Sit n talk. Walk away if that’s how he still feels after talking
It sounds to easy on his part… Umm I think he found someone else.
Sooo. Don’t keep your kid from a good parent because you’re upset… and you can’t make him want to be with you. Move on.
p.s. Facebook dating is super fun.
Take your baby and leave him
Let him be for now. He maybe able to talk to you about it at a later time
DO NOT keep his baby from him unless you have a legitimate concern for baby’s safety. Just because he has fallen out of love with you doesn’t mean he won’t be a good daddy. Don’t be that person…

Both of you probably know what you are doing to put your relationship in jeopardy.
Don’t use your kid as a pawn. That’s not fair to him or your child. Regardless of if he wants to be with you or not, he should still get to see his kid.

Take a step back and breath talking from the heart rather than the hip does wonders good luck
Please don’t use your child as a pawn. Hold your head up and go on with life. Use the time that your child is with their father to recharge—a nice bubble bath, a long walk, curl up with a book or movie, or have a long chat with a friend.
Why would you not let him see her? You shouldn’t keep his daughter from him just because he doesn’t want to be with you.
Should never keep a child away from their father unless they are in danger not but because you wanna be bitter because of the issues you two have had.
I literally only had to read the question before coming to this conclusion: leave him! Soul mates can get thru everything, and if he wants to give up over a little fight (regardless of what it is about, besides unhealthy things of course) what happens when shit gets real. Sorry, but that’s my opinion
If he thinks it’s over, it’s over. But don’t take a father away from his child if he wants to b in her life. That is unfair to both him and yalls daughter. Set feelings aside for the sake of her
If it’s over it’s over, but don’t keep your child from him.
yea dont keep the kid from him but definitely separate. all u will do is waist more time on someome who wants to be let go. life too short. live your life and move forward.
If he wants out let him go. Love yourself and your child. Make custody arrangements. It is a business relationship now.
First thing. It’s not your daughter it’s both of yours, he has every right as you do, just because you’re angry and hurt, don’t use a child to manipulate the other person. No matter the circumstances.
Unless he is a danger or threat to both of your child. Then I’m sorry. You’re just being selfish and cruel just because your feelings are hurt.
If he wants this relationship to end. Then you can’t change his mind, unfortunately you just need to accept and respect his decision and move on with your life and co parent that child you made together!
That child didn’t do anything. Why punish him/her? If a parent is there for the child and loves the child then don’t let a fight or him not wanting to be with you… keep THEM apart. CHILDREN ARE NOT PAWNS.
Also, I say give him time. It can only go one of two ways. He either changes his mind and decides he wants to be with you or he doesn’t. You can’t make someone love you or stay with you. It sucks but it’s life

#1. Doesn’t matter how he feels about you, you don’t keep the baby from it’s father unless he is a real piece of shit (abusive, drug addiction, alcoholic). Using the child to hurt him or try to manipulate him into what you want is wrong!
Next if he says he wants it to be over then so be it. What are you gonna do beg him to stay and y’all be unhappy? Clearly is he feeling this way for a reason, respect him. You’d want him to respect you? Maybe you two need a cool down period or it’s just not gonna work anymore 
either way, I can tell you, forcing it will only make things 100 times worse!

Whatever has happened between you two is nothing to do with your daughter. Please do not make her and his relationship suffer. Once he has calmed down maybe you guys can look at couselling for the sake of your baby. You both need to do what is right for her and if you cant live together peacefully maybe its best you do seperate, a home with mum and dad arguing conatantly is very toxic for all involved. I hope you guys can work something out but please don’t use your baby against him, your baby was made one time or another out of love.

Keep the kid out of issues between you two. How he feels is how he feels. Don’t push him to talk. He will when he needs to. A new baby, the whole situation is very stressful for both. Take some cool off chill time. Some you time when he has the baby. As moms we don’t get enough me time, you both sound like you need to fix the main goal & that will take work. At the end of the day regardless how you or him feel. The child matters more

Your child is 2 months old… y’all are sleep deprived and stressed it’s normal to be bickering and grumpy at this stage you’re both adjusting to your new life
Give him a break he probably just wants alone time
And you CANNOT keep his child away from him just because he won’t talk to you… that’s super shitty and bad parenting y’all are a team whether you’re a couple or not
Give him some space for a week or so stay somewhere else and wait for him to come to you and talk when he’s ready

Don’t use your daughter against him. She didn’t asked to be born into this fight. It’s between you and him! Not her and him, not you and her. HIM and YOU! Honestly if that’s the way you think, you do have attitude and maybe need to grow up a bit. He sounds like he needs to grow up to, and understand you had a baby 2 months ago you are stilling changing your hormones back to normal and it’s a fight, you fight you make you you don’t break up! Maybe I’m old fashioned but my husband and I have had some struggles but we’ve fought our way through it, now we barely fight maybe a disagreement here and there but nothing major anymore.
I don’t think you ladies are giving the best advice… or any advice at all. She came here obviously to ask what she should do in hopes of saving the relationship. considering the baby is only two months old and they were engaged to be married, which you know is a serious commitment, it’s a big deal. she not just losing a boyfriend, she’s losing her family, what she thought was her future. feel for her, could ya??
I think that you should just give both of you guys some time and because you do have a child together you will be dealing with each other for the rest of your lives and you know if it’s meant to be it’ll be. don’t stress it too much, i know your hearts broken he’s being cold and you’re falling apart but be strong. be strong for your daughter and more importantly be strong for YOU. do not keep him from seeing his daughter just do you. fall back… put on your big girl panties and be the best mother you can be on your own. I promise when he sees it’s no sweat off your back and you’re stepping up to handle your own, it’ll drive him crazy. men always act right when you switch up. blowing up his phone and trying to talk just gives him “power” some men love those games…
he doesn’t want to talk right now, doesn’t have anything to say for himself so let him be. i’m sure you already made your points in your texts so give him time to chew it over. and just step up and get yourself together to handle shit on your own in the meantime. i hope for the best for you and your family. be strong mama. you can be sad on the inside, cry your eyes out at home but toughen up don’t show him that. you got this

You know deep down what is best for you. You know that man, if you love him, TRY to work things out. Sometimes all we can do is try when the other person isn’t meeting you half way. You guys have a two-month-old, he is maybe going through things personally on top of you guys bickering which won’t make things better. You guys have to find a way to sit down and talk like adults because in 5 days, making a decision to leave your home and leave the person you were just planning on marrying just a week ago, that is too much for a person sanity sometimes, especially you, with basically a newborn. If you guys were good just days ago, he needs to grow up and you 2 have to have to sit and hear each other out. Having a baby is all so new, he needs to learn to communicate and stop ignoring you. That is childish and needs to stop, he has a baby now, childish games to end. Take your time and remember, you are your first priority. If you’re not well, your baby won’t be. She needs a happy mom. If in a few weeks he still feels the same you have to find a way to cope with co-parenting with someone who broke your heart. If only life was a straight path…

Take a break, time apart often makes the heart grow fonder and if not then you know where you stand.
Communication is key 
I mean no fighting no arguing just honesty. You have to be willing to see his point of view, put yourself in his shoes and he needs to be able to do the same. My partner and I done this and now we are married. We can talk to each other without fear of arguing, attitude, resentment etc. life gets hard trying to juggle babies, work, the house, yourself and being a partner to one another. Cut each other some slack.
But most importantly you love that man enough to bring a baby into this world with him. Don’t be the woman who stops a man seeing his kid because your hurt. The only person that damages is the kid, and your relationship with your daughter in the future.

Honestly, both of you sound extremely immature. You just had a child together, and you’re breaking up over bickering & attitudes? EVERY relationship changes when you have a child. You have to be mature enough to communicate with each other, and compromise. Did you not discuss your goals and “vision” before creating a baby?! If you guys are having issues over something so minor, it’s never going to work out. The saddest part is that your child is going to suffer from this foolishness. Do not keep your daughter from her father, that cruel & unwarranted.

Babies, whether it’s your first or not, will always put your relationship to the test- take some time apart, clear your heads, chill out, consider if there was any truth to what he said, reflect and than figure out if you want to work thinks out or if it’s in your best interests to split- in the meantime don’t use your daughter and take away a part of her security, a part of her love, a part of her trust and a part of her self confidence because you feel he’s being cold. Everyone handles stress and emotions differently- when I’m stressed I tend to get short/ I sometimes have a tone or I say something snarky. My partner get quiet, and kinda withdraws for an evening- eventually we talk- we calm down and hear each other out- sometimes I’m

Omg I wish we could talk on the phone. I am 100% opposite of all this crappy things people are saying to you.
You don’t need to leave. HE DOES!!! You have the baby and inconveniencing yourself by staying somewhere else? No way. He is tired. He wants a break. He just wants to do him for awhile. So be it. He can take his break somewhere else!!! You are giving him what he wants by leaving. He loves the break you are giving him. Nope! “You are not happy daddy??” “Well I am so sorry that you think I am the only female in the world that bickers and nags!” WAKE UP COWBOY- we all do it from time to time!!!
You tell him you have had time to think. You march up in your house and tell him to pack his tampons and panties and get out. You are not weak. You are a mother. A woman. You got this!!
As for the baby… you can’t make him want to be a father. If he isn’t asking about the baby or trying to make arrangements to see, then the baby is better off with you until he starts to act right.
Things might get better but they also might not. It can take years and years for some men to mature and settle down. They are not all wired for it.
You did not do anything wrong. You will be okay without him. You can do this. It will get easier every day. I promise
A 2 month old baby needs its momma. The cry baby man that is calling himself “dad” right now is purely optional for now if he isn’t interested. That is his loss 100%. Not yours.
You didn’t do anything wrong. Good luck

Just focus on yourself and your baby That’s what matters right now. Its hard enough that your child is just an infant. Look for family for support. Good luck with everything

He doesn’t want you anymore. Simple as that. As far as your child is concerned your relationship with him does not matter. If he is a good dad he should still see her regardless of whether you hate each other. That comment right there is why women have such bad reps as mothers. My ex treated me like absolute dogshit but never in front of our daughter …i never withheld my child because he was cruel to me. My current partner cannot see his kids no matter how hard he tries because of a baby momma that is just mad she can’t have him. Women need to grow up. He does not want you.
Some of your comments make me sick. I feel horrible for your kids. Women who withhold their children only for their reasons are pathetic…if he’s a shit dad ok if he simply doesn’t want YOU anymore get over it. He probably won’t answer her because all she wants is to whine to get him back and doesn’t even discuss the child. Sometimes i am ashamed to be a woman

She’s not saying keeping her child away forever but maybe over the weekend if the husband is acting like an asshole? Makes sense to me. It’s a tense situation, emotions run high. Everyone saying he’s seeing someone else, maybe, maybe not, but your bluntness is fucking ridiculous. This is someone’s entire life we are talking about. Miserable people on here who need to get tf off this page if they’re not going to offer valid advice. If you’re reading this, take some time apart. Talk it over soon, it’ll be ok no matter what the outcome
Babies are a strain on any relationship because noones getting any sleep, there’s no time for each other, and lack of time for ourselves creates unnesary attitudes towards one another. Both of u need 2 sit down and have a conversation at what might be a root 2 ur issues. Give him some time and space then have the convo u might get back together but if he truly feels that way u won’t be able 2 force the relationship on him he will just end up resenting u and the child
Unfortunately sounds like he was looking for a reason.
Whatever u do, don’t use ur baby as a pawn because u r mad at him. That is incredibly childish and ur only hurting ur child by keeping her from her father.
Don’t Make This Easy On Him!!!
Tell HIM to get out!
Let him worry about where to go, & find a couch to sleep on.
Easier for one man to do, than a mother, & child.
And He’ll have to pay child support.
When a couple disagree or have their feelings hurt. There needs to be a discussion so that you both can move forward and be closer. If it becomes a fight where someone has to win. That means you have to make your partner the looser. If there is name calling our screaming. You will both loose. If you have a disagreement try to solve it in a way that you are closer at the end. We all have to own up to what we bring into the argument. Good or bad. No one can change that except you. If you do something that is hurtful apologies for it. Starting by owning up to what toxic behavior you bring into an argument can help calm it down. It will also give your partner hope for a better outcome and allow them a opportunity to apologize for anything they might have said or done. Kindness turns away anger.
Remember that if you leave and have a sign lease you are still responsible! But if you can get out of the lease let him go! He needs to realize that relationships come with problems but you can’t just walk away! You have a child together, and if you do leave don’t make it easy for you to come back!
First things first, you don’t keep a baby away from a parent.
Secondly, babies test relationships. Always. My boyfriend amd i never had fights until i had our daughter. We’d have small arguments about stupid stuff but never fight. Few months ago we had a fight and I was convinced he was going to leave but we both simmered the heck down for a bit and sat down to talk like adults. He had the same issue, my attitude. I was convinced i didn’t have one but you can be 100% i did in fact have one. Changed the way i spoke to him even when we argue and we’ve been fine since.
HOWEVER, if he is dead set on leaving, there isn’t much you can do other then accept it and figure out an agreement for co-parenting
There’s two sides to every story. It takes two people to fight. But the question here should be, do you want your daughter to grow up and see you putting up with a man like that? Most women choose a partner based off their dad. Think about your daughter in this situation.

First and foremost, never use your child as a pawn. Don’t be spiteful. She is his daughter too. And if he is a good father and good provider for her, why would you want to hurt her in the process of hurting him?
Now, in regards to his behavior towards you, ask yourself what would you tell your daughter if she was in your shoes? Would you want her to beg a man for his love? Your baby is what, 2 months? A new baby is usually a big stressor to new parents. I would say maybe just take a little time apart. Let things work themselves out. But never beg a man to love you. Know your worth. Set a good example for your daughter.

I understand that you might be hurting but you should let him see his daughter. Do not put children in the middle. The child doesn’t deserve that.
Even though you are hurting, you need to put it aside, your daughter is more important than your anger.
Now as for your relationship. Reflect on what he’s saying. Are you truly happy? Do you really want to make this work with him? Maybe seek counseling. I would give him time to think things through then ask him to sit down and chat. Relationships are about give and take, compromise and communication.

Don’t let your relationship with him get in the way of his relationship with his daughter, I get why you’d feel bitter towards his actions, but he deserves to be a father, not every child gets the chance to have a father. Take some time apart, evaluate your relationship, go to counselling, and see what works for the both of you. You might find that you want to make it work, or you might find that you’re better off not being in a romantic relationship, but can successfully have a coparenting relationship, it’ll take some time to figure it out, and in the meantime, push your feelings aside and allow him to see his daughter.

Your daughter is not a pawn to use as leverage to get him to talk to you. If he doesn’t want to be around you let him leave and leave him alone. You and your daughter should not be forced out of your home if he wants out let him leave. He is obviously looking for any excuse to end the relationship so why force him if he doesn’t want to be with you? Find someone who loves you and your daughter as you should be loved. Don’t teach your daughter that she has to beg and manipulate to get a man to love her properly.

can’t make him love you or be with you it’s best just just two separate like he says cut your ties however your child is still his child he wants to leave you not his child leave the child out of it you will only hurt your child later on and children grow up to know the truth.
