*Does he still have feelings for me?

*8 months ago my ex bf broke up with me because apparently we were "having too much sex." afterwards I found out I was preggo by him. It frustrated him greatly for a while. I moved away a month later after telling him we'll never get back together. We've been fighting about the baby the first few months, but now we're getting along just fine. I recently dated a guy to get over my ex, but somehow I couldn't stop thinking about my ex, so we broke up. The baby's dad asks about my baby and my health and is being supportive emotionally and financially when my own family puts me down from this situation. My family hates him for breaking up with me, but I've told them numerous times i forgave him and moved on after showing me he's matured and is ready to be a father. I feel like we can be together again, but my pregnancy hormones are confusing me. My questions are:
Are my feelings for him real or just cuz he's the dad?
How do I know if he still has feelings for me?
what do I tell him in order to find out?
If he does still having feelings for me, how do I talk to my controlling family about it?
Now I have a month left til labor and I really want my little girl to grow up with a united family.

Hello. My best answer for you regarding your feelings is that all feelings are real in a sense. Feelings shift and change with time and circumstances. But when they exist they do. This does not mean that they won't change with time, because they will. Feelings are not static; we can't stop them from moving and changing. It's just how it works.

The best way to know if he has feelings for you is probably to ask him. A conversation about your relationship and what will happen when the baby arrives seems like it could be a good idea. The approach I would take with both him and your family is just be honest about where you are at. Tell him how you feel and tell him what you want. And give him the opportunity to do the same. An honest conversation is the best way to understand where he is at, and to let him know where you are at.

It would be nice if You and Your BoyFriend do unite and make a Family - that would be the best case scenario!! -

BUT,

if that doesn't happen He should still Contribute to the support of His Baby Girl.  It's not only an Obligation, it's a Law that He be Responsible toward the Support of this Baby.

I'm not sure I understand Your question:  "how do I talk to my controlling family about it?"  What's to talk about?  There IS a Baby on the way - if You and Baby's Father decide to unite - what is there to talk about??
