How can she give that away?? You never know. The guy may change his mind and his behavior and marry her and this plan of hers will have worked just fine.

Sounds like a nice lady but foolish if she doesn't force the sire to support the child.

Yep.
Always ask for child support.
It's not a matter of pride.
The biological father needs to bear some responsibility here.

Sometimes things don't pan out the way we wanted them too, At this point there's not much to do accept it and move forward, sorry to sound so cliché, but it is what it is.

It sounds like you have a good decent support system to help you along the way.

Best to you.

Well for a douche I actually am surprised he will support the baby. But then again, he has no money problems so not surprising.

As opposed to my husband who is not a douche meaning not sleeping around, but a major azzhole douche evil incarnate when we had pregnancy scare he wanted to terminate it immediately. And even wanted to divorce me!!!! But then again he is dirt poor so I am sure that's the reason. He did tell me he does not think he can support a child.

Major props to you too for not planning to take away the child from his father even though he is a douche.

You are right, unfortunately, he is your baby's father they both deserve to have a relationship AS IT SHOULD BE.

He may change when the baby is born. I mean he may be a decent father not someone for you to go back to.

Get an attorney.

It will be hard to get a decent guy when you have a kid. Not impossible but hard.

I hope there is a man in your life, brother or someone for the baby to have a male around. Playing catch or fishing with mom isn't quite the same.

Yeah, let's have even more dysfunctional single women who get tricked by manipulative, bad-boy players raising a bunch of innocent little boys to end up being just like their deadbeat dads when they grow up.

first thing you an do is get the paternity test done asap, and get the father to support his child, even if he decides to not be a part of the kids life. just because he says he will support the child doesn't mean he will. make it legal. him seeing and knowing the child will not change who he is as a person so get over that illusion.

yes, you will get over him and how he treated you. if he does decide to stick around and see the baby he will have 18 years to disappoint you and show you what kind of man he is.

You sure you even want to have the kid? You want to put yourself through this kind of life?
