Baby Daddy

I have finally come to the conclusion that this man (baby daddy) is just pathetic and won't come around any time soon.

He hasn't helped in any way except a pregnancy pillow. My daughter is gonna poop or eat or clothe or bathe with the pillow.

Although I DONT want to work things out at all or ever...I  still love this man, genuinely. He doesn't though. He ignores me most of the time but it's confusing because he says "if it's not baby related I don't wanna talk" yet he asks me out on dates or to let's go exercise together or to festivals or events. And it's confusing. Maybe he's doing it intentionally. I don't know. But it makes it harder to move on. Very contradicting.

I can't help but feel the most in touch with my emotions at night. Not day. I'm thinking of it but it hits home at night.

I cry for him. I ache for a happy pregnancy. Doing things like going to appointments together. Picking out baby stuff together. You know? Typical things. But we don't get along. And I wish it wasn't this way. We've tried to make amends but we're two different people.  

How can I move on? I'm coping as best as I can and I tend to cry nearly everyday for him.

And definitely dont go on dates with him if he only wants to talk about the baby then that's all you need to talk to him about dont let him keep confusing your emotion s and keeping you on the hook by asking you out and stuff ehen he needs it tell him no. For your own piece of mind! Also do get a hobby find something to fill your time

I was worse . I was a stay at home girlfriend when I was so used to working or school . But get yourself a hobby or join a club at school . It will be so much easier. I started a pregnanct journal and scrapbook its time.consuming but keeps me busy

It's hard to keep my mind busy. I work mornings. The rest of the day to myself. I go to school Mondays and Wednesdays. Full time. Rest of the week to myself. I try to hang with friends but they all seem busy. I can't ride my motorcycle anymore. Like ugh. I need a hobby.

Girl were in the same boat ! Its very hard try to keep your mind busy that's what I'm doing. I want to pick stuff out with him for our daughter but he's been an a s s hole so I cant do much . It hurts a lot and I feel for him cus even tho everyone turns their back on him I always come thru for him and he's still a jerk ! I think to have a  happy pregnancy we got to know not to be crying its hard but we can do it :) keep your head up girl message me if you need to talk

@Sammie, oh it's so hard. Just.. Agonizing. I feel like this vacancy I feel won't be gone. I try to go with the motions but I can't bring myself to go out and meet new people or anything like that. I feel guilty although it's all innocent.

I know it'll be just my daughter and I but it's not what I ever pictured.

I started off my pregnancy being single as well, and its very difficult. Just keep your head up, think about your little one, and don't be afraid you go out sometimes, meet new people. Do some nice things for yourself. I'm sorry about what you are going through.
