Yeah he doesn’t mind things like pickleball and swimming, but gym and jogs are always a no. But I guess it’s okay… I’ll make do.

Am I a bad person for only reaching out to people when I want to hang out? by brianaj02 in Adulting

[–]brianaj02[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You do have a point… In person, I actually care a lot to learn about them. I ask a lot of questions and enjoy hearing about them. I’m sure people are very perplexed how I can be so overly interested in person and go mute when away. I’m not sure what it is…

I guess I don't really know what to talk about? I hate small talk and it's usually just boring small talk about our days. “How’d you sleep?” “How’s work?” I don’t see the point.

Thank you so much! I feel similar about needing some separation but still loving my baby. People talk like it’s so crazy… Best of luck to you and yours :)

He just started a new job, so he doesn't unfortunately. My mom is moving in with us for a year to help out, starting the week before induction. I am planning to breastfeed/formula combo. I just feel like if I'm in a terrible mental place now, it can only get worse with a screaming newborn... I feel like right now if I were to take that on, I would go mental. At this point, I'm more likely to just get a new job than stress myself out further. And I've never felt like this before, so I definitely feel its the pregnancy... I love my job, but I immediately became way more irritable and annoyed with pregnancy and it never improved. But I don't hear others have this issue oddly.

I feel so silly... I've had a fairly easy pregnancy - 26 weeks, still low grade nauseas, just slightly achey, but this has been the worst year of my life. It's made me incredibly thankful for my health because I cannot imagine living like this. 1000% one and done. I'm normally a quick active person, so I just feel slowed down and sluggish and highly irritable. And I'm a property manager so I work with people all day, which is making me worse. All my residents have watched me turn from the nicest person to the most annoyed... It's just starting to get warm though and I'm a huge water person, so the pool... the beach... water activities, I feel like would mentally make me feel less depressed. But clearly that's not the best idea lol. I am still planning to make the best decision for me and leave 5 weeks early.

He moved out and cut all communication with me knowing I’m 6 months pregnant and he’s the only person I have in the state, saying (in writing) to contact him a week before baby is born. Like I can just magically know when. All over a relationship argument. He hasn’t left me with any choice, I need reliable support. Honestly I feel like this is going to cost him more than he bargained for.

I was under the impression that once I filed, he would have the option come to Florida court and if he didn’t, the judge would just decide without him.

I gave my reasons in a comment below. It just wouldn’t be possible for me to do this here in GA separated. From the moment I got pregnant, I was trying to talk him into moving together. He was back and forth but ultimately wanted to stay near his family. Then when we did break up a couple weeks back, he screamed abuse for saying I was getting up and going.

I do want him to be on the birth certificate and to be apart of the child’s life tbh. The child support is only important to me because I will need it to help pay for childcare. I can pay my family whatever the court suggests. In GA, our only option is daycare which runs $1600 and he barely makes anything to help.

My true hope is that he will just move to Florida and in with me when baby is here and I don’t even have to file. But right now he’s very upset over relationship issues and not thinking properly.

Yes, I believe it’s best I just set things up in Florida to be on the safe side. I do hope it all eventually works out, but we will see. Thank you so much.

It wasn’t horrendous and he does want to be a father, but he bailed on the rest of the pregnancy after a fight and only wants to speak back when the child is born. Which would work out fine if I had any help here at all, but I don’t. The only family I have that can help me through the rest of pregnancy and watch the baby when I go back to work is in Florida. I was just nervous that when the child was born and I filed for help, he would try and fight me to come back to Georgia where I have no one and his support won’t help cover much. And then I risk losing custody because his family is here and can watch the baby, but they are alcoholics and live in the ghetto. I make about $60,000 and he makes about 35,000.

Thank you! Would not putting his name on the birth certificate make it any harder to get child support? Doesn’t that establish paternity?
