Q: 24 years old, 16 weeks pregnant, and father lied

In May I started talking to this guy, after a week and a half we started having sex. I really liked him. The next week I got pregnant. When we first started talking he said he was divorced, when I told him I was pregnant and asked him if he was married he finally told me that he is for now. They were supposedly seperated. After 2 or 3 months of feeling like I was being lied to I finally decide to find out for myself. He doesn't have one daughter, he has two, and his wife is 6 or 7 months pregnant. All this I found out for myself. I found his home phone number and called his wife. I told her everything, thinking she needed to know. She told me I could shove it up my whatever, so after that I figured it's on her now.

Most days I just cry out of fustration and not knowing. I start thinking about how he is not going to be there for this baby like he is for his other children. It hurts to think about everything he is going to miss out on. And it hurts even more when I think about the things the baby is going to miss out on because his father won't be around. At night I wake up in sweats terried that I won't be able to be everything this baby needs. That I won't be able to give this baby everything he deserves. A week after I told my boss I was pregnant, I was fired. How does everyone get through the uncertainty, the lonely feeling?

Okay, how do you get through the uncertainty? Day by day. My first suggestion is COWBOY UP! You met a man that was dishonest and you were fooled by his deception and betrayal. Second, like he is responsible for his other children he will be held responsible for yours with a court order. I know it literally sucks thinking one day your life is this way and then the next it's in shambles. Third, he is married, leave him alone. Leave his wife alone. You are living life on hard luck right now. What you need to do is start preparing for you and your baby. The greatest come backs in life are from the ones that hit rock bottom. As far as your job it is a law you cannot be let go because of pregnancy. The only flaw is if you were at a position where pregnancy interfered in your line of work? On those lonely nights sit on your couch and read to your unborn. Women are strong by nature. Do not give up! Spend time with your family if that's possible? A friend? Whatever you do keep your distance from the father. You need to work on you and be ready to be the support for your soon to be little one. Smile

I've already left his wife alone. But if he's out having sex with other women and then having sex with her, she needed to know. Especially with her being pregnant. I'm preparing for my baby the best I can right now. Buying stuff when I have the spare money, looking for a new job. Checking out hospitals and pediatritions.
He is army so when the baby comes he will be paying child support. But you are right, I do need to work on me. There are days when I feel strong and like I can take on the world, but there are those days when all I want to do is sleep until it's over. Thank you for your advice.

One day at a time! Anytime you need to vent or just have someone to talk to I am just a message away Smile As far as his wife? In my opinion you probably made the phone call more out of anger than her well being? I know exactly where you are coming from and I am not faulting you. His wife's sexual health and their well being does not need to be your concern. I know that sounds a little harsh but you have to look out for you. Once you found out he was married the only sexual concern should have been yours. I am just trying to get you to see things in a different light. The days you are strong count your blessings. The days you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders is when you hit your knees more. You keep preparing. It will be hard but all things are possible Smile
