advice

What if one of your x boyfriends came back into your life and wanted to give you a wonderful life for you and your baby would you consider it? This is happening to me and I'm confused, only bc with my situation I am living with my parents I am unable to get a job for many reasons so I do not have the funds for my new baby n am having to get donations plus I am having to do this on my own but my ex boyfriend (not the baby daddy) wants to give me a life with him and provide for me and my new baby but the problem is I'm not sure I even feel anything for him but it doesnt mean I couldnt but I am considering it bc my baby would have what he needed as I cannot provide for him alone...is it okay to go into a relationship for that reason? He has his own home, car etc so it would just be me n my baby adding to his life...just wanted some nice advice and be honest I can handle a lot ;-)

U can always video chat at 1st n then plan dates whenever u both have time :) Start off slow :) u still have a few more months so it gives u time to figure it out...good luck don't be scared to date again cuz not all guys r the same he from the sound of it he sounds like a good guy :)

Yes indeed definitely make sure I feel something again no doubt there and I am 24+5..he lives in Jonesboro and I love in Mayflower which is about 2hrs away so dates amd seeing eachother would be hard but manageable plus he has his own motorcycle business amd has a great head on his shoulders as far as responsibilities go he would be my best choice but yes I hear u I need to get that initial feeling going again before just moving right in

Just because you don't feel something now doesn't mean that he's not a great guy that could be really good for you. You could try dating again and see if you develop those feelings again. Don't rush. Don't move in. Wait until it's real

Yea thats what I'm afraid of is if I do this amd expect to fall in love with him again and I dont then I'll end up making myself more miserable..I dont wanna be that girl that gets with a guy just for his money and thats why I'm having a hard time just jumping in it bit hes head over heels for me and wants to help improve my lofe ..the baby daddy still contacts me and did want me back but I said no to him bc he was not good to me and I won't do that to myself again..the boyfriend was sweet and never did anything to cause me harm and had always told me how beautiful I was and how lucky he was but the relationship didn't go no were bc I was scared so I left..but now he is back n says we can make it work I just have to trust him and get over the fear of another bad relationship.. But thanks ladies..I need the cold hard truth no matter how it sounds..its the only way I will truly sort things out

Try just hanging out before you jump in the relationship.  Honestly it sounds like you'd use him bc he can provide for your baby. Make sure you have feelings for him before you do anything.

Of course you can try it out. If there was NOTHING there, you wouldn't consider it. However, don't move too fast and don't move too soon. I'd wait for him to prove himself. You don't have to live with him right away to get his help nor his love. His love and support will draw you to him. And when all else fails pray on it and/or just follow your heart and mommy instincts

I think u guys should try and be friends first see where things go. If u don't feel anything for him still tho then no u shouldn't get back with him. Ur baby will get everything it needs bc u will find a way. Bc trust me if u get with him for that reason with no feelings for him everything will be worse down the road.

I think you should do what you think is best for the baby. But if you know or feel the relationship wont go anywhere then I say no. No point in hurting someone over your own selfish needs. But think about the future, if you feel it could work.  Try it.
