im 19 weeks and im feeling really down and alone... me and the babys dad were only seeing each other a month when i got pregnant it was such a shock 4 both of us... he wanted me to get an abortion at 1st but when he realised i was totaly against it he came round and said he couldnt let me go through with it. he said he would be there for the baby and i would not be alone but yet he says he doesnt want a relationship woyh me as he finds it hard to trust people.... he is 27 and im 21. we are both young and neither of us are ready for this. he txts me maybe twice a week asking how we are yet when i suggest we meet up he always has an excuse... he doesnt come to any doc appointments or scans. my parents want me to forget about him and have nothing to do with him as they are a great support to me and baby but they dont understand i care so much for him and he is the father of my unborn child and i believe every child should have their father in their life. iv told him how i feel about him but he never shows any real affection towards me and its really affecting me. maybe when the baby is born he will show some support but if he isnt showing it now im afraid he may not show it then... any advice wether i should show him the road or give him a chance. xx :shrug:
 
:hugs::hugs:

IMO i'd show him the road - if he is uninterested now there is no point in holding out for hope that he might change??? better to cut your losses and enjoy the time going forward xxxxxxx
 
My situation is very similar to yours, I learnt the hard way early on that I cant make FOB interested in LO, scans, appointments or anything. I dont want to be in a relationship with him, but have accepted that he will only be interested in what he wants, I cant make him.

I text him everything about the baby before I tell anyone else and leave the door open for him to develop a relationship with LO if he wants to. I'm not saying him behaving like a child and cherry picking how much or rather how little he wants to be involved is right, but I need to be able to look LO in the eye when he is older and say I never stopped his dad being involved.

I know its hard, but it might well be time to try being on your own and expecting nothing from him. Hanging on and hoping is a lot harder in the long run.

Lots of hugs xx

Couldnt have said it better myself, do think it must be hard for them, I can hardly believe baby is in there, so not surprised he cant.

Good luck, let us know what you are having xx
