Does he love me or is he using me?
Does he love me or is he using me?
My relationship with my ex lasted for almost 2 years and for both of us was (and still is) our first serious relationship as I am currently 20 and he is 23. Within the last 6 months of our relationship we had a few rocky patches, he moved out of my house 3 months before it ended as we were looking to move into a better home nearer his family where he could get a job however, not long after his departure I discovered I had fallen pregnant with our son which was the start of many arguments over abortion to which I stood my ground and refused. Currently I am 8 months pregnant and he lives 40 miles away.

His friends are rather against any idea to do with me due to untruthful things he has said about me whilst angry/hurt in the past and he admits this is the reason why. He has always been a very easily impressionable person regarding trying to look good to his friends with them being the main force telling him to push me towards an abortion as his "life will be over". Financially I don't currently need any support from him as my job is very well paid and he only works 8 hours a week so he can go to college to "be at least a half decent dad" (his words). I realise I can not make him be there for our son and I wouldn't want to force him but I desperately want to encourage him to do so as much as I possibly can.

That is not your job to make sure he is there for y'all son if he does go the other way I think you should handle things the legal way and wash your hands with him!

I am very worried about the possibility of PPD. I am trying so hard to not let it get to me, I really want to push him away as I know it is the right thing to do in the long run for myself yet I am scared that it will mean he won't be there for our son. I feel so lost and confused as to what I should do :/

I say take it with a grain of salt.. Lots can happen when the baby is born you might get back together or you might not but it's not healthy for you to just sit around hoping you do get back together cause should he go the opposite way and not wanna be there and is a jerk about it leaves the door open for PPD.. Just go with the flow if he truly wants you it will happen and no one else will matter... Well except your son lol
