I am now 13 weeks pregnant and for the first 9 weeks the fob was completely excited and there for me. He always has been. (we dont live together) Since then however its like I come last. He's blown me off multiple times to go drink and party with friends. He's even promised we could do something then completely ignored my calls and texts. He is 25! I feel like i'm with a 17 year old. Its sooo hard to go through this alone. I want someone to comfort me when i am sick and someone to talk to. Whenever we are togther, which went from almost daily to maybe twice a week everytime i talk about it he changes the subject. I just want to tell him to grow up. I see myself raising this baby all alone. I always had a father there for me and i wish my baby could too. When i tell anyone they just feel sorry for me and tell me it'll be ok and maybe he'll come around. which i really hope so but cant see it happening. Now he barely even tells me he loves me. When we argue it seems like everything ends up being my fault somehow. Some ppl ask me why i even deal w/ him but i kind of feel like i have to. i can see him doing something shady later on like in court for child support when i say he hasnt been there he could just be like well she never talks to me.. etc. does anyone know how i feel? i feel completely alone.

In reading your post, I almost felt like I was reading something I had written. I wish I could offer you some advice, but honestly, i'm not sure what to do myself. All i know in my own experience is that I will not nor could i possibly ever get an abortion for the sake of keeping a guy. I just wanted to let you know though that I know how you are feeling, you are by no means alone. Do you have family nearby?

Hi There,

My FOB left me a few weeks ago because he was terrified and wanted nothing to do with us. Now he is in another "relationship" and posted it on FB. He has turned into someone I don't know so I've had to walk away.

I wish I had a crystal magic ball so I could predict the future. All I can say, is give him his space, it's alot to deal with and he's probably terrified (like we aren't) - - but men aren't nurturing by nature and having a child before they are ready scares the heck out of them so they act out in stupid ways (By drinking, partying, being distant, etc).

Please just pray for God to show you the way and keep you and your baby strong during this time. I know how lonely and scared you are, we are all or have been at one point on this board. No one expects to be a Single Mother and it certainly isn't our dream, but you can DO IT!! You are a strong, wonderful and loving being and soon enough, you will become a strong and loving mother.

Just keep the faith and remember, EVERYTHING turns out exactly the way it's supposed to.

I wish I had more words of wisdom, I am single & pregnant and was devastated by FOB's hot/cold behavior BUT we are STRONG. Remember that.

best of luck to you. I hope he comes around and becomes the father your child deserves and the man you deserve. Remember that.
