Marie~ You sound like such a good person, and you're right. You deserve the best. Someone who will be honest with you and put you #1.
You will find someone like that and have a baby all in God's time.
Thanks for keeping us posted. We really do care about you and I will continue to pray for you.
Just a little info on myself here...
My ex and me broke up after being in a relationship for 8 yrs. DD was 4 mos old. I made the decision to leave him. He abused me, etc (won't go into all the gory details). I made the decision to leave my ex. I didn't want to raise her in that type of environment. I couldn't stand him. We went to court over custody, etc. Anyways, to make a long story short, I never tried to keep DD away from her daddy. I very easily could have gotten a restraining order against him for the both of us, but he was a good daddy to DD and I wouldn't interfere with their relationship.
When DD was 2 yrs, he got his driver license taken away for a year and I did the driving so DD and her daddy could have that relationship. My parents and everyone thought I was crazy for doing that. They all wanted me to make it difficult for him to see DD, but I couldn't do that. The drive to his house was 2 hrs (one way), then I would come back and do this two weekends a month. Believe me it wasn't fun. Eventually he saw that even though him and I didn't always get along or agree on everything, I did want what was in DD best interest and that was for her to have her daddy in her life.
I know this doesn't compare to your story, but what I'm getting at is...
When DD was 3 yrs, her daddy (my ex) passed away in May of 2005.
Now, I am so thankful that I went the extra mile for them both. Even though I wasn't IN LOVE with him anymore, I still loved him as a person,
and now I can think back about him with a smile and tears. I know in my heart that I did the right thing.
So.. I'm just letting you know that I really admire you for not getting in the way of their relationship IF you are PG.
Thanks for letting me share my story. Now I have tears running down my face. No matter how much of a jerk he was to me at times I do miss him and I can say that I did the right thing and that I can feel good about.
I will never tell my DD about the bad in our relationship. All she needs to know is her daddy was good to her for those short 3 yrs.
Today I have the best DH in this world. He is so good to me and DD. I believe God lets things happen for a reason. I believe this was meant to be.
Hang in there and I'm praying for you.
