Breaking up and finding out you’re pregnant.

Answered 5 years ago

I’ve recently gone through a breakup he kept promising he’s coning back we got back together and then a week later he changed his mind. I called it quits this time but now I’m pregnant (shock me🙄).. I have decided I’m keeping the baby, he has very mixed emotions about this.

My question is has anyone successfully got back together with their ex / baby daddy and it’s worked out? I’m looking for stories from both sides where it did work and it didn’t(they didn’t come back). I’m not looking at getting back with him but I’m just interested to know if the father of the child came back and wanted to make things work.

I’m also curious to know if anyone has been in a similar Situation where the baby daddy was involved one week then treated you like you don’t exist the next to the point where I’ve said I’m not updating you anymore you wanna know you ask and haven’t heard a damn thing but in a couple of weeks will be the worlds best dad

DON'T DO IT.

Terminate, then find someone who actually wants to share this life and love with you.

Yes, I support this answer. Men are generally not good at accepting someone else's child, let alone loving them. So many children are murdered by the "new man in their Mums life".
Some men are fantastic, but they are a rarity. And I dont think its worth the risk.
Even if you think you will go it alone, and dont intend to get into a relationship, you do not know what will happen in the future. This is advice from someone who was deserted by two husbands, when she was pregnant with their supposedly wanted children.
No they never came back, and no they never paid child support. One paid nothing, the other paid $5 a week (enough for a cup of coffee).
Needless to say, once the youngest was 4 months, I had myself sterilised, so it would not happen to me again.

Agree with you, it takes a really really special man to love and take on someone else's child as their own

It's biologically programmed into men to not to care for another's children. Bears kill cubs so the female will have their babies. Some men are amazing, but most will struggle with step kids.

Nope they didn't come back in my situation. My advice, to save you hell down the track, give baby your last name, save save save, and if I had my time again, I wouldn't have put him on the birth certificate... Don't care how wrong or illegal it is, single mothers with dead beat dad's who refuse to pay child support and disappear shouldn't need there damn signature for pass ports and the like

I agree with this answer. I knew I was pregnant when we broke up and he spent maybe a month wanting to be in her life and I haven't heard from him since. She turns 3 soon and I have no idea where he is but I can't get her a passport or anything because he refuses to sign anything. It's really frustrating. If I had my time over I would tell him exactly where to go from word go and agree that I wouldn't have him on her birth certificate.

I’m going through this right now, although I knew I was pregnant before he broke up with me. He would say he wanted to be with me then a week later say he didn’t. Last week he said for sure he didn’t want to work it out anymore. I give him updates, he has attempted to talk to me a few times but I have told him that unless it’s baby related we aren’t talking about anything. It’s been hard, really hard, but I’m not having my baby growing up in a family where she isn’t sure if mummy and daddy are together or not, and I am so done with crying over him. Now that I’m not waiting for him to change his mind or come back it has helped me accept that we won’t be getting back together and it’s for the best. I was sitting in your shoes two weeks ago hoping we could have have another chance and make our relationship work, wondering how I could get him to love me how I love him - now I’m accepting that it’s over and at peace with it. It’s relieved so much stress knowing he won’t be breaking my heart over and over. This may not be the success story you want to hear but it is a success for me, I learnt my worth and learnt to love myself enough to not settle for anything less than someone who loves me and wants me as much as I do them.

I found out I was pregnant after I was ghosted. I just thought it probably wasn't worth the hassle of having him in the child's life so I didn't tell him. I figured he would be with me if he wanted to, a child won't change that.

Yep, came back only to act like I owed them the world. Cheated within a few years and “blamed me” as I didn’t meet their ever evolving needs. Not to mention mine were irrelevant and unimportant to him. Don’t waste your time on someone who will always put himself first. He has no backbone, no sense of responsibility and if he is ever going to change it probably won’t be until after the birth (prepare yourself for a flake through the pregnancy), not at all, or in 10 years time after your child has been raised around a flake of a dad. Men typically aren’t as attached to a pregnancy as a women - it just isn’t so involved for them until after the baby is born. And depending if he has previous children or not (he might already be use to being a flake) could be a big indicator if he is even likely to change after his child is born. Good luck. Xx

That said - I know of another male - same background, complete accident of a pregnancy with someone he wasn’t even serious with. He settled down and had more children, got married, and is an amazing father to his children. He was also a complete flake through her pregnancy and said some seriously horrible shit throughout her pregnancy about both her and the baby. He completely switched when he met his child - a complete 360 change. Firstborn child though.
