Too bad part of the name has your ex's family in it. He's creepy and doesn't want any part of the child when it's here.

Thanks anniek...

Well, my entire family has told Devon we don't care if he wants nothing to do with the baby but he has to be there when the baby is born... I think as soon as he sees the baby his mind will change... and if not than that's ok to.

Wow you are amazing!! I'm glad your family sounds like mine, they would stand by me no matter what. They gave us the option to adopt, keep it and not get married, or get married. It would have been interesting if we hadn't go married because my little sister was born in March and my daughter was born in June. Yeah kinda weird!! I sure hope your ex realizes how great your son will be. But like you said if he doesn't oh well he has you!

yeah, even if he does change his mind it doesn't mean I want him around after the way he treated me. He will have me and and the rest of my entire family Smile which is all he needs.

Well your ex will have to pay child support regardless of his involvement or non-involvement.

I hope he does but my cousin ran in to many problems with that and finally got him to sign off his rights all together without child support. Which she is better off that way, it's hard for her but he made it harder. He never cared for the girls any way. Now she can get on with her life and make it better (hopefully) for herself and the girls.

I think you and your family will be all he needs! But if Devan wants to be in his sons life let him it doesnt' mean YOU have to take him back. And try to get along for the baby's sake. Which you sound pretty level headed so I'm sure you will! Take care and have a good weekend!

I know he'll have to pay no matter what...how he'll pay i have no idea 'cuz he has no job at this point..i keep getting on him about that though.

Well yeah, I know I can't exactly stop him from seeing the baby if he wants. We still talk and get along pretty well now that we aren't together. I'd love to get back with him but we get along better now... maybe we just need a break and it might eventually happen... What ever happens, happens though. Thanks. You Too...

I know I do. I have better. I don't know if I still have feelings for him because we are having a baby, because we were together for a year or just because... I'm pushing those feelings aside and trying to forget I even have them.. I really like the guy i'm with. He is totally supportive of me and wants to help me as much as possible.. he always tells me he'll love this baby like it's his own... I have a guy that treats me 10x better than Devon but for some reason I'm not as happy as I should be...

I think it is perfectly normal for you to have conflicted feelings. Of course you wish the father of your baby were around right now, part of him is growing in your body. At least you can always tell your son, when he asks, that you loved his father very much

Here is the reason why you feel the way you do from a biological, physical perspective:

When you love someone, certain chemicals get released into your brain and body that make you feel good when that person is around. When the relationship is over, you literally go through withdrawal, similar to a person taking a drug and then stopping it.

Brain chemicals and Love

One of these hormones is dopamine, which is also a hormone that is involved with addictive behavior. When a person feels in love, they are activating their pleasure centers in the brain, which are rich in dopamine and blood flow is elevated. Since dopamine is the hormone that makes a person feel an "erotic high" when they see their lover, eventually the person will become addicted to feeling that "erotic high" and when it is taken away, they will go through withdrawal.

You're welcome. It's good to know what's causing that awful feeling, and good to know it will end all on it's own soon. Smile

Good for you!!! Futureshock is right the feelings will go away. Keep thinking about how your new bf treats you and how he makes you feel. That's all you need to know!! How was your weekend? Have you found a way to sleep better?

What is that sick feeling from, do you think? I hope you feel better very soon.

P.S... I got sick at the thought of your ex bringing his new gf to a function he knew you'd be at.

OMG, so were you in the car with the new gf? How weird was that whole night? Imagine how insecure SHE must feel, knowing you are pregnant with her bf's child.

lol!

What do your parents think of this guy?

yeah, it was a really weird night. Actually her and I kinda get along..she won't believe me about how he is. He stopped trying to convincer her himself.. she hates that I decided to keep the baby because Devon can't "move on" it's not my fault..he choose to cheat on her 5 times (had no idea they were together at the time)

lol...it was quit amusing though..

My mom still likes him for the most part 'cuz he some what wants to be around but my dad wants to kill him..
