Q: I Guess I Get What I Wanted...sorta

So, I just found out my ex. (baby's father) might be moving to Tenn. I was really hoping he'd be around to be part of the baby's life at least a little bit but, at the same time I wanted him gone for how he treated me at the end of our relationship.

IF he moves to Tenn. that means Dallas can raise this baby as his own without the interference of Devon which we both some what want.

As much as I dislike Devon I DON'T want him out of my life and that far away. I mean this IS his baby to, He should be a part of his life. He still thinks it would be best for me to give him up but the fact that I AM keeping him doesn't make him dislike me or not want to be a part of his child's life. Or so I thought.

I still care for Devon a little then again I will always in some way care for all of my exes. But this was just a HUGE shock to me and makes me a bit upset that he's just now telling me this. We're really good friends so I would have thought I'd have known sooner.

I hope he decides to not go.

he sounds like he wants to be in the babys life.. he just seems to think it would be best (Probably) due to ur financial situation to give the baby up. He probably isnt secure enough in his finances and feels he couldnt provide for the baby the way he feels it should be, which is commendable.

I hope he doesnt move, as it would be nice for the child to know their real father. but if he feels its in his best interest (and yours) then so be it. It sucks.. but what can you do?

Suzy- I asked why he is moving and I have not got a response and probably wont until some time tomorrow.
It is very sucky Sad

Sandy- He did say he wants to be a part of the baby's life no matter what I did. Keep him or give him up (we would have done open adoption with a family friend)
That is EXACTLY why he wanted me to give up the baby and well because of our ages. He has a temp job working with him mom now till march and is looking for a full time. Well was looking. I told him he didn't have to provide for the baby and he said ok but he'd still help out when he could. He's more worried about finishing college.

I agree. It would be nice for him to know his real father. He can be a great guy most of the time and would make a wonderful dad. I know I can't stop him but I wish I could. I just think he's not ready to be a dad at all.

well you are both young.. it was scary when i became a mom at 23.. i cant imagine being 16 or 17 with a baby. I'm proud of you guys for being so responsible about keeping the baby. It shows maturity and that you are being responsible for your own actions.

He'll come around. Especially if he manages to be there when the baby is born.

I don't know his reasons for leaving.

Lol. I don't think Devon would be up that fast but I do think he'd try to get there. His mom and grandma might try to stop them but screw them both.

yeah, I was about 5.5-6 months pregnant when we broke up and less than a week later they got together.... Then he cheated on her the first two weeks with me. We still lived together..and I had no clue they were together or I wouldn't have let that happen...
