I feel like my ex is manipulating me, cut a story short we aren't together but we are trying to be on ok terms for our daughter although I find it hard after he left me while pregnant with her and didn't want to know her now he's trying to be involved in her life she has just turned 6 months old and he's seen her twice, I went on a hen for 2 days before my friends wedding and because I was away he decided to confess his love to me telling me that he really loves me and that when we went out with the baby life started to make sense again and that he felt happy, and then none stop texting me asking am
I gonna sleep with people and all this stuff, bare in mind it's taken me to go away for him to tell me all this and how he feels but before I went he didn't say anything, I went on the beach and he was asking why I was there at a certain time and what I was doing and was I with a man, wouldn't stop messaging me while I was there, what is this lad trying to do🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Why are you entertaining any interaction with him. He is just manipulating you. So take some control of the situation and stop engaging with him. Answer only about seeing dd and money. Leave time between his messages. Don't put any emotion into your contact with him. Facts only and nothing about you or what you are doing. Give your self space from his game playing. If you guys want to work on things it needs clearer communication and expectations than what is happening here

He’s playing games. Don’t allow him to stir your emotions.

Shift to a more transactional/business-like way of communicating with him. You are co-parents but don’t have to be friends.

He is trying to control you.

is he on the birth certificate? What surname does she have?
