My name is Michelle, I am 16 weeks pregnant. MY boyfriend and I recently broke 9 months ago in November. We are still broken, however I would still see him, and I got pregnant in May. We were together for 4 1/2 years prior to me being pregnant. Now that I'm pregnant he doesn't want to be with me because he got used to the single life and it;s hard for him just to jump back into our relationship. Well anyway, luckily he's gonna be there for the baby, but not emotionally for me. What a Jerk!!!!

Technically he does NOT owe you anything. You knew that you guys were not together when you had sex with him. So becoming pregnant and the possiblity that he would still not want to be with you were risks you chose to take. The fact that he is, at least, going to be there for the baby is enough.

Your right, it's just the fact that he still wants to act like were together, but he doesn't want to commit

So have you stopped sleeping with him or will you still be available for the occasional "booty call"? You both know he is not there to commit, but if he continues to get all the benefits of a relationship , with none of the things that go along with it---why not keep coming back? I know I sound harsh, but if you shouldn't put yourself in this situation. He may be using you for whatever he can get while denying you what you want most from this relationship. Leaving you to suffer because he refuses to commit or be there for you emotionally. I think at least, for the time you are pregnant, he should offer some emotional support as your well being directly affects the fetus.

Well I have stop sleeping with him, our relationship is so weird. He is just confused, he's really happy about the baby and he want's to be there but he doesn't want to get back with me and hurt me. I'm just glad he knows he understands that I'm not waiting around for him. I don't even call him he calls me and most of the time I dont even answer.
