I’m in love with both my daughters dad and my husband… tiny back story my daughters dad left us while I was pregnant and basically has had nothing to do with us since. I got married when my daughter was two to a past boyfriend. Recently my daughters dad has been reaching out to me, FaceTime texting and such and it’s just brought up so many feelings. He wants us to go see him so much of me wants to but I want to be loyal to my husband… but I’ve also been waiting for this moment for 5 years he was the first person I’ve ever loved. I know the right choice but?

He left you once he’ll do it again. Don’t give up the good guy. You will regret it. It’s a game for him.

He left you…. While pregnant…. So you are married to a decent man that you also “love”. Seems like old memories caught you. I think you should remember how you felt when he bailed on you pregnant to do it alone.

I think you are romanticizing what you wish the relationship could have been with your daughters dad rather than what it was… i understand wishing you had her two parents together but in my experience someone who could do something as bad as leaving you and his child does not ever change. No matter how much you love them. Imagine it not working out with her dad & you’re left alone regretting leaving the husband who was there for you. I would say don’t have contact with that man and be loyal to your husband.

If you know the right choice, why are you questioning it? I understand feelings for the man that helped you create the most important person in your life… But why even consider ruining your marriage for someone that abandoned not only you, but also his child. Not always, but chances are it will happen again. If you’re truly happy in your marriage, let your ex be a father and that’s it.

Don’t let people bully you too much. These feelings are normal. You will probably always love him a little bit and that’s ok. What is important is to focus on the stability that your husband provides your family. I was in a similar boat years ago. I absolutely take my kid to see their bio dad that stepped out…but in doing so I saw that they wouldn’t have made a good “dad” full time. It helped me with closure. Just take a deep breath and feel the feelings and then let them go much love!

He left you at the most important and vulnerable part of your life and essentially abandoned both you and his own CHILD. that right there should show you his true character. A tiger doesn’t change its stripes. your husband also stepped up to the plate so if you’re thinking of being disloyal to him when he has stepped up when he did not have to then he deserves someone better than that… just my two cents

So I will tell you from experience, the idea of having “your family” with a man who left you while pregnant won’t work out how you think it will. You can try for the relationship for your daughter, but take your husband. It sounds like you have a good one. What you feel for baby daddy isn’t real, it’s a fantasy. Let it go.

Mama, no. Like everyone else is saying, he literally left you while pregnant with his child. Why is he only coming around now? After 5 years you said? Be smarter. If he wants to be in his daughters life, make him work for it. Tell him to show you, make an effort first and warn him it’ll take a few months before you make your decision on his actions to be around your daughter or not.
Also, you need to get those feelings outta the way. You have a husband, I understand those feelings came back but again he left you while pregnant. How do you think he’d be now if you decided to leave your husband and run back to him? That’s a whole mistake.

You’re “in love” with what he once made you feel and the illusion of who he pretended to be, not with who he truly is. He’s shown you who he truly is, he left you when you needed him the most. Your ex is manipulating you into believing that there’s still something there when there isn’t. You need to cut ties and communication with him immediately. Your husband loves you don’t mess up a good thing for temporary feelings. Js

You’re feelings don’t matter at this point. You’ve found a man, a husband, who loves both you and your child! Your child should come first over these brought up old feelings. & to be honest you’ll both just end up hurt again in the end and you know it! That’s why you’re struggling on what to do. We women are dumb af sometimes and like to backtrack, but If you don’t want to lose what you have already, and if you want to be a good mom who is protecting her child, you better stay put lady.

Childs father walked out on you once…its five years later…you think he won’t do it again.? You and your daughter need a full time father/ husband. You doing FaceTime and catching feelings isn’t being loyal to your now husband. I suggest taking your husband with you. He is your life now. Nothing wrong with co parenting for the child with her biological father. But beware he left once…what makes you think he will stick around now.

I don’t understand how you could love a man who walked out on you and his child and had nothing to do with her for years.
I also don’t understand how you could do a man who is actually there for you, loving you and a child that isn’t his, the way you’re considering doing him.
Your ex messaging/texting/FaceTiming and asking for you to come see him, KNOWING he’s a POS who abandoned his child and you’re married should have resulted in an instant block.
I’m sorry, but your husband deserves better!

But nothing? You shouldn’t have gotten married if you were waiting for someone else. You don’t love this guy you’re just bored, and reminiscent of a time that is long gone. He abandoned you and your daughter without a word. He left you to be a single mother. He left his daughter without even caring how she’s doing. She could have died and he wouldn’t have known or cared.
Yet here you sit thinking about cheating on the man that actually has been here for you. Wife of the fucking year.
He walked out on you and he will do it again if you want to see him for your daughter take your husband with you how would you feel if it was reversed

It’s most likely bc you never got closer. Are you really wanting to leave a MAN who stepped up when a BOY left you and your daughter. Of you leave your husband for him it will come back some way to bite you in the ass. Especially bc he’s probably only reaching out bc you have moved on.
I wouldn’t be in love with a man that left me and my daughter… and then would insert himself back 5 years later… naw the only conversation you should have with him your daughter father is he planning and what he is planning to do be in yall daughter life and if not he can kick rocks … Your husband is the one that you should love and adore… Don’t be a be fool and fall for no good sperm donor you got
Do you really think this man actually loves you? OR is it more likely he’s playing a game. He didn’t love or care for you or the child if he just dipped out. And I’d suggest getting into therapy if you’re so willing to cause everyone trauma for some washed up baby daddy. And honestly it may be better to divorce since you don’t live or respect your family/husband bc you’ve been waiting for this moment. They deserve to be cared for and loved 
and be number 1 in their partners eyes.

He left you while pregnant and took 5 years to come back around. Hell NO! Unforgivable in my book. He’s trying to mess up your happy home now and play games. Focus on strengthening your daughter’s relationship w her dad, work out a custody schedule (you don’t have to go w her every time unless there is a safety concern and if so maybe have a family member supervise), use the time she is w her Dad to focus on strengthening your marriage and I’d even look into counseling bc what he did and is doing has got to be causing mental anguish to say the least.

Your ex left you while you were pregnant with his child. Has been out of the picture for 5 years. He hasn’t gone to court for rights of your daughter or to pay child support. He’s taken no responsibility. He’s just been manipulating you. Why in the hell are you even talking to the looser? Block him on everything. Forget him & move on.

I think you should tell your husband your daughters father would like a relationship with her and allow them that. Nothing more. We all understand the “first love feelings” but you need to remind yourself of how hard it was to pick yourself up and get to where you are now and what you have with your husband. The communication you’re having with him is emotional cheating and is not fair to your marriage-it needs to stop. Now. Or be honest with your husband.

Let’s get some stuff straight.
You’re married. The man you married did stick around. For you and your child that isn’t his. This other guy literally made a baby and ran. He ran from BOTH of you. And it took 5 years for him to come around? Lol no thanks. If he really took that long to decide that he wanted either of you to be a part of his life he’s not the one. He’s a POS, a dead beat. And if you truly want to go see him your current husband deserves better.
If he wants a relationship with your daughter so be it. But he doesn’t need to do anything more than co parent with you. And you don’t need to be traveling to him. He can travel to you all to see your child if it’s try hat important to him to be a parent now. He needs to prove himself. And if he’s not willing to and you go easy on him all you’re doing is hurting yourself, your child, and your current husband. And for what? A POS that’ll take off again.
