How old are you two?
WOW..........I am confused. I thought you were the other woman seeing him; you are the pregnant ex gf.
This father of the child; the ex bf.............Geesh, he is telling you a lot about what he and his current gf discuss? Oh my. Is he telling you to seek approval or just to get your opinion about what she says? Even if you are supposed to be best friends he needs some SERIOUS boundaries set in regards to talking about his current gf. Is he that clueless? He is probably talking about you with her as well..........trust me on that one. Keep your convos focused ON the child and nothing else.
He needs to stay away from ALL women until he sorts himself out. He doesn't sound over you yet he is in a new relationship.............he overlapping relationships without taking a breath which is NEVER a great idea. He shouldn't of started any new relationship until you both got through this pregnancy. I think he is PLAYING both of you using mind games.
"He told me because he made a post on facebook that upset my family about. Saying how grateful he was to have her long story short there was drama so I gave him a call. My family felt as though I should be getting the praise not her.. he was telling me that he knows how much I have done for him and the things I will do for him.".............Are you serious? The family needs to stay out of this too. You shouldn't of given anyone a call after they saw what was posted on FB. He is entitled to post this on FB. They are entitled to their opinions, however, they shouldn't be dictating what he is allowed to put on his FB. I absolutely abhor FB for these reasons.
Sounds like BOTH of you are going to lose and it will probably end bad for the both of you. This guy sounds like he is playing games. What makes things worse is there is a history of his father leaving the family.
Forget about having a little family with this one and just focus and you and your child. Forget anything romantic with this guy. And for heaven's sake ask your family to stay out of this. Quit chatting to his mother about him. Lastly, tell him you don't need to listen to anything in regards to what he and his current gf have discussed or are discussing, etc. Stay completely out of that as well. Who cares who is getting praise on a flipping FB page. Worry about more important things.
Like I stated in my initial response:
How would you feel about the situation?"...........Not good.
In my opinion this is probably going to end bad for you
I still feel this way.
Thank you! He does plan to be in our sons life. I guess only time will tell.
Rena, that explains a lot. His dad did this too. I don't know whether it's nature or nurture or what combination, but I've seen this dynamic. Men whose dad's leave, leave their kids.
Same way as women who say "I will NEVER act like my mother" always seem to.
Stay strong.
His mother is as shocked as I am. Especially since his dad left while she was pregnant with him she never thought he would act this way either. She is extremely disappointed and mad at him.
I also told him bestfriends don't do what he is doing to me. He is the one who considers me as his bestfriend. There is soo much to this story but I do appreciate the advice. I know what I should demand in a partner but I can not predict the future he was one person all these years & has now become a complete stranger.
Your first post said he considers you his best friend and is surprised if you don't call him for a couple days.
I hope you're getting support from his family. If I were his mother i'd be furious.
