My baby daddy told me he wants to be with me so we can raise our child together but he also told me that he doesnt love me anymore..

He doesnt wanna do a custody plan or co parenting, he basically j wants us to be a family but doesnt love me romantically. I feel split about the whole situation bc I dont wanna be a single mom nd I dont want my son to grow up without his father but at the same time I wish how I felt about him was reciprocated and I feel like Im neglecting a lot of my personal needs/wants by staying with him. Im in love with him but he just doesnt feel the same way anymore. Advice guys? Has anyone ever been in a similar situation?

I'm so sorry you are having to go through this mama. I know it hurts right now but one day when your son is older he is going to see your relationship and the lack of love. Do you want him to think that is normal? You deserve someone who loves you back and your son should know what a happy loving relationship looks like

Don’t waist your time when you could have someone love you and your child and have a father figure for him as well

Sounds like he just wants to waste everybody's time, tbh.

One thing to appreciate here is his honesty even though it hurts. Now you’re left with 2 choices continue a domestic relationship or co parent. Him saying that he doesn’t want to do that is kind of crazy to me and selfish. You guys can have Ana amazing relationship and family unit without being together. No need to fake it that’ll just prevent you from finding a man that actually wants to love you..

I’m sorry … that’s tough and it hurts …. Family love isn’t romantic love … maybe you can find a way to have both.

Being a single parent is not the end of the world. As long as you all can come to a coparenting agreement your son will have his father in his life. You deserve to be with someone who loves you unconditionally and out loud, not someone whose fishing after an image. Leave him. You’ll not only find someone better but someone who’s going to be willing to love your child as their own as well. It’s okay to still love him but you have to love yourself more .

But if it takes you baring his child to dismiss you like that … let someone else have that trash

I’m sorry for how that must have felt to hear :( I agree that you deserve to have someone who loves you romantically as well, you shouldn’t have to settle for anything

The most important ingredient to a child is love. And if he cannot give you that then that maybe noticed by the child. They deserve to see their mother being loved correctly and you also deserve that too. Being a single mum can be hard but it is also so rewarding. We have hidden strengths that we didn’t know were there.
You owe yourself love and it’s better to accept it now before it potentially confuses the child down the line xxx
