OK so the day I turned 27 weeks the father of my child broke up with me. I'm 20 about to be 21 in December, and he just turned 19. We have been talking since November and actually got together in December. Not long after that I found out I was pregant. He was happy at first and we couldn't be happier.

We both had to go on to christmas break though and we were so infatuated with each other at that point. When we came back to school for the spring semester we moved in together at the fraternity house. Well things were going great for a while, and I really started to feel the pregnancy though. I had bad morning sickness and I felt so tired all the time. This made me become lazy and all I wanted to do was stay in bed. I also didn't really take good care of myself at first, I wasn't wearing makeup or anything and my friends said I looked like death lol but I soon got over that and started getting myself back together. The tiredness never went away though.

He asked me to change some things in me and make myself more likeable for myself and I tried I really did. I went on spring break and totally got a make over and started picking everything up and cleaning and stuff...We kept getting into stupid fights though. I know I got mad for no reason and seemed to always have an attitude and I got mad at him right before spring break because he didn't spend our last night with me, he went over to a friends house and partied. Well we worked on things and he said he liked how I was picking myself up...but then things got really rocky. He started to flirt with this girl a lot and at first I ignored it because he just has a flirty personality but then every time I turned around they were together. I told him that I was uncomfortable and that I felt like a third wheel around them and he told me they were just friends. When I brought it up it came down to him saying that I didn't trust him. I did, but I didn't trust her...I told her my concerns too and we talked it out and worked on our friendship.

Well shortly after I told him my feelings we got into a big fight and everytime we fought he would always say he was tired of repeating himself and that he was done. Not done with us just done with the fight. I didn't know what to do and he told me he didn't love me the same. He said he still liked me so we agreed to try and make it work until December and this happened near the first of May. It really left us with four days to try and get a spark back though. That wasn't a lot of time to try and work on anything. I tried to better myself and tried to become the person he fell for in the first place. On our last night together we went to Walmart and shopped and ate dinner together and then we had sex later that night. That morning we both got up and got ready so I could take him to his final exam which ended up getting cancelled. I was going to meet his mom and his sister later that day because they were picking up his things. I met them and they were really nice, and we didn't hate each other. They gave us a few minutes to say goodbye and he gave me a hug and kissed me.

I went home the same day and the next went out with my mom. She bought me some stuff for our room and I texted him and was like, I love you and told him everything my mom got. He asked me why I loved him and I told him it was because he was patient with me when I didn't deserve it and all of this other stuff. It was hard for me to explain because Ijust felt it in my heart. Then the blow came. He told me he didn't have the same feelings for me anymore and that he liked this other girl that I had always had suspiscions about. Well she has a boyfriend but also likes my now ex boyfriend. He told her not to break up with her boyfriend for him. He said nothing will happen between them while she's still in a relationship though. He has also told me that right now he's not looking for a relationship with me or anyone else. He waited until college let out for the semester to do it though, and waited till I got home. He lives in Arkansas and I live in Texas. Well he did say he still wants to be friends and stay in our childs life....but I'm scared he's going to leave.

The girl he currently has feelings for is moving into the same frat house as us and neither him nor me can afford to get seperate rooms right now. I told my mom what happend and she said she could come up with money and just kick him out and he can figure out everything on his own. I really don't want to do that to him because his gpa wasn't so high for the last few semesters and he lost his financial aid. That's going to put him in an even bigger bind.

In my heart I'm hoping that staying in the same room come July will bring us back together but I really don't know what his plans are now that the other girl is moving in as well. We agreed to stay in the same room for now though.

Before we ended our breakup conversation we clarified that he doesn't do breaks but we are over for now unless something changes between now and when school starts back. He told me that we didn't have to change our facebook status' for now either, I told him I couldn't handle telling everyone what happened right now. Of course when we break up everyone is going to see me as the victim in this and I feel like I am, but I don't want our friends hating him. Sometimes I feel like he deserves it though. I asked him a few days ago to consider seeing where we are at when a summer camp rolls around where we are both working at, and then from there just see how things are going when school starts back. I think things are going to get better for me once the baby is born because I will gain that motherly instinct, but he thinks they will just get worse. But he told me he won't make any promises to make it work but just see how things are going.

The only problem with the summer camp thing is that the girl that he currently has feelings for is going to be there too. I contacted the camp director and told him what was going on and he said he would try his best to keep them apart because he doesn't want to see me get stressed while there.

I'm picking him up for the camp though so we can still talk about birthing plans and stuff...and he said ok. I'm hoping that the few weeks apart right now will help me grow and him as well. I also plan on kinda seducing him with pheramones when he gets in the car...like I have this perfume that has them in there so I'm hoping that will work. Plus I'm picking him up two days before the camp so we can get wic and I can rest. So maybe in those two days we can get closer again, but idk. I want us to work out so bad but I don't think he does. He says he just can't love me, but he doesn't realize that pregnant me is way different than non pregnant me. My hormones are going crazy and I feel like poo since he broke up with me.

We aren't really telling people we broke up yet but I told some of my friends...some of them tell me that they don't even know why I stayed with him and others say that they saw the way he acted with this other girl. Some of them say that things will change back when the baby is born and if I keep praying things will work out. Since the break up I've gotten back in touch with my religious side and it seems to be helping a little.

I told him that I don't feel comfortable around him and the other girl together and that it hurts to know they still flirt despite the fact that we just broke up and that she has a boyfriend which she is supposedly madly in love with. He says he's helped them to stay together though. He also says he wishes I would drop the situation with this girl because it could be anyone...but their relations were the ones I saw and who others saw as well, and he doesn't get that. It wouldn't have been as bad to me if it were with someone I didn't know.

I just don't know what to do right now and I'm afraid when the time comes he won't even be there for me as a friend. I want us to get back together but that won't happen anytime soon. I'm hoping a summer will allow him to grow up and to really see what he's leaving. he wants the baby to have his last name but if he isn't with me I don't see the point in that either. She's mine now because he left me, he didn't leave her but it still kinda feels that way because he never talked to her...or as he says he only talked to her when I was asleep...and I know that isn't true.

Does anyone have any advice on what to do? Like should I keep trying to better myself to get to the point of us getting back together or what? I will take anything!
 
I'm sorry but he sounds like a twat!! He clearly wants to have some fun with this girl whilst away at his summer camp thing and your gonna let him... Errrm I would tell him exactly where to go!

You dont have to change your facebook status?? Lol, Its the first thing I did!! That just says it all that he wants to go away single and then come home and think he can get back with you and your child!! So when next yr comes is he going to do the same thing??

Tell him to sling his hook and concentrate on the child your carrying, he wants his cake and he wants to eat it too! Its all well and good but in the long run your gonna be affected because everytime a nice girl comes along you will be chucked to the side..

Get rid of him for good! Good luck
 
wow girl !!!! you can certainly type !!!

stop tryin to 'better yourself' for him... or whatever you call it... you are you and if he doesnt want you as you are then forget him !!!!

he doesnt deserve you.... add me on fb if u ever want to chat....... [email protected]

Thanks...last night we called each other because he laid down some ground rules as he called it and the first one just pissed me off...it went as follows,"We are through, if I decide to date Jasmine, or sarah or amanda or who ever then it's none of your business." & I told him it was my business because when our daughter is born I don't want her around the wrong people. I ended up really pissing him off and he went into his, "I'm through," crap and I told him that that's one reason he acts like a child.

I also asked him what exactly he's going to do when I graduate and I said take my daughter back to Texas with me. That pissed him off too and he was like, "I've been really nice about this so far but if I have to I'll go to court and when you lose you only get visitation." That upset me but I didn't go any further with that. The thing is I know I would win that case because 1. I have insurance and my mom has been helping me pay the rest of my bills. 2. He left me and the only thing he has done for this pregnancy is pay for one sonogram, get food stamps, and he's only been to like three app. with me. 3. he has an upaid speeding ticket. 4. he's an underage alcoholic and the list goes on...but these are just the main things.

It's just hard when you love someone or care for someone and they pull this. I know he's wrong for me but right now my hormones are just going crazy and I'm not thinking with a level head.

He also had the nerve to tell me that there are only three girls in his life, me, the baby and the other girl he likes. In all honesty I know it should just be me and his baby. He hasn't even told his mom we broke up...plus his gpa sucked this year he lost financial aid and he hid the letter from his mom. He's really irresponsible.

I want to resent both him and this girl but he is the baby's father and I don't want to deprive him but if he's going to keep this up he really doesn't deserve to keep her in his life. He says it's not fair but what he did to me isn't either.
 
im a bit confused...why do you still want to be with this guy after the way hes treated you? you deserve so much better than that.
my advice-
change your facebook status, delete him if you need to, cut him out of your life and have some time away from him to pull yourself together.
he likes other people so dont try to seduce him it will only get you down
throw him out of your joint room- he isnt your problem anymore.
dont have petty arguements with him because trust me it could come back on you at a later date.
prioritise yourself and your lo and i know its hard but you really need to get over him. hes not worth it and its his loss.
he should never have asked you to change or improve yourself. pregnancy is a hard time for us girls and if we wanna lie in bed and rest and look like crap then i think we should be allowed to. i spent my whole pregnancy looking crap but who cares? you have more important things to worry about than looking good to impress people
we're all here whenever you need to talk :flower:
 
I feel a lot better now. I've been down the past few days and it has sucked! I finally changed my facebook status and when people ask me why it didn't work I tell them the truth. My baby daddy is a turd lol

I feel so angry now. I resent him and the other girl and if they get together then I know things will never be right for them because of the stuff they have pulled.
I don't want anything to do with him but I still don't wanna hurt him witht he whole last name thing so I'm thinking of compromising and saying, Layla Isabell Hickerson-Weaver...weaver is my last name so she's still got his and mine. But he doesn't deserve what he wants after this.
 
Well I decided that he's not getting a name in there...not unless he puts a genuine ring on my finger and asks me to marry him. That ain't gonna happen and he hasn't shown me much since the split.
 
i think your right to keep little one as your surname.
you shouldnt compromise after what hes put you threw x
 
yeah I know. His attitude towards things suck. I was hanging with my friend and he texted me asking what I was doing and I said hanging with my friend and he's all like, "She may hate me but tell her I said what's up." & She flipped him off XD & he got all pissed cause he's like...I'm taking the blame just because I can't defend myself. How exactly are you supposed to defend yourself? You left me cause you didn't have feelings for me and you also said your feelings come right after the baby...so I don't count in this equation.
 
Hey hun

Sounds like you did all the changing!! Why should you have to change for him? If it was meant to be no man would ever ask you to change a thing!

Sounds like he wants to have his freedom on this semester!

From everything you've said you can clearly see his heart is not in this.

You need to forget about him and move on.

My LO will not be having its dad's surname. He left me to be a single mum, has treated me like sh*t and has not been in touch for the majority of this pregnancy - actually not at all - i've had to contact him and beg him to be involved which lasts all of a couple of days then he goes off on one again!

I am still in love with my ex, and would do anything to be a family - but I have to be realistic now. After the way he's treated me, he doesn't deserve me, or to be a family and letting him go is the best thing I could do. I haven't contacted him for weeks and do not plan to ever again! I have done nothing but chase him and try and get him to want to be involved and he doesn't want to know.

Sometimes the best thing to do is to just walk away x
