He told you he didn’t want a family. Yet, you let him sleep with you? Maybe he’s depressed? Maybe he’s dealing with his own problems?

Stop sleeping in the same damn bed with him. Ignore him. He doesn’t help with the kid and does his own thing then you should too. Keep looking for a place.

You need to go!! Do you have family to help you?

If your going to have sex with him cool but he just sees it as sex not love. Call around and get help with housing and daycare. Set up child support everything before you leave but do leave. I bet he has a side chic or is entertaining the thought of a certain one

The best advice I have is to never stay where you’re not wanted…

There’s nothing that you can do when someone doesn’t want to stay in a relationship, is something has to be force is not worth it, sleep in a different room ( maybe the baby one) and start looking somewhere to go , have some respect for yourself and stop having sex with him , it’s hard but it’s not impossible to live after a break out

Do what’s best for your child, then yourself. Its no fun starting over, but you will be glad you did later. Take one day at a time :heart:

Get a sitter, get a job and leave. Nobody can make anyone want them. Of course he still wants sex, but that doesn’t mean he will be good to y’all.

Document the proof that he doesn’t want a play and part, leave and pursue child support and full custody

I can’t imagine how much that hurts, but he made it pretty clear he wants out maybe can stay with a family member or friend until you find your own place, ask him about child support, he actually did you a favor by being honest, not waiting 5 or 10 years to tell you, and if he doesn’t want a family, there are plenty out there that do, so sorry :two_hearts:

My heart aches for you. Wishing you the best outcome, whatever it may be.

Stop fucking sleeping with him. File for assistance and they will put him on support. Leave if you can to friends or family.

My husband did the same thing to me when I was 7 1/2 months pregnant and on the other side of the US from my family! I called my mom and she and my brother came and got me and I NEVER LOOKED BACK…now I am with a wonderful man who married me and takes great care of me and my son….don’t waste one more day on this loser!

Why would you have sex with him,he is abandoning you and yr child, get mad. Tell him to move until you get your self straighted out, and don’t get pregnant again, he is using you

First off…cut him off. STOP sharing a bed with this man before he puts another baby on you that he doesn’t want! Just quit! Reach out to friends and family or a support system. Maybe just emotional, or financial or a temporary place to stay. There is someone out there for you and your daughter and, it obviously is not him. It WILL get better but, you have to stop giving in to him physically and emotionally. Just walk away. That is HIS loss! You’re the Queen of your own future. Own it.

Dude. Stop banging him ! if he doesn’t want a family, why are you still doing family shit together ? You go sleep on the couch if it’s his house and start looking for a job. Any job to help you pay for a new place. Just find a cheap one bedroom apartment for now. Just leave. Then find a lawyer.

Find a friend or family member who might let you stay to you get on your feet.

Get out Find help soon for you and your child

Dont sleep with him and definitely don’t have sex. Rather a man loves u or not or wants u or not they will 99 percent of the time, not turn down sex and will want sex.And be nice in order to get sex. Don’t forget about child support. When u leave go to child support services and get it done. They will take it from his check

i agree with Shelly stop sharing his bed they are places for women and their children and hit his ass up for major child support

Of course he will have sex with you. You are ALLOWING him to use you for sex. He already made it perfectly clear what he wants. Move on!

Let him walk but make it clear that if he leaves now it’s for good make him put it in writing

Do you have parents or a family member you can go stay with until you can find a place for you and your little? Also, love isn’t like a turd. You can’t force it. It would be better for you mentally to just leave with your child and move on with your life, accept it is what it is, and be the best version of yourself that you can be. If you run into him the grocery store or on the sidewalk, act like you’ve never met or seen this dude in your entire life. Don’t kill them with kindness, kill them with blindness.

Stop sleeping with him…he dont want you, but he wants to :eggplant: you down. I dont think so, leave girl, there is a man out there that will love you and your daughter and want that family with you. Dont sell yourself short.

If leaving immediately is out of the question, start making plans to get out of there. If you have family that will help, turn to them, no need for lengthy details, just that you and kiddo are leaving and need a hand up to get settled. If that’s not an option, find out where there would be help for housing, section 8, apply for state aid, take as little as you have to. I would have a bag for baby and for you packed to have in case you have to leave without notice. There are resources out there, you and your kiddo deserve to be somewhere that you can settle in and start over.

Stop sleeping with him, stack your funds, apply for all assistance and start the child support process. I’m sure he’ll change his tune quickly, but the damage has already been done. Don’t let him tell you twice that he doesn’t want you.

Lock him out of house and wave bye to him.

Since he told you that it’s all about you and the baby and in my experience when I was told that he already had another woman and yes it’s a shame that they wi leave you holding the bag but you will be better off without him contact your family and friends and reach out for help.

Wierd situations suck. Do you trust him with the baby?

:point_right: You could take him to court for child support plus half the home and spousal support.
:point_right: Depending upon where you live, even if not your home but living common-law (same rights as married depending upon the law where you live), you don’t have to leave…if you do then there’s no way back in and is considered like giving up your right.
:point_right: Don’t have sex anymore…it’s too emotional. You leave pieces of yourself…work on keeping yourself whole while going through this.

Is this the babies father? If so let him get out till you find a place, get your child support let him go!! Make a life for yourself and the child! Don’t beg any to stay if that’s not what they want you deserve more and so does the child. If it’s not his child find family or friends to help you get on your feet!

He’s a waste of space. What you need to do now is see if the place where your counselor is has a case manager or someone like that. If so, that person may be able to get you into a housing authority apartment. These places go by your income. The case manager will put you onto someone who can help you find a job and child care. Also get you legal aid to get child support. There are various places you can go to get free groceries, clothing, and furniture. You just need someone to let you know where they are and when they’re open. You won’t need them forever, just till you get on your feet. Once you get settled and get your feet under you, you’ll be able to function. It won’t be so hard to get by. Once you do get on your own and get established, don’t let him come crawling back to you. He might try. He might try to do it to stop the child support. He might do it to sponge off you. Or he might do it thinking he can get something from you. Guard your heart and your money from this clown. Most of all guard your baby. If he can run out on the baby before she’s even a year old, where’s he going to be when she has birthdays, Christmas, school functions, etc? He said flat out he didn’t want a family anymore. Tell him, “Fine. Get to stepping. And KEEP stepping.” And most of all, never let him touch you again. He blew that!

To bad for him he’s a father whether he likes it or not. Talk to a lawyer, he is the one to leave not you. You need somewhere to stay with your child he has to support until his child is 18 or out of school. Send him packing for the safety of your child. You do not want any harm coming to your child because he decides he no longer wants to be a father but wants to still be a husband.

You did the right thing to get counseling for your daughter and yourself, but he doesn’t get to change his mind about a family. He already has one. The only option he has is if he gave up all parental rights and allowed someone to adopt her now or in the future. He needs to understand that he does this, he will have NO RIGHTS OR OPINIONS to how the child is raised.

Stop sleeping with him
Act like he’s just a roommates. Don’t do anything. Eat , watch TV with . Nothing …
Find another place to sleep couch or spare room . Heck get a blow up bed and sleep in the babies room . I’m sorry he’s turned your life upside down. But you have to truly just tell yourself he’s done . And don’t belittle yourself into sleeping with him. He has no right to use you just for sex .
I would definitely file for child support . And they can help you get into a new residence even if it’s not what you would think is ideal. You can then save up and move .

Having sex with you does not warrant a commitment so long as you’re giving it up he will keep taking it but he is already told you he does not want you or the child you need to right now find out if you can get you and your child into some type of program for women and children that provides housing and to help you get on your feet a lot of places have these type of organizations in their towns and it’s time for you to start looking into that and this way you can be self-sufficient and walk away cuz all he’s going to do is hurt you and the baby and you deserve better I will keep you in my prayers

Is the baby his? If not leave. Easy.
If it is then he should have thought of the before hand.

First stop sleeping in the same bed. 2nd contact an attorney.

Do not move out until you have filed for child support & have somewhere safe to go. Do not leave any belongings behind because once you leave he doesn’t not have to let you back in to retrieve anything.

Hold your chin up. Continue therapy & join some support
groups. Do not go back!

The questions are was it just sex or was there feelings in the love making. If feelings and he isn’t either going or forcing you to go stick it out for the time being. The unfortunate thing about today’s relationships is the complexity.

First of all if he doesn’t want a family then why are you laying down with him and doing family things with him ?
Save money and walk away. Don’t ever settle for less. You’re stronger than that !!!

Often a Judge will award the house to the parent with whom the child lives…
2ndly - please get on birth control; you do not need one more to care foo, right?
3rdly - it is easy for a man to walk away; a baby is a big responsibility in their mind…
4thly - do not give him privileges and yet treat you that way he is … why buy the cow if the milk is free, right?
He will continue to jerk you around because you LET him… sleeping with him will NOT change his mind - I promise; thousands of females will tell you so …
Lastly, I am so sorry for what you are going through - <3

Try to find emergency housing, go to child support services and open a case, file for sole custody and list him as the absent parent on paperwork for assistance through the county, get all of your ducks in a row to take care of you and the baby.

He can’t just kick you out, but you really shouldn’t be in that situation. He’d have to go through the courts and follow the tenancy laws for your area and state. If the child is biologically his, it is against the law to kick the child out until they are of legal age. And him trying to force you to leave it kick you out also falls under domestic abuse.

Even if you do not pay rent, are on the lease, or he owns the residence, you are legally a tenant and in a domestic partnership. You have a child together. He would have to go through the court system to have you removed from the home.

Go to your country to start the paper work for child support or general assistance. If you get cash assistance and food stamp and medical, they usually will bill him for it. Its called child support. If he doesn’t pay, they suspend his license. You need to save up every dollar to get yourself your own place. If you work, then make sure you file for it at yoir local child support office snd sue him for all 11 months. Let him know you’ll be billing him. Secondly, why the heck are you sleeping with him. You need to have some dignity for yourself

Stop trying to make this work with someone not committed. Think of you and your child, kick this waste of human excrement to the kerb and teach your child self worth. You can only teach self worth by valuing yourself and realising you are worth much, much more, only then, will your child learn the value of self respect and self worth. Good luck to you and your child.

Find a way to leave. It’s not a healthy environment for your child to grow up in. And stop giving it up to him. He wants all the benefits of a family but none of the responsibility. He’s a user and you will end up wasting your good years on someone that was never interested in staying. He will eventually move on to other women, save yourself the further humiliation and heart break.
