l work in a lovely office with good colleagues, we work one or two days in the office. Everyone is kind and friendly. I recently told the team that l am pregnant. I will be doing it alone as the father is not interested and asked me to abort. I was honest with my work colleagues that the relationship had ended so l am going to be a single mum, l did not want to have to explain later. Colleagues know my ex as he used to come to some outings/functions with me. Anyway it was to avoid gossip later on so l thought let me be upfront.
my colleagues have been kind, the older women asking me how l am , one said she will knot a blanket for the baby. My boss however has taken it too far, he is acting like he is the father of the baby. He checks on me
(not work) several times a day, the texts and phone calls are nothing to do with work but how l am or if l need anything.
He has send me flowers and chocolates to the house. He has asked if he can drive me to any appointments, and if l attend any appointment he will want me to tell him everything. He has started talking about
setting up the nursery and hinting at buying things for the baby. He offers to come to my house to paint or do the garden. Honestly its like l am dealing with someone else not my old boss. He send me several pictures of buggies asking if l liked them, l just said they were all lovely. I feel like l am in a relationship (not sexual) without my consent. He
send me articles about motherhood, babies etc.
He has now started to come to the office on the days l am in. If l mention any cravings in the office he will order for example last time l said l had not had pizza in a long time, lo and behold it was ordered. Even the admin staff have commented how invested he is . I know he means well but
l need him to back off a bit. He is a good boss. I do not want to go to HR . I just need tips on getting him disinterested.
