Hello,
So I really appreciated this interesting read! I’m in a situation in which my child’s father is not involved as he should be. He has been in a legal situation with his probation for almost 2 yrs. He has never seen my child in person. He was not supportive during my pregnancy. My kid just turned 1. He has probably checked on her maybe 2 times on his own the other times were because I told him he doesn’t check on her. He’s now almost done with his legal issues or he may already be done. I have no clue of knowing bc we live 2.5 hrs apart. He didn’t call or text her to wish her a happy bday. I know she is only one but it’s the principle of things. Anytime I mention that he can’t care bc of his actions, he uses his past mistakes and current situation as an excuse but claims he still wants to be involved in her life. It breaks my heart bc my daughter is sooo intelligent. Anytime we’re in a public place and a male smiles or waves at her, she’ll say “Da-da” or “Daddy” and I know that this is just the beginning. Up until recently I kind of believed his stories but now I’m starting to think that it’s all just him messing with my head so he doesn’t make himself out to be a bad person. It really makes me feel crazy at times because I just want him to comprehend how much importance he should be in his kids life but I know I can’t force anything. I feel like I’m just at the end of my rope with him. I recently told him he won’t hear from me unless he contacts his child first. I’m just tired of the excuses and lies but I don’t want to push him away from his kid either. I guess I don’t have anything to push away though since he hasn’t been there for her anyway.

Hi Chris, I was really happy that I came across your article and I would say it’s a good interesting read. So I was in the middle of randomly searching on Google on “What to do when your baby daddy wants to be involved in your child’s life” it’s been a month since we broke up in the middle of my pregnancy. It was during my 5th month of pregnancy that he all of a sudden told me “I don’t want to be with you anymore” it was really a BIG QUESTION MARK for me why he suddenly said that. to make the story short – now I am still trying to heal myself to what had happened and to focus more on me and the baby on my belly weeks after the break he tryna message me saying that he hopes the pregnancy is doing well and that we need to talk about how things are gonna work when the baby is finally born. Well right now I’ve been doing the “No Contact Rule” ever since after we broke up and now he’s been texting me every other week cause he wanna talk to me about our son. What should I do? should I reply to his messages or just ignore him for now until he my baby boy is born and decide? I need an advice.

Hey Mariah, so you would complete a limited No Contact as you need to make him away of the baby and pregnancy. Following the program but adjusting where you tell him the important things that he would need to know

Hi thank you so much for the advice you gave. So this might sound crazy but he it goes . So me and my childs father have been broken up for about 5 months now. Hes already moved on. Hes now talking to a girl that’s pregnant. The baby isn’t his she was pregnant when he met her. He posts about this girl almost every day it breaks my heart of course. After a month of finding out hes talking to someone else we meet up and talk. I told him that I’ve been seeing other people too (lying) lol. Well he starts to explain how hes sorry he made a huge mistake and he missed me and our baby. Im scared of jumping into his arms and allowing him back in. Because he still posts about this girl hes “talking to” . My childs father was also my 1st and only. So I’m trying my best not to fall into him again . I never felt this kind of pain before. Breakups feel like death. I’m afraid that hes going to cheat on me again . Or eaither I end up being a side chick. I want my family back . I just don’t think hes really ready for me. I’m not sure what to do right now.

Hey Chris, my baby dad and I got pregnant not planned. For the time of my pregnancy he wasn’t involved and I didn’t need him to. He was a jerk and didn’t want any part of that in my new life. About 5 weeks before our son was born, he contacted me and long story short he wanted to be a part of our baby’s life and MINE….. he’s always been a person to choose his happiness first always blaming others for his actions and reactions. We’ve broken up multiple times and got back together. One day he came back into my life after a few months and pour his heart to me, at that time I wish I felt the same. He was still the same person only difference is he was actually trying. I didn’t want to string him along I had gone thru way too much with him and felt I didn’t want to do it anymore. He got his feelings hurt by my honesty and went out and drank as usual and came home with tons of hickies on his neck…. I saw that and somehow we got into an altercation where the police was called. Pretty much I ended up getting full custody him with one day visitation in which he lost after the second time due to his reasons…. there was a one year no contact order. My son and I moved on. The day the no contact order ended he called and I was shocked. I didn’t even think I cared anymore. And hearing his voice brought back all the great memories we had… he told me he had changed and became a better person. I let him show me and I believed him. Long story short we were together again for almost two years. A lot of hard times it seemed the longer we went the worse it got. But no doubt he was a good parent. Not the best cus what first time parents are the best lol. But I saw he tried. Now recently we are back to that same situation again from almost three years ago. One day he snapped. The difference this time is that now he was denying me and threatening me. He was almost like a clown with no makeup laughing historically being so cruel to me. So now we will probably go another year without him being able to contact me or our son.
I just don’t get it. I know some things I could’ve done differently. And I know some things he can’t control. He came from a very fucked up family and I feel he projects that to our relationship. Still blames me for his actions and blames me for his reactions. Now I don’t know if I want him back but I am very good at the whole moving on thing and no contact lol. But I wanted to know, is it naturally for your baby dad to always have a little part in him wanting you? Always feeling that because we have a baby together I am somehow always his even if he moves on etc?
The first time we didn’t speak for a year it worked. Could it work a second time? Or it’ll only work the first time and that’s that.
He’s not a bad person he is actually a very sweet hearted soul but unfortunately thru his upbringing and type of life he’s brought up in, has taught him ways that shouldn’t have been his ways. In the end all I want is for my son to be happy. And even though I know that his dad and I are just too different some part of me always wants to keep trying. I just don’t know how anymore. I don’t know how to have him hear me when I tell him how I feel. Or to actually compromise. Or for him to stop blaming me for the crappy things that happen in life. In the small bit I’ve said should I even care to eventually try again? Obviously I’ll have an entire year to have the no contact but if he comes to me the way he did the last time should I even give him another shot? Or should I just always keep it professional and about our son? And anything he may say about him and I, I should just change the subject?
Now unlike other people. This also deals with custody etc. so it’s not just as simple as everything else.
But for some reason we always find ourselves back in each other’s arms, and for some reason even on the begining we’ve always Butt heads. But for some reason our connection is just so powerful that even our arguments are always powerful. We could argue about a penny and our sruguments would be so powerful that it would make the penny float. And it’s like that with our love. But for some reason instead of just ending things and being parents, every time this happens it’s always heated and in the most toughest hardest way to end things. Is this from him? Why does he always want to do things the hard way? Why didn’t he just listen to me when I said let’s just try to keep it out of courts and I want him to have a relationship with our son. Why is it he has to take things so far to the point it’s almost a competition for him to win? I don’t get it. Please help.

Hi Chris, I’m so grateful I came across your article. Do you have more on this topic and or success stories you coached? My boyfriend flipped when he knew I was pregnant. I didn’t find out until I was 2 month along because I was using pills and didn’t expect the baby at all. We dated for two years. We both think it’s true love. We work on career projects together and we are a perfect match there too. He didn’t want any more kids because he is dealing with a crazy ex wife who gives him a lot of problems for visitations to his two young kids. I had an abortion for this reason before and that’s when we started using the pill. But I still got pregnant. I don’t want to abort again because I’m 35 now. And plus I think the baby is already too far along to do such thing. I don’t have the heart to go through with an abortion. We had an argument in which I clearly expressed my wish to keep the baby and he stormed out. He left my apartment 2 weeks ago and I’ve been trying no contact. He hasn’t reached out and I’m feeling more and more difficult to go on with it everyday. Is no contact really my best shot? I can see the spark in his eyes when I showed him our baby ultrasound picture for the first time. But I think he’s so afraid. My heart is broken and I really wish he would come back to me.

HI Cheryl…I know what you are going thru is hard – but things will improve in your life, despite what happens. I do think NC is the right medicine as he has some growing up and maturing to do and sometimes some time and space can help that along.

my ex and i have been dealing with eachother for 9 years on and off. we have 2 kids together. we havent been in a relationship offically. he and i argue alot because of the shit he does that i dont approve off for example he ignores us, he’ll project our problems on the kids and ignore them as well because of how i reacted to something he did that shouldnt have been done. he told me while we were arguing that hes not inlove with me. then he started ignoring me after untill he brought money that he owed me after 2 months for my children late at night and tried to sleep over. he tried doing something with me untill he realized it was that time of the month for me so we started discussing things i do that he dont like and vice versa. he tried putting all the blame for our problems on me to the point he wanted to leave then said he loves me but isnt inlove with me and is gonna end up later on with his other babymother because hes inlove with her. i started crying then he started acting like he felt bad for me untill i told him to get dressed and leave then said i dont know why youre crying you have a million men after you.. then while walking away he wanted me to look him in the eyes while hes talking to me while i was crying and since i didnt he said for me to grow up. how can he expect me to not feel hurt after he told me hes gonna end up with another woman later on in the future. meanehile i basically wasted 9 years of my life taking him back always forgiving him and being the best person i can be to him and accepting shit i didnt wanna acceot but did out of the strength of not losing him for him to only end up leaving and coming back and doing right by us for a little while to only screw up again. i took all that for him to only now tell me that… whrn he left i expressed how i felt about him ending up with another woman when im the one who deserves him and i told him i deserve better and he told me that i do deserve better and that he hopes i find it.
what should i do… i want him back but want him to come back correct. i know i didnt go through all i went through giving him my all and having kids with him for him to end up with someone else that doesnt deserve him…

Hello my name is Jessica and my relationship with my baby’s father is very different. I’ve known him for about 7 years through mutual friends he was also my siblings friend we hung out but never had any intimacy, until I saw him again years later he told me was married getting a divorce and he had ugly marriage I knew him before his marriage happened& we ended up talking I had already had my first child from a previous relationship we had amazing sex it wasn’t a real thing cause of everything he was going through we talked for several months but I already knew him so he wasn’t a stranger and at one point I thought I was pregnant and turns out I wasn’t he was disappointed he grew a lot of love for me when we talked but I didn’t look at him that way his ex wife found out about me and was mad but how could she if they weren’t together he stayed at his own place and so did she they had a bad marriage so I stopped talking for him going back and forth to her and me I ended up talking to another man I knew I loved him and had a lot of feelings for this man I moved on from him so I ended up pregnant and was pretty sure that this other man I was previously with wasn’t the father the one I started talking to was so I cut all ties with the other one for me being pregnant and turns out I see my son and he has the other mans features I thought I was over thinking it but turns out it was actually his child and When I did tell him about a son he didn’t know about he was already 2yrs so he hates me knowing another man my son called dad had raised him and been there for our son that was suppose to be his life I was so torn between the 2 men my son who is now 4 knows who his biological father is and he loves the man that isn’t I feel so bad for what has happened the man that I thought was his father is not the best he was a good father figure to him but not the best to me causing a lot of arguments I left him and the biological father I loved and always thought I’d be with him and he was the one even tho I stayed with the other he wasn’t around so much so is why I never took him seriously he says he always wanted me for years he always loved me and I never gave him that chance and never cared to which was true cause I didnt feel that way like he did we got so close in the last year we were doing ok and we both wanted more kids together he finally got to spend so much more time with his biological father and him with his son I never gave us a chance until now I missed him and the amazing love we had made I grown to fall more deeply in love with him as he always had towards me but he can’t get over the fact that our son has the other mans name and how yhis is his only child he never got to see born or through this baby years or his first birthday I apologized to him so many times and not matter how much I did and do I feel like he doesn’t accept it nor does he have the other mans last name or did he signed the birth certificate I feel like he hates me for all that has happened he thinks I purposely did it to him cause of the marriage he went back to while we were first talking which was not true I didn’t know he was the father I wish I did know and knew when I was pregnant I last talked to him when I was pregnant but didn’t tell him I was cause I didn’t think he was a possibility so I cut ties like I said earlier in my story. My ex came back in my life looking for me when my baby’s dad and I were home having a great time together and we both such in a good mood I can still see that day how much we laughed and played until we heard a knock at the door he ruined it i didn’t answer the door like I wasn’t home! He asked me if I talk to him still and was I with him with watered eyes like he wanted to cry he knew I always have been before so it’s not like he doesn’t know about him or they don’t know about each other I told him no I wanted him our family together i was so mad at the fact I wanted nothing to do with him cause he wasn’t my baby’s father he tried to ruin us so We wouldn’t be together I want to be a family with him so bad I love him very much I miss him but he had other women he talked to I asked him why he did when we spent months together he practically stayed with me and he said I never gave him a choice to choose who he wanted I always shut him out when he wanted us and I did cause I didn’t know what to expect after what happened in the beginning I felt like he wasn’t being true to me it was hard after he went back to ex wife in the beginning as he said that’s the biggest regret he has in life cause we were talking and that’s why I left before I even got pregnant by him now I love him so much and I miss him a lot I want him back home with me I miss everything I’m so hurt I feel like life got me why did this happen i don’t what to do anymore I know he didn’t completely cut me out but after what happened with my ex we haven’t talked much if we did it was an argument I just wnat to get along and be a family like we planned to

Hey Chris.
I’ve been dealing with my baby daddy for 9 years on and off.
We’ve been through alot but always end up back together ( not officially ) just involved. That’s the problem we always have. Hes with me one moment then the moment i leave his sight hes a different person and it annoys me. I tell him how i feel with long paragraphs and he gets annoyed by lashing out or just ignoring me. I love him but sometimes need reassurance because all we’ve been through. We have sons together. Hes done alot of wrong and i sometimes bitch at him because I wish he can be more affectionate toward me not only when were together physically but also when hes not around. I accused him of being with another woman and the argument got heated to the point he hung up on me and texted me that he cant take my shit no more and to let him go because hes not in love with me anymore. next day he texts me at 5 am but was asleep so never got back to him until the next day i just wanted to forget about our argument so i wrote to him like nothing happened where he told me hes walking away from this whole situation as a whole and cant do this with me no more. i cried and cried and he just didn’t change his mind. I forgave him for everything hes done for the past 9 years but sometimes feel hurt and need reassurance. hes hurt me plenty of times and i would be upset but always forgive him but he cant forgive me for my reactions and try understanding me and where i’m coming from. Instead he now wants to walk away. I left him a few messages later on that night trying to see him for we can talk and no response, I don’t wanna lose him but wish he can hold me on the pedestal i deserve to be held on after all I’ve been through for and because of him. and another thing He hasn’t taken me out in years…
2 days later i write to him asking him for money for our sons being that he hasn’t given me anything since March due to a problem he had but looks like hes fine now and he ignored me till i told him to not project our problems on our sons and their needs that he doesn’t even have to see me and can bring it to the hallway and he give it to his older son and that im trying to avoid conflict and conversation with him as much as possible for i can move on and be in peace because i deserve that after 9 years of nothing but betrayal and hurt. he then said ” well i dont have it right now and don’t know when ill have it” i just ignored him.
I wanna do the no contact rule now since i left him on read but what effect do you think it will have on him. How can this whole situation be fixed. I just wish he can understand me like i always tried understanding him each time he wronged me. and really try giving us a chance and not be this way. What should i do!!!?
Please Help!!

My baby daddy and I broke up 4 months ago. I didn’t even thought that he’ll be around anymore… but he was there when our daughter was born, and since then he was around. We had a great time every time he came, he even said that how much I changed since the baby… and he is not againts anything good in the future. But I was tired and scared and wanted to rush things, and told him not to call me anymore and I don’t want to see him. He didn’t came since. It’s been 2 weaks. Now he is telling me again that he doesn’t want anything with me and leave him alone because we are not working together. What can I do?

Hi Chris
I was in a relationship with my baby’s father for 5 months then I got pregnant by my partner was not happy with the news so he begged me to abort giving an excuse that I had another child who I got some time back in highschool before I met him. He said that how could I get another baby before official marriage and how was it going to look in my parents but I insisted to keep the pregnancy and saved my baby’s life. He was not giving me any support so I decided to inform his parents about it which caused him to become bitter at me and break up with me. But he started giving me support from now until I gave birth, he is currently giving me support for the baby and he insists that our baby should be the only thing uniting us.
What hurt me most of recent is that he came to me and told me that he is seeing someone else which hurt me so much up to now coz I still love him and want him back.
So, I’m asking, is it possible to win him back?Or I should also move on.
Thank you,

My ex fiance, baby’s father and I bring up almost 2 weeks ago now. He moved his brother in who I have a shaky history with because he stole from me in the past…. I let him move in because I thought he was changed. Come to find out he drinks a ton and stays up extremely late. My guy started doing the same after already having an issue with that….it turned into a lonely night with my almost 2 yr old every night while they partied in the garage. I left him and moved in with his father and gf. He texted me asking for my ring back. I’m sad ….
Feels like I can’t even think of words to say anytime he text me. It’s always about my baby, he’s getting him a new bed since I took the crib… One thing he did text to me directly towards me was ….”please get it together, put down is important” also a lot to do with him giving me tons of chances and I self sabatoged myself and I need to find a new place and he’d watch baby from home when he starts going to school…… Just a lot of that type of stuff…..
I actually really do feel the loss and miss him….

Dear Chris ,
I was helpless and came across your article. I am 14 weeks pregnant. My baby daddy has left me since week 8 , he didn’t even say he was leaving he just cut all contact as his mother and older sister ( who have a family for herself) did not approve of my pregnancy. Initially when he found out he was very happy and he was supportive, came to every mid wife appointment. There was an incident in January where his mum spoke very bad of our baby and I defended the child myself and him and he was there with me – since that day he has gone away. He emailed me three weeks later saying why he doesn’t want to be with me and none of it made sense it seemed like an excuse or something that his family has brainwashed him with. I knew his family very well and I helped them and him whilst he had an eye operation in December and everything. Hence why I was upset and reacted the way I did to defend us. I tried to apologise to his family they didn’t want to hear it and I have tried to speak to him and he just says it’s an unwanted baby , then said he will help and then he just left and has not spoken at all . He has heard me cry I have been in hospital for bleeding I’m guessing it’s stress but baby is wel so I’m thankful. I’m a little scared asbim alone sometimes and I really wish he realises that we can be together. There are more scans and I do want him to see our baby – becuase I know the man he was and the man he is now I can’t even recognise it’s like split personality
Another thing is that I see him everyday at work on the same floor so he is just going to watch me walk around with a bump and not feel a thing and it’s hard everytime I see him but I’m coping . Trying to be positive that If I don’t beg then he may come back sooner rather than later.
Your article has helped me thank you !

My sons father and i broke up 2 months ago he said he will never ever get back with me
That he loves me but is not inlove with me .
He said he wants to focus on his money and our son. I begged him for a whole month but i eventually gave up because he said he wouldnt try anymore and that i should move on . I been in limited contact with him . He just wants to hang out with me just to have sex but i honestly know my worth and i want to be more than just his friends with benefit i want to be his fiance again the mother of his child his partner. We started to get very distant because of his job and all the video gaming he did . He wouldnt even spend time with me or hang out with our son . Arguments started to pick up and he started to hang out with people more which was weird to me because he was never a social person . So my insecurities started to take over and i told him that i didnt like the fact that he has been going out more and it eventually led to a big fight were he told me to leave and that he was done. The reason y i started to feel like that was because he never hid his phone from me and he started to hide it under the pillow until i found out he was talking to a coworker but he she has a bf so im so lost :/ ….. he also told me that he is much happier without me now :! Help !!! I really want to make this work with him . I love him so much !

I can see things have been a struggle. Sometimes if what you are doing isn’t working, the wise choice to to try another approach…another path.

So we were dating 2 months things progressing well before … Bam: surprise pregnancy. His response was mostly shock and, what should we do now, fear of repeating past…. Both of us had children from prior relationship.
He began to distance himself said things had changed. He was called on duty for 3 weeks when he got back we chatted briefly and then picking up on all the red flags I just didn’t respond to see if he would pursue anything, step up, or put in effort. I haven’t heard from him since our last text. It’s been almost 5 months. I’m now 7 months pregnant with not so much as a word? I have taken many positive steps to move on and woman up to be the mother I need to be, I just have this nagging feeling since it was such a casual open ended text: literally” how’s your day? Well it’s hard adjusting to being back. Ok, we’ll hang in there! ” and that was the end … Nothing about the baby or us or anything really just a blend out sort of thing
Is this evidence to just move on?
I can’t help feeling there’s too much left unsaid… Do I open conversation?
He has my number … Could have contacted me at any time. Is that all the evidence I really need … The no effort says it all kind of reality.

Hi Sandy! I can see a lot is going on.Your focus should be on your continued improvement in your mental and physical health as a breakup can wear on one and being a healthy “you” is very important. You can move on, without fulling moving on, but setting your priority to take care of you and baby to come is most important. My Program gets into many different was you can embrace your full personal recovery, so feel free to explore.

First off, let me express how happy I am to have come across this article. I had heard about the no contact rule but wasn’t sure how to go about it with my child’s father so thank you for clearing that up. I recently started dating and made sure he knows about it, mainly because I wanted him to realize that I won’t wait around forever, so it looks like I’ve gotten the projection part down. I’m excited to see what happens from here… thank you.

So my no contact rule included blocking him because he’s an ass I played the broken girl then the angry girl and I got tired of him not communicating or doing for the kids not showing up so I blocked him. But now I’m the bad guy. My question is with 2 kids because sometimes you feel enough is just enough and you need to cut him out. And his toxic behaviors . Am I wrong for blocking him? Do I unblock him and follow your rules even tho he has now forced me to be a single mother and suffer cuz communicating with him makes me feel like I allow him to do what he wants when and how he wants

Hi Appletree!
If your are blocking him for your own emotional well being, then that’s fine. You should focus your efforts on your own healing. I think you will benefit a lot from having your time and space away from, particularly if he is behind a lot of toxic behaviors.

Hi
I was with my ex for about 3 yrs and 11 months we have little girls together age 2 an 7 months. It’s been 9 days now since he left without a word on why and jus basically left me hanging an felt so abandoned an my kids to I have been texting him for days now asking why an jus on Christmas day the 25 I had called him from my sisters landline cause he would not at all answer my phone calls so decided to use a different number he did not know an he picked up kept asking who is this an I told him it’s Alanna an he asked what do u want do u want more money an I said no I want to know why u left an did this to the girls an I an he wouldn’t answer an then I asked him are u with someone an he replied ‘ so what if I am ‘ an I said are u serious what about us an our relationship u cant jus do that an he replied what relationship an he went silent an a minute later hung up then I kept calling an now he wouldn’t answer knowing it’s me so I jus left it alone for a day an i ended up texting him again wanting answers an he still would not text me back so I let it be again an ya I been texting him on an off hoping he would reply an still have no gotten an answer he has not even asked about our kids an how they are doing it jus seems like he does not care I don’t know what went wrong he was so lovable to me always telling me he loves an would kiss me all the time an constantly fondle me an say that I make him crazy an that he would never let me go or give up on me an I believed him. He even said in our whole relationship that he would never cheat on me ever an that if it ever happened he wouldn’t be able to face my girls an I an so I’m guessing this is why he’s been ignoring me he even said that he never felt good about himself to hook up with any one an I believed he would never do that an ya I was wrong everything he told me for basically was a lie cause he ended up doing it all an leaving my kids an I astray what should I do I miss him an so do my kids , I wonder if he even misses us or even still loves me like he always told me he did an he would tell me all the time that he will love me forecer an that I’m his first an only love. I don’t know what to do can u please help me I want him back but how ?
