I'm more of a lurker than a poster but I'm sitting here feeling like such a tit, I need to get this out there somewhere.

Its 6 years since I split with DDs Dad. It was when I was pregnant. He didn't want a baby and didn't want to try. By the time DD was born he had a new partner and was with her for 3 years. We were always very amicable, but I was distant. It was really hard for me, specially the pregnancy.

I suppose was so hurt and angry for about the first 4 years that I just blocked out all of my feelings. In the past 2 years things have improved a lot and he has become a lot more understanding (stopped smoking weed and that made a huge difference)

The problem is that I still can't get over him. He is great with DD (has been since she was born really) and all she wants in the world is for us to be a family. It breaks my heart and now I'm pining after the same stuff.

I suppose its because he we never tried. He has no idea how I feel. I can only assume he hasn't changed his feelings. We have never spoken about it.

Its never gonna happen. I need a kick up the bum. BADLY. I want to move on but today I ended up at his house for the first time and DD insisted on showing me around. It was lovely. It didn't help.

I think I might need help.

Is he single now and have you talked to him about how you feel? What makes you so sure it will never happen?

I think he is single now. He certainly was for quite a while and he did kind of hint a few times about possible options but I was still really cross and just kind of snapped back at him.

There was a girlfriend recently, but she seems to be off the radar again.

I haven't talked to him no. I am too scared I think. Though I suppose I have nothing to lose really. I suppose I think its not going to happen, because he didn't want me back then (or at least he thought he didn't want a baby). Not sure I could take the rejection again.

DD has been really struggling with going to him at the moment and just wants us together. Its really hard.
