Think carefully about the last-name issue. We have moms in our school who yell at the teachers to change their kids' names on the records, and they can't because they have to use the child's legal name, yet those moms are the ones doing all the work and the dads are out of the kids' lives. Be sure this guy will be around.
Thank you all of you for the advice. Its up to him if he wants to be in our son life. Im not bout to stop him form doing so. This is a guy who promise he's going to marry me but you still talking to other women and trying to met up with them. I dont think so. My baby can have his lastname, but he is not gonna be a jr.
My husband is not a cheater but he can be emotionally abusive. I have been thinking of leaving him. I even told him we dont need to be together to raise a child. I wish he would be more supportive and involved but that is not the case. We had a miscarriage last year bc of arguing and stress for days and i dont ever want to experience that trauma again. It really bothers me that these so called men have enough nerve to lay down and make babies w us but but cannot give us the respect that we deserve as we are carrying their children.
I wouldn't say keep him out of the bby life. Just let it be about co_patenting & nothing relationship wise. As far as the name is a honor to name ur son after him nd he messed it up. Thts still his son but I wouldn't name him after him personally you have to deserve it.
Just because he cheated on you don't mean his child don't deserve his last name . just because he don't want to be with you don't mean he won't be a good dad.
Call a lawyer, set up the paperwork to file for child support when the baby comes, and call it good riddance in regards to the relationship.
Just went thru this a few days ago only difference is i didnt expect any cheating not because it has never happened before but because of the change I've seen in him over the past year or so! To be proven wrong i put my foot dwn over bills he is a mechanic makes money daily and he blew up n got very disrespectful calling me ******* n snatched a dresser out n said **** our 1 year old n unborn! Then left wit his clothes broke the dresser n left it in front of the hse came back to get his truck but had a ride n it was to my surprise the last chick he constantly cheated with was back!
Now I know it never stopped so im now praying for strength to let him go after 7 years its hard but i gotta do it! Good luck sweets its a struggle n it hurts 7 1/2 months pregnant so emotional as well!
Yes I'm proud of you for putting your baby first. Slot of time woman will stay with a man just to have a family and be stuck in a bad situation. Keep it pushing and do what's best for you and your baby. Your happiness will only make you a better mom.
I hope you don't take out your anger won't the father in your baby. just bc he cheated on you doesn't mean he shouldn't be apart of your baby's life. those are two separate issues. the only one who will truly hurt is the baby. Be angry & move on but don't sent him his kid. it will only make you petty & vindictive.
No you don't need that in your life or your child's. Good for you for putting your foot down. Stay strong mama!.
Yes he does and so do you I feel you
