re: DID THE FATHER LEAVE YOU WHILE PREGNANT?

posted 15th Feb '07
When my boyfriend found out I was pregnant it wasn't a good time. In fact, the day I told him he had also been laid off.... he almost went mental. I felt like I couldn't even talk about the pregnancy. I'm at 25 weeks now, and during that time we split up twice. The second time he started with all the shit I just took off to my parents for a week (they live 7 hours away). He decided that he didn't like life without me and asked me to come home. I'm 27 and he's 22. We'd only JUST moved in together when we found out. I've been out of the house for 10 years... this is the first time he's ever moved out... and mommy did (and still tries) to do everything for him. This is infuriating. I have to do everything in the house, and on top of that after he was laid off he didn't work for 5 months... I had to pay for everything. One of the major reasons he was so scared was because he didn't want to get married... and to him this was the exact same thing. Now after we've started to try to repair it all (he has a job and is trying his best) I am always worried that he wants to be with some other girl... in a way all this back and forth has ruined it for me. I want him to meet his baby, and I do want to try to make it right between us, but as it stands I am sitting here by myself on our one year anniversary while he is with his band preparing for their first major gig. Sometimes I think I'm just feeling sorry for myself. Other times I wish we did just split up. I'm waiting it out to see if after baby is here my moods will sort themselves out again. I think I'll go have a cry and eat an ice cream bar.
By the way, baby is getting my last name. No ring, no name.
 
PS. I keep having psycotic daydreams about what I would do if I caught him with another girl... is this normal? hehehehehehehehe

My husband just left me too and on Valentines day no less. Well, he didnt acturally "leave me" he said he just couldnt do it anymore, meaning our marriage. I told him that if thats what he wants then he needs to leave (since its my house) and he has the nerve to tell me well "I have no place to go." He wants to split up but wants to stay living with me until he can find an apartment. WHAT NERVE! We are fixing to hit the five year mark next month and everything actually seemed ok. He claims that he's just miserable and he just cant live like this anymore. It just came out of nowhere! I never thought I would have to have this baby without him. I can take care of myself, but I'm going to have to sell my home. The mortgage is just too high for me too pay. The bad thing is I know that he is going to try and get back together eventually. I dont want him back! Everyone keeps saying that I'm just mad right now and I just need time to cool off, that I will change my mind once I am thinking straight. I dont feel like I will want him back, on one hand I want everything the way that it was before. But, on the other I know in the long run I will be a better person without him. In a way I dont want him in my childs life. If I have to do it alone, I want to do it truly alone.I dont want hime in my life or my childs life. I know its probably selfish, but right now thats how I feel. I never thought he would leave me in this condition, much less leave me at all. I'm so confused and hurt. I cant eat and I'm afraid for my baby. The last two days I've had to force myself to eat. I just dont know what to do anymore!

i moved my stuff out my ex's place last week and took something of his that i didnt mean to by the way and he text me to ask if i had it, so when i found i did i text him back saying 'next time you are in town, let me know if you want to pick it up' so about 20 minutes later, i heard a knock at my front door, knowing it was him i didnt answer, i thought to myself i dont want him just nipping round to my house i want to know when he coming round.
so later on last night i was alone thinking to myself he is paying nothing towards this baby, but still wants to see him when he born, so i sent him a message say 'in the next few days we need to talk about money and stuff for the baby, only 16 days to go' neddless to say i havent heard back from yet, so he can text me and ask me if i have got something of his, can come round to my house when he knows i have it, but when it comes to providing for his son he wont even let me know.
but the thing that REALLY PISSES ME OFF is the fact that he thinks he can still have a part in my son's life and not give me anything for him. and his mother is saying he should round everyday to build a bond with his son if he isnt paying anything for him then his not going to see him. sorry just need to have a bit of a rant

I hate to say this, but I felt so bad for all of you ladies who's husbands/bfs left them after they were pregnant. Now I am one of you. I honestly thought that it would never happen to me. Boy was I wrong! Anyway, how are you ladies dealing with the sadness or the anger? I get sad and then I get angry! My emotions are just everywhere. I know with time it will get better, I'm glad we are all here and sharing our stories. It really lets me I am not alone in what I am going through. I hope you all are all doing well. Oh yeah and MEN SUCK!

I just get on with it I know that I will have to look after and support my baby on my own because his father is waste of space that is what keeps me going end of the day his dad might be the worlds biggest shit but he gave me my baby one that will end up nothing like him, if I have anything to do with it and the way things are going if he doesn’t start supporting his child then his going to get to see him

THE DAY MY HUSBAND LEFT ME, I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE GOING TO COURT TO GET MY GIRLS BACK. BUT IT WAS CANCELLED FOR A FEW MONTHS, SO LETS JUST SAY I WAS SICK FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. I WAS SO UPSET ABOUT NOT GETTING MY GIRLS BACK AND HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE FOR ME, NOT LEAVING ME! ESPECIALLY 21 WEEKS PREGNANT!

I met my husband last dec. we got married in last june. He is all into racing & stuff & has been his whole life...where as I never have seen a nascar race in my entire life. His big dream was to move to nc & work at a race shop. I lived in fl by myself when we met & had my own house & everything was great. after we got married we moved right up to nc so he could chase his dream. I left behind my family my friends all the people I've known my entire life so he could be happy. The night we got to NC I found out I was pregnant. So married &............... pregnant two weeks later. After a rocky start in nc & moving in & out of places he finally gets settled working for michael waltrip & decides he is going to move in & be room mates with a guy he knew from fl that also lived there. I left NC in oct. without a choice really. He called me & checked on me alot at first & said hes going to try to find us somewhere to live & he wanted me to move back up there with him. All this time I haven't seen him since oct. remember.......................I'm 21 and he just turned 21 in dec. He just told me about a month ago he does not think were ever going to work & we should just forget "the trying to be togerther" thing. I asked him if it even seemed like we were married & he said no   I got pissed. he hasn't called me now to even check on me since dec. we have a car in both our names a bank acct & other things that I brought into the relationship. I feel like he just used me to get to NC. so I filed for divorce. I wonder if it was the right thing to do. Everyone that has known him his whole life saying he really loves me & blah blah blah. I really think he hasn't seen me because it reminds him of what hes done. He gets to act like he not even married & doen't have a baby on the way while I'm here in fl with a huge belly. I really never thought in a million years he would do this to me. Then again if he really cared he would have tried to see me within the past 5 mths right? I'm due march 20th. no word from his parents either.....that live here in fl about 3 hrs from me. so am I doing the right thing because I just don't know anymore.

your husband sounds like a real jerk. I think my husband is too but at least he is still living up to his responsibilities. Your husband sounds like he is being really selfish and its all about him. Honestly if you havent seen him since dec. maybe it is best if you file for divorece. I am all for working it out with your spouse but it sounds like that isnt what he wants. Have you asked him if thats what he wants? I know being pregnant and separated is awful. My husband and I just separated on valentines day. we are at least starting to talk and working out what needs to be done for the baby. I think any man who doesnt want to take reponsibility for his child is no man at all. I even gave my husband the option of getting out of the whole baby situation and signing over rights. He refused. I'm really happy that he did. I would have lost all respect for him if he had. In the end you need to do what is best for you and your baby and if its to be without him then it just has to be that way. I wish life didnt have to be this way for anybody! I hope things work out for you in whatever you decide to do. I see your about ready to deliver, hopefully your baby will fullfill your life and you wont need him in your life at all. Wishing the best for you. Penny

WHAT A JERK!!! MY HUSBAND IS EXACTLY THE SAME! HE DOESN'T COME AROUND MUCH, PROBABLY BECAUSE HE KNOWS HE WAS IN THE WRONG. BUT, THAT DOESN'T CHANGE ANYTHING, I DIDN'T MAKE THIS BABY BY MYSELF! I ASKED HIM TO DO ONE SIMPLE THING THIS WHOLE PREGNANCY, BUY THE TRAVEL SYSTEM I WANTED, AND HE IS STILL MAKING EXCUSES, EVEN THOUGH I'M GOING TO BE INDUCED ON MARCH 1ST! WE DON'T HAVE TIME TO BE MESSING AROUND. I'VE BEEN THE ONE BUYING DIAPERS AND CLOTHES AND WIPES, HE'S BOUGHT NOTHING! MEN ARE IDIOTS! THEY NEED TO BE SHIPPED TO A DESERTED ISLAND, AWAY FROM US! OH, AND MY BOYFRIEND IS OFFERING TO BUY ALL THE BABY STUFF AND SUPPORT ME, I TOLD HIM THAT IT ISN'T HIS RESPONSIBILITY! AT LEAST THERE'S A FEW GOOD ONES OUT THERE!

I AM STILL TRYING TO GET HOLD OF MY EX TO TALK ABOUT MONEY AND STUFF FOR THE BABY, BUT STILL NOTHING, YET HE STILL THINKS HE CAN COME ROUND AND SEE MY BABY EVERYDAY.
SO I AM GOING TO SEEK OUT LEGAL ADVISE ON FRIEDAY TO SEE WHAT RIGHTS HE HAS TO SEE MY BABY, IF HE PROVIDES NOTHING FOR HIM, AND SINCE HE HASNT PROVIDED ANYTHING YET IF HE HAS ANY RIGHTS TO HIM AT ALL.

The last time I talked to my husband he told me he doesn't think we will ever work out....... this isn't the first time though. he usually calls a week after that saying he wants us to be together & asks about the baby & tries to make plans for me to move there with him...not this time. No calls at all. I filed the papers & I'm going for full custodity. I'm sure I'll get it, it just hurts my heart to know that my baby girl will one day have to meet this man that is her biological father & I just hope she doesn't blame me for him not being in her life. Why does it have to hurt this bad. Its like I've been hurt for so long I'm getting used to it. I wait day after day, looking at my phone, not to see if hes called so I can talk to him, I prally would even answer if he did.....I look at the phone just to see if there is any hope of him even caring. I can do this without him, I just hate that I have to. There has never been anything wrong with me that I couldn't get a decent guy, I've been with alot of great guys......why in the hell did I have to and marry the biggest con-artist lying asshole of them all. This is going to make it really hard to trust anyone..... at all. They say god doesn't give you anything you can't handle, all I can think is that I'm only 21!! I'm getting a divorce. I think about it really hard sometimes and wonder what else is in store for me if I've already been through all this. thanks for the support guys!1 I knew in the back of my mind it was the right thing, my family & friends are behind me too but.. just hearing I'm doing the right thing from people I don't know just gives me a little weight off my shoulders.
thanks!

LUCKILY, ONE DAY, OUR KIDS WILL BE OLD ENOUGH TO SEE FOR THEMSELVES THAT THEIR FATHERS ARE WORTHLESS. UNTIL THEN, UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE TO JUST SMILE AND TAKE IT. WE CAN TALK BAD ABOUT THEM ALL WE WANT, BUT THAT'S NOT GOING TO HELP THE SITUATION. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU. OH, I HAVE TO GO TO COURT TODAY, HOPEFULLY GET MY GIRLS BACK!!! YAY!!! BUT, THEY ARE TRYING TO GET IT CONTINUED, FOR LIKE THE 7TH TIME. SO, WE'LL SEE...

Hi!
I guess my situation is pretty similar as yours and wanted to share it with you. I had a basically one night stand with this soldier who always told me he had the surgery. I know I had to be wiser and ask for a condom but I didnt. He came to my city for a mission and when he left he asked me to keep in touch and so I did. few weeks later I missed my period and he again told me he had the surgery, even that I decided to have the pregnancy test and came positive. When I told him he was completely surprised and asked if I wanted to have an abortion....At first I said no, but after thinking a lot of things , his actions, I agreed and asked him to pay for it. What he told me?" I dont have the money now so I guess you will just have to have the baby" and then blocked me from myspace and emails.
Quoting JENN1983:“ OK, SO I KNOW THAT THERE ARE OTHER POSTS ABOUT BEING LEFT BY YOUR HUSBAND WHILE PREGNANT, BUT A LOT OF ... [snip!] ... AND MY HUSBAND WALKED OUT ON ME AT 21 WEEKS. IF ANYONE HAS ANYTHING THEY WOULD LIKE TO SHARE ON THIS, FEEL FREE. THANKS.”

I would like to first say to all they woman out there that have had their babys father leave when you became pregnant, and have had absolutly NO support at all, just stay strong, you will make it.
I however am 18weeks 3days as of today, and i am alone, really alone, my babys father hasnt provided any support, he took me out to eat one time, and doesnt stay consistant w/me, so i decided to leave him alone. i told him i wouldn;t do the up and down thing anymore. he texted me back "thats fine"....what a bitch, its so sad, but honestly i have to do what i have to do, remain strong. My mother has turned her back on me, that sadends my heart and im not sure how i will feel when she comes to her senses??
well had to get that off my chest, i just hope and pray for myself and others that are sad and lonely   i feel you my fellow woman, and believe me when your beautiful baby makes their long journey to your arms, thatpoorexcuse for a man wont cross your mind, its HIS loss, my mothers loss,etc!! smile! be happy, and let go of the babys father, who knows your future may bringthe right man to you  
bestwishes!
