My partner thinks I should let him live with me

Hi guys, long story short I (29) have a 7 month old baby, me and my partner (30) (babys father) relationship started to go rocky when baby came along. To be honest I got pregnant quite quickly into the relationship.

I've been living with family the whole of my pregnancy and since having my baby. I'm finally moving into my own place with my baby next week and I cant wait!

My (technically ex) partner the child's father seems to already be inviting him self over to "help me out". First off we are not even in a relationship anymore. We have been trying to get on for the baby, and now and then will have a family day out for her. We text regularly. But for me I'm just taking every day as it comes and taking it slow. Plus I don't need help I've done 90% of bringing her up so far on my own

He was very clingy in the relationship mind, would have a hissy fit if I went out with friends etc, he wants me all to myself

I dont want him in my personal space! I've been cramped up in my family's home with a baby and now I'm finally moving onto somthing that is mine and my daughters, I dont want him and his hissy fits disturbing my peace!

I guess this isn't even a question but what do u guys think of this

I personally think he's just trying his best to get out of his mother's house (that's where he lives) and use me for my new home!

Report him to the police for harassment and stalking again. And keep reporting, every time he does it.

Cocklodger alery! Cocklodger alert!!!
Never let him inside your home. Not once. All handovers outside the home. He doesn’t set foot inside. Best that he doesn’t know the address. (Don’t even think about giving him a key - he will get it copied and you will be stuck with him and doggy).
As for his relatives, they want rid of him too. They want him to be your responsibility, but he’s not.
You need to stop telling him where you are and what you are doing. Stop folding to his whims.
Make regular handover times and make him stick to them. If he wants to pick up the baby before then, don’t tell him you’re out shopping, just say “No… It’s not your day. You have her tomorrow. See you then. Bye.” Then you set the scene by saying “I have plans with mum. I will be back here at X to pick her up. I wont be picking her up early.”

I do see what everyone is saying. But sometimes just texting him back is easier than my phone buzzing allll bloody day.

200 messages I had the one day, texts, WhatsApps, fb messenger. All because he reallllly wanted to see his daughter, apparently.

He's mentally ill and I honestly wish he would cut my daughter out of his life.

His family are just as deluded aswell.

I've blocked his number many times and his sister (the one who was helping with tye hand overs, so she knew how bad it was) would let him on her phone so he could harras me on there aswell!!

Mute them all, and check in once a day if you want to.
