BD has blocked all lines of communication

39+5 days pregnant and the baby’s father has blocked me everywhere, even on phone. He has abandoned the pregnancy twice, written awful messages including narrative changing, false accusations and name calling, so naturally he is not my favourite person, however I did want to inform him once his child is born. His enabling family has also blocked me.

I have been respectful and kind throughout this abandonment but set clear boundaries around consistency and emotional safety for obvious reasons.

For me and my moral and values, I want let him know of his child’s arrival. I want to be able to look my child in the eye years from now and say that I did everything I could, I did myself proud and him blocking me everywhere has taken that away from me.

In this instance, would you
• Leave it alone
• Send a letter
• Anything else?

Leave it alone. My BD played no part in my pregnancy, didn’t know when our son was born and when he found out didn’t ask me if I needed help with anything or how we were doing. If he wants to reach out, he will. Remember how he has treated you throughout all this. Do you want your child around that? Now if you’re going for child support different story but just to chat, leave it alone. I opened the door twice and my BD still doesn’t acknowledge that our son is here and wants to talk about everything else but what the conversation needs to be. Not doing it again until I know there is a change.

First I'm so sorry you're dealing with this, especially while pregnant.

Personally I would leave it alone. Everyone seems to not want to be involved, so you have done everything you can do.

Im so sorry. I learned the hard way we can’t control others.. it’s your life to make any decision you want but I suggest you leave him in the dust where he wants to be left at.

False accusations and narratives sounds like my ex and their family. People like that usually don’t change their behaviors over time. It doesn’t change. It’s been 6 years later and there’s a 3rd pending court date. Only difference is, they’re in my daughter’s life trying to fight to take custody away from me because they feel they should raise her.

So based off my experiences. He might come back around or the family would. Make sure you screenshot and save everything in a file of everything he says and does to you just in case you need proof for anything.

For some reason, dads these days disappear and then come back with a lawyer to be in the picture and you just never know how it’ll go … best of luck to you. Just protect yourself emotionally and your baby. Be with people who actually support you

Is this fucked or normal

Everything is such an exchange in my relationship. I’m gonna skip a bunch of shit. He thinks that if he makes an effort to take OUR son off my hands for a moment then I should have sex/be intimate whenever he feels like it. I’m with our toddler day in day out I don’t get a break, he comes with me to ALL my appointments … to the gym, everywhere. He NEVER has him because it’s my job to raise his son 🥴

Today I’m exhausted, sore & want to relax and he tells me I always reject him and we never have sex. It’s been 48 fucking hours since we had sex.

So he tried to guilt trip me into giving him a handjob and I said no. Then we argued about who does what and when and I was just like no. I cannot do this shit with a 40 year old man. I’m on the lounge now because wtf is wrong with him.

He keeps threatening to break up with me because I don’t give him intimacy whenever he wants which is crazy cause fuck you.

No wonder I hate men.

A little revenge

So I been going through a lot, found out my partner was cheating on me, got pregnant, got in a car accident and after a few weeks we got pregnant again, I shouldnt have taken him back bc he was still with the other girl. I was nice to tell the girl he was playing with both of us when I found out. Anyways she didn’t care. He didn’t want me to tell his parents so he try to harm me and the baby two nights in arrow before telling his parents, we talked after a whole misunderstanding since his family kick me out. I did post ànd expose him on social media which made them more angry, have it time ànd in two weeks he come back but just lying and bc I wanted my baby to grow with his dad I took him in but he was lying he was still with the other girl while telling me he wanted our little family and stuff. I ended up finding out and went to the girl again asking her the truth and he had been lying to her as well ànd rejecting our baby. Long story short I got so upset bc there is more, so I called and reported him to his work for stealing goods, and buddy punching manipulating his work time, as well as I reported the girl’s parents to immigration since they use fake papers to work. I know it’s bad 😭I should let karma or God take care of it but I can’t with all the pain 🥺I was being nice to both of them how could they? How can I turn this type of person that I’m not.

When you randomly run into naked pictures of women selling sexual stuff ,how do you feel immediately?

Obviously to each their own ,I’m just curious what women think obviously we all mind our business.
We know men pretend to hate publicly but privately is different story.
