I Never Thought Life Could Be This Hard

By: Krista Weaver (View Profile)

I never knew my life could be this hard. I have been dating the same guy I am with for a little over a year now. We were fine in the beginning of our relationship. We were happy, living together because my parents kicked me out. We were seeing each other for 3 months before he even asked me to be his girlfriend. One night I went to hang out with his cousin and we ended up getting too drunk so we stayed at her friends house. I ended up sleeping with a guy that was there. My boyfriend didn’t find out until 4 months later after we fell in love and were an actual couple.

He was mad, but he never got over it and doesn’t trust me to this day. My reasoning is that he shouldn’t be mad because we weren’t going out and just because I was living with him didn’t mean that we were exclusive. So he holds this grudge to this day. A couple weeks later, after he found out I had slept with that guy, we started fighting more and more and he started calling me derogatory names.

The first time he called me those names, I flipped out and grabbed his balls and squeezed them so hard he fell to the floor. But I guess he didn’t learn his lesson because he kept on calling me those names until this day. Then I went to Florida in December on vacation with my family and he was so nice to me and told me he wanted to marry me and he wanted to have a baby. Now a year later since we first got together I am pregnant. He still doesn’t trust me and thinks that it is not his baby. 

I have never slept with anyone else besides him since that night with that guy. I can see how he doesn’t trust me, but to not trust me when I tell him that it IS his baby is just too much. So to prove it to him I told him I would get a paternity test. So now I am due in January. We have been fighting so much lately because of my hormones and stuff and he thinks I am a psycho and I am just using being pregnant as an excuse. He has never laid a hand on me but he continues with these words that hurt me so much because I know that it’s not true. I don’t know what to do and he tries to kick me out of the house every time we get into a fight and I love him to death but I don’t know what if can do to prove to him that he can trust me.

Hi Krista: You can't change anyone...only yourself. Life can be hard and sometimes we don't know the answers. Do what is right for you and your baby. If he can't get over it...that's his choice. Perhaps you need to accept it and move on...with your baby. That's what I would do...and have done a few times...You'll find the inner strength you need and answers will come as you go. Many of us make poor choices during our life time. Be the best mom you can be...be responsible for yourself and your baby and take the next step...don't stay in a relationship that isn't good for you, and most likely won't be for your baby. It will just make your life harder than it is now. Take care.

Wow, I totally disagree with the other poster. If you want this child: have it. Cherish it. Give it all the love this man can't receive from you. A "father" is not a sperm donor; a father is someone capable of opening his heart and being a role model. I think you've chosen poorly, but that doesn't mean your child has to suffer. Be the best mom you can be and one day, you just might find someone worthy of being this little one's Dad.

It is a little hard to tell, so you were going out for 3 months, while living together but you weren't going out? Then, you slept with someone else, didn't tell him and then after you starting calling yourself boyfriend and girlfriend he found out? Anyway, to me the larger issue is that you haven't been together long enough to have children, you don't sound old or responsible enough to have a child if you will excuse me for saying so. You cheated on the man you want to be the father of your child, and he is going to punish you the rest of your life for it. That is the bottom line. You cheated, he does not trust you and frankly why should he? Your excuse is the worst one unless you are now in AA and have sobriety -0- otherwise what is the point? You might get drunk again and then who knows.... Have an abortion, leave the boyfriend and start over. This time, don't cheat and then expect to be treated with respect.
