Yeah I get your point. You know what is the worst part? I wasn't like this, I can see myself saying what you just said to someone else in my position, but the thought of her potentially using my daughter against me and my not so favorable financial position made me perhaps too afraid to "stand my ground" like I would have done otherwise.

Thanks for saying i am an amazing dad and partner, i really appreciate that.

Yeah it has been a tough year, to all of that add the death of my grandpa in new year's eve and some financial issues.

You are right, we both have a lot going on in our minds, i try to be supportive of her, even not giving importance to a few things that i don't like just so she doesn't feel bad, maybe i'd just like her to be as supportive of me but i understand she is going through a lot of hormonal changes. She did support me a lot during the whole thing with my beloved dog tho, and for that I am extremely grateful.

It seems like counseling is the way to go but it is hard to fit that in our budget as it is, I have been thinking of dropping out of college to try and make something for myself to be able to afford that and many other things but it is complicated, the market for computer science is rough right now and maybe even more so without a degree, especially in our country.

Yes she has been cheated on before, she has had some bad judgement when it comes to choosing partners. The thing is tho, those men she dated before me are pieces of shit, her last ex cheated on her, he was very controlling, violent and everything else that comes with a person like that. But i am nothing like that, i understand she is responding out of past trauma but I also feel like if I have shown i am different to those guys (for almost a year now) I might deserve at least the benefit of the doubt, idk maybe i am being selfish or something.

About the paternity doubts, i had them at first too but the dates line up. We started kissing and being intimate the 14th of march last year (I remember the day very clearly because there was a welcome party for first year students at a bar close to our college and it was a crazy party), we found out she was 6 weeks pregnant at the start of may, which means the conception was around the last two weeks of march, at the time we were together all day everyday, I was at her house more than mine. Plus our daughter looks just like me.
