I'm pregnant with my first and Baby's 'father' is not and never will be in the picture.
When I was about 2months gone I moved city and bumped into a very old friend from my Uni days (we had been very good friends,but graduating in different years and moving to different countries meant we driffted apart) But bumping into each other in the park we became very good (best) friends - far better friends than we ever where in uni.
He has wanted to and offered to help me getting stuff ready for DC. taking me to hospital, helping me buy stuff, and actually appears attached to the bump. (I accepted his help/just being there)
I love that fact that he is doing those things when I didn't ask him to.
There have been incidences when I think our relationship is going to go 'futher' but then together we are 'touchy-feely' to each other
I welcome his help and his friendship above any help he gives. That is far more important to me than him doing anything for me and baby
But a few people have said some things about me 'using' him and it has made me doubt the way we are together and what he is doing for us
My DMum thinks that I am using him and exploiting his kindness (her exact words) and some friends (not in the group we hang out with but in other cities) have also said that I should 'let him go' now as once baby is born he wont want to be around.
AIBU by letting him do all these things and just ....(don't know how to explain it) ??
