Ex left when I was pregnant. Our relationship had always been up and down. The pregnancy was unplanned, and he took it badly, which I took badly. He later said he wanted to be involved, and insisted on going on the birth certificate.
A few weeks ago after weeks of no contact, I confronted him and said he needed to tell me what he was prepared to commit to in seeing DD and stick to it, and if that was nothing, that was nothing, but I just wanted things clear. He said he knew he had been a waste of space and would get better. For one week, he turned up as we had agreed, one weekday evening and then a couple of hours at the weekend. Since then it is the same old story.
This weekend he promised he would be around on Sunday afternoon, but I haven't heard from him at all. DD is four months old now, so obviously she doesn't really notice if he is around or not. But I thought he was a better man than this. He has a new girlfriend now, who is the obvious priority over DD. :(. He had the chance to walk away completely, why didn't he take it? I feel so rubbish at the moment.
Moneywise he does contribute, but not very much, as the amount was agreed assuming he would see her quite often and pay for things as and when.
I just want to shout at him and say 'but you promised' but there is clearly no point.
