Ok, so I never talk about my personal life on here.. at least not relationship wise. My baby's father and I have been seeing each other off and on for a little over 5yrs. I met him through his mother because she and I are friends and he was originally from CT, I met him when he came to visit her on one of his trips. I'm almost 32 and he's 26.. we met right before he turned 21. Anyway, the pregnancy wasn't planned but when I told him about it, he was excited.. he's like "you better eat right, don't do this, don't do that" and saying he wanted to be at all of the appts and u/s, etc.. We've never lived together but this summer, he moved 2 streets over from me. Over the last couple of months he's been a real jerk.. only time he even hugged me was when I told him my mother died in July. He's been very distant and we almost act like strangers. At one point he got very mad at me when I brought up the ultrasound and told me he didn't want anything to do with the baby now or later and that he didn't even believe it was his! Talk about a slap in the face! When just a couple of months ago he was professing his love to me! I have a myspace and so does he, we both have private pages and we aren't on each other's space.. well for some reason today his isn't showing as private.. whether it was by his own design or a glitch.. of course I checked it out. I had to learn via myspace that he's back with an ex from CT and that for the month of July he was seeing another girl from here, in my home town! I'm not very concerned about doing things on my own.. I've raised my son alone since my divorce and my divorce was 8yrs ago.. my son is almost 11 and my ex husband hasn't seen him since Aug. of '97. It's just the point.. I hate being lied to, or even more so, being left in the dark about things that are so important. His mother and I are still friends, she came to my mother's funeral last month and has called to see how the baby and I are doing and will stop by.. but what upsets me is that she knew all along that he was seeing this other girl in town.. this other girl even has a picture of his mother ON her myspace! I feel like I'm the last to know and I feel totally disrespected. I'm going to continue to invite him to appointments that he has shown no interest in attending, I will call him when I go into labor and let him know.. I don't want to be one of these women that keeps things from the father. I'm going to take the high road and know in my heart that I've given him every opportunity to be a part of this and that it was HIS choice not to be. That will make me feel better. I just don't understand how men can walk away from something they helped to create, something as precious as a life. I don't care that we aren't together, that is the last of my worries or concerns.. or who he's with for that matter.. but the fact that he can say now that he wants nothing to do with our baby now or later, that hurts. When I bring it up to him, he says "everytime I think about it, I get a lump in my stomach, I just wish it would all go away"... well what about the lump in MY stomach.. you know the one, it's about 15" long and weighs about 2lbs! And no, it's not going to go away, he just needs to grow up, become a man and take some responsibility! Ok, I think I'm done rambling..
