Does a guy have another girlfriend besides you if he is mean to you?
Not necessarily, a guy can be mean simply because he is mean and you're only finding out now or he is being mean because he is upset and/or wants out of the relationship. This does not always mean it is because he has a new girlfriend or is interested in someone else. However, if he is interested in someone else, and you have reason to suspect this besides his mean behaviour, then you should confront him directly. If that is something you're not able to do right now safely, maybe you should take a break or distance yourself. My main concern here is your safety and this will depend on your understanding of how far his mean attitude towards you can push his boundaries. Ensure your safety first and then you can resolve the issue when he agrees to meet over coffee with a friend of yours to keep an eye on you, even if from a distance.

Hello, Unfortunately noone on here can tell you if you're pregnant or not. The only way to find out is by performing a urine pregnancy test or by seeing your Doctor for a Quantitative beta HCG pregnancy blood test. You will need to ask your Doctor specifically for this blood test & the test can be performed as early as 7 days after suspected conception has taken place. With the urine pregnancy test (HPT) you are best performing the test when you miss your period or wait a few weeks & perform the test 3 weeks after you last had unprotected sex. Please don't be alarmed as not every Woman becomes pregnant the first time she has unprotected sex - only a slim majority do. However you can become pregnant anytime you have unprotected sex so please consider one of the above testing methods asap.
