Am I acting entilted???

Basically I'm pregnsnt by my bf and because if how our relationship has been going for last 9-12 months decided that it's best that he doesn't move in with me at the moment, may happen in the future but right now it's not the right thing for us!

Bf spends 3 days/night a week (fri-mon) at my house, and also I have his child here EOW and for longer periods on school holidays!

My house currently needs some work, nothing major just decorating carpets, bit done in garden etc that I have been working really hard to get done before baby arrives as I know once he/she is here it's never going to happen!

My bf was saying he would help with the house getting it uptogether etc but since I made it clear last week that we will not be living together at the moment his attitude has changed to basically "oh well tough work for you, you decided to go it alone" and "I suggest you get your ex husband to help pay for stuff" (my ex husband has never oaid a penny towards this children since we split!

Am I wrong or selfish to think that he might help/contribute in someway towards getting house sorted for his child/girlfriend considering he spends a large amount of time here, brings his child here, where they both get fed, watered, heating etc totally free of charge! Also if he can't bring his child here he does not see them as says his place is to cramped (1 bedroom)

I must say I'm totally shocked by this, can't help but wonder if he actually intends to support the new baby at all!!!

I agree with SolidGoldBrass completely.

id just tell him that you don't want or need him and you'll get the work done with his child support!

Cocklodger! And you are looking after his child every other weekend as well? and holidays?

I would tell him to get stuffed!

I always love the 'why are you having a child with this man'? Sanctimonious replies...Sad

Well frog tbh earlybird made a valid point. I had a baby with a c*t, knowing he was a c*t. Don't regret it for a minute because I love my DS. But really, what was i thinking? When I could have brought my DS into the loving environment of two people who really cared for each other? Oh gawd, bit tipsy and just remembered that those of us who experience abuse (any type) as children are more likely to end up in abusive relationships at least dome of the time. :-( so I agree but disagree. We have access to contraception but so many women choose to have babies with useless abusive guys. Night... hic...

You are not acting entitled, but he certainly is!

Frogisatwat · 04/07/2014 07:46

Snap charley! Wink I agree what was I thinking too? But its done its done for OP too and comments like that aren't helpful.

Barbs: Don't lose your resolve about dumping him.

Best wishes to you and a great future (without him).
