New boyfreind.......


Ok so I met a really great guy recently who is just amazing and has accepted the fact that I am pregnant.Im a little nervous to let him in though I mean with everything thats happened with guys before in my life and im afraid that the farther along I get he might start to get nervous about the baby and I dont want him to feel responsible for the baby because its not his.He says so far that he wants to stay and help and he loves me im just so nervous he will leave.Anyone else have the same problem?

Tattie met a really nice guy not so long ago too .... although he knew about her being pregnant right from the start, it proved to be too much for him in the end It was one thing 'knowing' she was pregnant, but once she started to show he found that he couldn't cope with the reality of the baby not being his. They are still friends, but she did get quite upset when he finished anything more

So I'll give you the same advice that I gave to her LOL .... there ARE some men who can cope with this, totally take the pregnancy on board and stick around for the long term, but they are few and far between.... but funnily enough, once LO is here that all changes and most guys are able to accept a stepchild and love him/her like their own - it's just the pregnancy thing that they get uncomfortable with ..... men huh?

So don't get hung up on the idea that IF this man can't handle the nitty gritty of pregnancy that you are always going to be on your own .... you have all the time in the world, pregnancy seems like forever but it isn't and you WILL meet the right man sooner or later (my husband took me on with 3 little kids from my first marriage - now THAT'S love )

Awww thanks my mom told me to just relax and not worry about the man right now that if he wants to take my stubborn butt on he should be given a medal lol......then my stepdad took him aside this morning when he came to pick me up for breakfast to basically go all FBI on him lol apparently he was asked how long he was going to stick around and told my stepdad that he loved me and wanted to stick around for as long as i would allow his stubborn butt to lol so i think we are ok and he told me this morning he didnt care who the father was all that mattered now is that he was there to help and i wasnt going to be mistreated again so im very happy! It was a very good breakfast up until the morning sickness im still having hit me lol.

I've just broken up with the FOB... and I've been talking to my ex, and he's absolutely amazing... He's accepting the fact that I'm pregnant, he wants to be in my life, wants to help me out... and I said to him yesterday... I'm falling for you again, am I gonna get hurt? He's like, I'm falling for you too bec, but i dunno, i hope not... I've got a thing with Monique but I'm willing to stop it for you.

Ehhh It's soo hard when you go through break ups when your pregnant because you know you NEVER wanna go through that heart ache again because it hurt sooo much.

He sounds like quite an understanding guy and I really hope it works out alright for you Just take things nice and slow and get to know each other really well. It is a huge comittment for him to be taking on, so i'd say that he must really like you But, I have known guys to get cold feet at the last minute so don't go too fast if you know what I mean?
