Pregnancy Info HOME

That feeling of rejection is so painful, especially if you still have feelings for him. I know right now you are tempted to tell yourself you hate him, glad he's gone, never really loved him that much anyway. I know, I've been there. Exactly the same place, as a matter of fact. It hurts when someone you love and care about tells you they don't love you back. It's really painful when you have to accept the fact that they have moved on, and the thought of them with someone else makes you feel like your dying on the inside. Joy, it's OK to miss him and want him back. Your love for him and your feelings of loss are real, and you need to give those feelings some validation. They aren't just going to go away just because he did. I remember feeling so pathetic because it was like he was just gone and on to the next like I never even existed, and I moped around and felt lonely and sorry for myself and actually still loved and missed him. Even after he hurt me and made me feel cheap and degraded, I still wanted him to come home. It took me a long time to realize that it was OK to feel that way, I had suffered a loss of someone I loved and my plans for a happy future with that person. I know that kind of realization doesn't make the pain go away, but at least it may help you understand how you can still feel this way about someone who hurt you so much. There is also alot of anger that goes along with this kind of pain, that's OK too. Just let yourself feel however you feel, eventually you'll see that your much better off without a man who would rather hang out in a bar every night and sleep with other women than be there for the mother of his child. Don't let this be about him anymore, make it be about you: what you feel, what you need, and what is best for you right now. I'll keep checking in, if you want to talk. BTW, you said your 5 months along, so am I! Just hit 20 weeks, what day are you due?

Hi Joy, sound like you are in the EXACT same situation as I'm in. I'm now 7 months pregnant and the father left me when I was 3 months along because in his words " I don't want to ever be a father".Now he is out all of the time at bars and even has a new girlfriend. There is not a minute that goes by when I don't think about him, and stress out. I know that it hurts soooo bad, rejection sucks especially when you are carrying the mans child. You feel so helpless. I'm right there with you:) Anyways my best advice is just to keep yourself as busy as you possibly can....try your hardest not to think about him and give him his space. You never know, he may come around, but don't count on it. Focus on your baby and plan on getting child support from him. Work on taking care of all of the little things right now. He WILL regret it someday. What could be more important in a mans life than his own child??? Apparently both of are guys are too selfish to even grasp the importance of this situation. What helps me is coming to this website and reading about people just like me in similar situations, helps to know that I'm not the only one going through this and neither are you. You will be ok:) Take care and try to keep you head up, remember this is his loss!

Thanks guys, it s good know i m not alone. Btw momm4 I m 4/26 is my due date, just found out its a boy

Everyday is a battle for me to. Hearing my family sayin to me maybe he's got other kids or women prego rite now. Thats messed up its hard enough to get him out of my head. You ladies that gave advice is rite its just soo hard to be able to do it.I try to stay of this forum but it seems like this is the only place where i can talk to other women who understand or even just have some compasion. My ex works and basically lives at bars to. He's with many women and even living with one. Oh i am in my fifth month to. Take care.

Amen, absolutely right, Joanne, it is his loss. I just don't get it. How is it possible that there are so many guys who have no problem with the impregnating part, but just can't seem to handle the parenting part? This is not an option that women have, you know? Not that I would want to have that option, my kids are the most important part of my life, but I just get so angry when I think of all the children out there who have to grow up without their dads, just because these bums choose bars and s___ts over families. Someone should remind these guys that babies don't make themselves(!), and that if they don't want to be fathers they need to stop producing children!!

Oh, Joy, I forgot to tell you. My doctor said the actual due date is May 1, but we're doing a planned c-section early probably the third week in april(my two babies were really big ten pounders)and the doc thinks we probably better watch the size on this one. I guess there is a higher risk of uterine rupture after two C-sections, better not let this one get too big if we can help it!! We find out the gender on 12-22, we're so excited! I have a feeling it's a girl, but that's what I thought last time, and was I ever wrong. He is 2 and ALL boy!

I'm just so excited, I had to tell someone. I had the ultrasound, and it's a girl!!!!!!! I haven't had a baby girl in 12 years, I can't wait!

Any man who will willing walk out on a girlfriend that they got pregnant just shows that they are not responsible enough to even have a mature enough relationship to take care of his responsibilties. Although it shows that he is not worth being in your life more then just your little boy's father. What you should tell him is listen, Thats fine that you dont see a future with me but you do not have the right to rub those feelings in my face. Its fine to talk to me and I will not take your child out of your life, But you do not need to express your feelings about our future any further now. Its done and it hurts but eventually I will be over you. I know, I know much easier said then done... Been trying to get rid of my own feelings for a guy for the past 5 years. But it does get easier. Just focus on not stressing out and keeping yourself and your baby healthy.
