even thought he would propose soon.
I am still grieving and have been diagnosed with postpartum depression. I am battling whether I should raise our daughter or let his parents adopt her, as I had no clue I would be raising a baby alone.
I don't know why he thought suicide was the answer to whatever was troubling him. I was thinking maybe the pregnancy, but then again, he may have had undiagnosed PTSD.

I can't answer your questions here but I can only offer the little bit of advice that may help you get to the next step.
Try not to make any decisions while you are feeling depressed or anxious. You need to have a clear head while making decisions for your and your daughters future.
The only way you can make good decisions is when you are in a good frame of mind. I know all too well how bad decisions made at wrong times can spiral your life out of control.
Please do not make rash decisions and do not let others pressure you into making decisions that you do not want to make.
Yes raising your daughter alone will be difficult but it can also be rewarding.
As BrightYellow said, It will eventually get better and easier; with time.
Unfortunately time is the only way through it, just don't stop moving.
