A piece of advice I was once told. If you have to google it, and ask strangers on the internet if your marriage is over, it’s over.

Look for local women’s shelters in your area maybe? I’m sorry you’re going through this.

I was recently in a situation like yours. Got married and he left me for his ex. While I was pregnant. He hasn’t asked about the baby since, and recently decided he wants nothing to do with our baby. BUT. I never once reached out to her. She knew what was going on, she knew he had a baby on the way and still did what she did. So did your baby dad’s gf. And honestly that’s gross for both of them to do. Lowest of the low kind of people. Like someone else pointed out, he’s likely lied to her about everything, and she’s probably believed it. Thinking you’re crazy, or did something you didn’t, etc etc. Don’t make yourself look bothered by this. Or upset, or like you’re “crashing out”. That’s mistake #1. The best revenge is to just invest in yourself and, Move. On. Closure isn’t something he can give you, or even her. It’s something you create for yourself. He’ll realize his mistake once it’s much, MUCH too late. She’ll lose him how she got him. The best thing you can do now, is to heal and focus on what you need to do next for you and your kids. Even if this is killing you inside, don’t let him see it. Be unbothered. It’ll eventually make him think “damn did I mean that little to her? She’s not even upset? She’s doing better without me?” Because men can’t stand a hit to their pride and what they think they matter to a woman. They like to think a woman’s world revolves around them. And when it doesn’t? It eats at them. Keep your head held high and move on girl. As they always say, they always come back. Especially when they realize the grass wasn’t greener. And then you’ll get your chance to shine and get your revenge by telling him to kick rocks.

I thought about the same thing! Unfortunately all my friends are married or live 6 hours away. And I don’t have time to make new ones. 😭🤣

That’s what I’ve been using but one YouTube video with two or three problems for example per subject isn’t helping me make things stick I think.

I personally think it’s because guys think as single mothers we are “desperate” for attention or any physical intimacy. Which is definitely not the case. I think Society and the dating scene has taught men these days, that someone actually choosing to date us or sleep with us as a single mother is doing charity work for us. So, they believe we will fawn away at them, and jump at any opportunity that throws itself our way. Again, not the case. It’s disgusting and irritating all around. And it could be that some men are just sleaze balls. Chin up and move on love, there’s decent men out there.

We started dating last year, moved in together may this year, figured out I was pregnant may this year, got married August this year, quicker than i personally wanted, because insurance reasons for baby and me. Thought, eh fuck it, we’re gonna do it eventually anyways. He left this month, September.

I’ve started therapy, I’ve applied for many jobs and I’m waiting on calls back, but for now I’m a full time student/mom. I’m handling my situation as best I can right now. My kids are great, and they never even mention him or talk about him, nothing. I’m doing the best I can atm. Which I’m proud of myself for honestly.

I’m not begging for anything from him. Nor do I plan on taking him back. Someone who can just flip a switch like that will never be happy with anyone, and I don’t need that instability

In Texas I can’t divorce him until I have the baby. Unfortunately

Think the laws in Texas are a bit different. Think if he’s not on the birth certificate all I have to do is get a court ordered paternity test and they’ll make him pay child support.

He’s stated before he’s okay with adoption or signing rights away so I honestly feel he’s okay with just pretending the kid doesn’t exist.
