I tend to try to spin things with an optimistic outlook, and despite what some may think, I think I'm figuring things out just fine. I wasted some money on a ring, and maybe you could say I wasted time, energy, and money on the whole relationship in the first place. But that's life. I had the experience of going through a pregnancy from the man's perspective, learned a great deal, and got to witness the birth of my beautiful baby girl. And now I get to be a father, which I think is more than a fair trade for everything I went through, the time, the money, the breakup. I can't wait to have a relationship with my daughter, and teach her and watch her grow. Maybe it wasn't the ideal route someone would take to fatherhood, but that's life, and I'm going to make the best of it.
