I met this guy three years ago, and at the time he was living in the same state as me but eventually he was going to move back to his home state CA. I was hesitant at first because, I really did not want a long distant relationship because they never seem to last. But we had so much in common to the point we could finish each other’s sentences.
I decided I was going to move down there but, landed a great paying job at home. Yet, we made and effort to see each other as often as we could. For a while I noticed things were changing with him, less phone calls, text ect. But we continued to see each other and I did not make it an issue. A month later after I got back I found out I was pregnant. I was shocked and scared at the same time. I knew we always wanted to become parents but married first.
Here is the current situation: He has told me that he wanted me to stay at home, and he would work. But he got laid off. So he has started going back to school. I told him that we had to move into a larger apartment because his place is only big enough for one person not three. He agreed. A few months ago I was at his place and some woman was calling his name and beating on the door. I later found out that he was dating her. His excuse was that he was feeling lonely and once me and the baby move down there he would dump her.
I want my child to have a father, but at the same time my trust with this man has gone out of the
window. I would love to cut him off but, since we have a child together it makes things very difficult I am open to suggestions on what to do about this. Should I move down there to see if this relationship can work?
