I need some advice to ensure myself im not crazy lol.
I was seeing a great guy for a few months but it was never serious, we liked each other but i dont think he was in it for the long run.
Shortly after he stopped calling i found out i was pregnant and told him straight away and although he wasnt over the moon he has grown to the idea and is quite excited about being a daddy.
Hes been great come to every doctors appointment, calling most days to see how i am, cannot fault the guy.
My problem is i still like him, and im scared that im going to get hurt as were not an item. He says he doesnt want to be with anybody just now but would like to come stay with me after the birth so im not alone and he can help as much as he can.
Am i just lining myself up to get heartbroken or can something good come out of this?
I know its hard to say as you dont know either of us but please any help pr advice would be great, its really getting me down

He's not offering a relationship with you, he's offering to help with his child. That's very good that he is doing that and believe me, when the baby arrives, you will want his help. Accept that your relationship hasn't worked out and make the best of a bad situation. Any other man might have left you to deal with it on your own.

I'd accept his help. It is his child too and both he and your child deserve a relationship with each other.
