Tell me not to do it

Hi need a bit of a hand hold and some sense knocked into me!
Single parent to 4 week old DD. Split from ex before my booking in. He’s not been in touch apart from a couple of texts since. He’s not on her birth certificate and we have everything we need and a completely new life.
I am confident if me and ex had stayed together I would have been miserable.

However, this week I’ve had to text him to sort out a couple of child maintenance bits. We have both been totally formal and have exchanged less than 50 words between us. He did not ask about DD at all he has however agreed to pay for her.
Since then I have wanted to send him a picture of her. I know I have no reason to. He has made it clear he doesn’t want to be involved and deep down I know I can and will be doing this without him.

Also my whatsapp display picture is DD so he has seen her and that hasn’t prompted him to ask about her, so it’s a case of no message being the message.

I guess what I really need is someone to tell me not to send a picture and forget about trying to engage with him.

Don’t do it. He doesn’t deserve it and he doesn’t seem to want it.

CakeNinja · 17/11/2018 22:47

Don’t send it.
Feel free to show us though, I bet she’s yummy. We’ll all coo over her more than he would.
He’s not interested. His loss by far Flowers

She is beautiful.

ILoveAutum · 17/11/2018 23:09

DO NOT DO IT.

Do it and I’ll bring my steel capped boots around and kick you up the bum!

He doesn’t want her in his life.

Look at that statement. He doesn’t want her in his life

What kind of a wank badger wouldn’t? The kind who would just let her down time & time again. It’s NOT going to turn into some ‘Happy Ever After’ it’s just going to bring mess and confusion into her life.

You need to be STRONG now for HER and do NOT bring him into her life.

Truly.

PickAChew · 17/11/2018 23:10

She's adorable.

If ex shows enough interest to actually ask about her, then maybe send a photo. Otherwise, stuff him.

SimplyPut · 17/11/2018 23:11

She is beautiful!

Don't do it, show her how strong you are. X

DianaPrincessOfThemyscira · 17/11/2018 23:12

Oh lovely! Congratulations on your lovely girl, she is splendid.

He doesn’t deserve a picture of her.

FoonaLagoonaBaboona · 17/11/2018 23:12

If he hasn't asked about her he does not deserve to see that little beauty!
But ..my god he is missing out , she is adorable. Keep her all to yourself !

Poppylizzyrose · 17/11/2018 23:14

Do not send picture, he doesn’t deserve it.
