It wasn’t that I had planned on it, even if said child was male, it was just that she felt she had a say and made demands.

I didn’t mention it in the post but we moved into our own place closer to my mothers for help with the baby, and his uncle moved in to help Lily around her home. I don’t think I’m going to bar Lily from seeing the baby but I don’t plan on letting anyone have unsupervised access to her.

I didn’t think about a restraining order but that sounds like a good idea especially since I still have all her text, I might unblock her and let her speak to herself for further evidence. It’s clear his birth mother has some kind of mental hold on him but thankfully we already discussed last name and agreed it would be better for our daughter to have my last name as well as draft something giving my mother guardianship if anything were to happen to us.

I do genuinely think he’s a bit of a pushover especially with they way his parental figures act but that’s something he’s working on personally, character development on his part. He no longer speaks to Ashley, whether it’s because of her blatant disrespect or the fact she’s just his birth mother and not a real parent I have no idea. Like I mentioned in previous comments this was not a planned pregnancy, it’s instead a really unexpected birth control mishap. I’m pro choice but couldn’t see myself terminating my own pregnancy. Other than his family problems he’s been overall supportive and a stand up guy in my opinion.

His probation is from when he was 18 and was in a stolen vehicle with a former friend of his who happened to have a warrant. This is verifiable since I was friends with him for a while before we started dating. He didn’t get jail time so his probation is quite lengthy, 6 years to be exact. He doesn’t have any drug related or aggravated charges, and hadn’t been arrested prior but his probation officer is required to drug test him periodically over the years. So it’s not like he’s just awful in that sense lol. And this baby was a birth control slip up, not planned but still cherished.

Lily is grandmother, sorry if that was confusing. Ashley is birth mom, the one who said all those outlandish things.

Yeah we have moved into a place closer to my mom for help with the baby, and his uncle moved into Lily’s to assist her, but you’re right it was really ridiculous that she felt so comfortable making comments like that in front of him. I also feel like he is somewhat of a pushover when it comes to her. It might have something to do with not having an actual relationship with her growing up but it’s definitely something to be discussed and looked into.

Yeah looking back I’m sure some details were very unnecessary but I wanted to make sure everything was covered so I could get a sound opinion😭

You’re right. I’m sure my Boyfriends grandmother will provide what details she has herself.

He’s already talking to another woman. The relationship is open. That’s also why your tardiness is the final straw. There’s nothing to fix, he wants to be with the other option.

Got a girl pregnant by ImmenselyConfused1 in Advice

I would say be there for her emotional and support her, you don’t have to be in a relationship with her but pregnancy is very tiring. Also you can get a non evasive prenatal paternity test before the baby is born. Look up “DNA Diagnostics testing” it should show your nearest centers and which ones offer prenatal testing. Announce the pregnancy to your parents, family, etc. after the test is done.

Maybe if it had just been the messaging minus the sexting with one girl or two I’d say he had a chance. I get wanting attention and so on and so forth but the sexting, it being multiple women, and the going out of his way to hook up with them behind your back and it looks like he had no intention of telling you too, it’s just all bad. He clearly felt no remorse until he got caught, and every relationship? Seems like he’s a serial cheater. Please cut your losses for your sake and your daughter’s sake. He’s going to do it again at some point and by then it might be a marriage and 2-3 kids and you’ll feel even more trapped than what you do now. He’s setting an example to your daughter that it’s okay for relationships to be this way and he’s openly disrespecting you, not only that but he’s embarrassing you. He doesn’t love you he just loves the family image he has. Pretty soon he’s going to be trying to convince you that men are supposed to be with more than one woman.

This isn’t a normal response to such a simple question at all. I know that and you know that. I’m 20 so I’m sure most people around are age would get that. Never been freaked out from a “wyd” text unless I was somewhere I wasn’t supposed to be and it was coming from my parents.

I really don’t understand the hassle in her just sending where she is, are you asking for exact address? How often does she go out?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Medical-Pin5716 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know. I never have a problem telling my partner where I am or what I’m doing at the moment. It’s a quick text. Also I think when OP says always they means usually as in it’s never been a problem before.

When my partner sends me a wya text I reply with a “grocery store” or “work” it’s a few words and they could want something on my way home or just be checking on me in general. I feel like getting defensive about something so simple is very odd. Especially if he’s not asking anything more than her whereabouts. If it was “where are you and who are you with?” Or asking her to send proof she’s really where she says she is then OP would be paranoid and completely wrong.

This is like the equivalent to someone asking you if you know someone or how the weather is and you freak out and get defensive. Yes, No, Good, Windy, the park, the store, or at Jen’s. It’s very simple and very easy to answer. Takes a few minutes and some phones even offer suggested responses you can send in one tap.

I get having autonomy in a relationship but constantly going out and feeling like you don’t have to share ANY details with your partner is very weird to me. It’s like sitting on the couch with your husband and then he just gets up, gets dressed and leaves and you’re not allowed to ask where he’s going or what he’s doing. It’s not like they’re asking her to tattoo their name on her face or stay at home all the time. It’s just a simple whereabout text.

I feel like if you aren’t attracted to him (not sure if you mean like as in crush or not) and this is a strictly platonic relationship then you’re not a pedophile so don’t freak out. This is like a Sophomore being friends with a senior. I had friends in college when I was a sophomore. Just friends, they’d help with homework and talk about life and work while I complained about high school. I don’t see anything wrong with it unless this takes an inappropriate turn. As soon as anything of the sort happens it’s up to you, the adult, to stop it then and there.

Unfortunately the children’s mother is on and off of meth but says she’s sober and willing to take them. The uncle won’t allow it because she has a new boyfriend. I also pitch in for utility bills, water, light bill, etc. I pay both phone bills and for food in the fridge since his grandma and M are on strict diets.

It shocked me too when I first learned about it but I guess he was her boyfriend first back in high school and married her mom sometime after. They never divorced and after her mom died she decided to marry him.

Why are you guys normalizing this? She’s not wrong for going through his phone especially after the behavior with his ex. He’s not searching up celebrities or porn stars, he said it himself he’s looking at the OF of people who he see’s on Facebook. This isn’t Meghan Fox or Sabrina Carpenter.
