    This a fwb situation:

    Almost 3 years ago i met this guy. Really didn’t like him. Eventually 3 months into the friendship we messed around. He told me he wasn’t ready for anything serious and i agreed. Wasn’t looking for anything neither. Months went by (I’ll admit i had blinders on during this time) we spent time, got close, met friends and family and children, and boom. The end of last year i get pregnant. He wanted an abortion i wanted to see if i was going to even carry it (history of miscarriage). We fought and after the miscarriage, he walked away (power struggle). Weeks went by we didnt speak (2 to be exact) and we argued and talked here and there and ended up messing around. He was angry but wanted to try to fix our mess. Christmas i had a talk with his teenage daughter, and she told me some information about the pregnancy and the abortion situation (why i said something idk). To avoid getting in trouble, she told her mom and dad i told her everything and he believed her instead of me (his hangups more to it, but for another time). We mutually agree to leave each other alone, but he comes back, also says i can’t see the kids (truly hurts but these are his kids). He starts to come around more, and still says he doesn’t want a relationship. I’m on my idc vibe and we still mess around. Recently i asked him does he see a future with me and he said yes, and i took it for face value, but on Friday (my birthday) i decided to get clarity. He refused to give me anything but keeps saying I’m the only one he’s seeing. When i told him to just be honest and tell me if he doesn’t like me and this is a hook up he gets frustrated and say why does it matter? He looked in my eyes and it seemed like he seen me turn cold that day, and when i left, his smile dropped into a sad face for some reason. He’s been reaching out but right now, I’ve just stooped talking to him altogether. He’s in the process of getting me a car and some other stuff, but I don’t have the time anymore to be dealing with a wishy washy person while I’m trying to better myself.
    There is a burning question and that is if he will ever change his mind and decide to pursue me or if that is a lost cause. Any feedback will be appreciated ( i just turned 34 if that helps)

    Just based on the length of time together I don’t think it’s going anywhere, and why would you want it to when he walked away after your miscarriage?!

    This is such a dysfunctional and toxic situation, I truly question your emotional ability to even make a good decision, for yourself, at this point.

    You need to deal with your co-dependency issues as you are clinging onto him like a life raft. Seriously, Save YOURSELF instead of twisting yourself into a pretzel to get this guy to love you because no man who loves a woman would ever treat her the way this man has treated you!

    This is what a man who loves a woman looks like: I became pregnant with a BF, when we were stationed overseas (in the military). I was rushed to a local hospital when I had some craps, and bleeding only to find out I had miscarried. Do you know what my BF did when he found out from a mutual friend? He had a friend drive him to the hospital where he was by my side, holding my hand, when I woke up from the anesthesia after having a D&C. After this, he even went a step further to change his military orders to get stationed near me, even though he would have to stay overseas for another year. Guess what happened when he was finally stationed near me? Proposed and married me 10 months later.

    The point of this story is to SHOW YOU what love looks, and feels like, from a man who’s in love with a woman. Never ever settle for less or you will never achieve the type of love you know, in our heart of hearts, that you want and deserve. I know you can do better! :o)

    Your story made me so sad amd want to slap you around saying: why dont you value yourself more (and i really hate to use that word) and keep this going. This man doesnt love you as in a true partnership. He made that clear. He didnt want the baby, he doesnt want you to talk to his kids. And heli’s probably a fair bit older than you if he has teenage kids. If you cant do whats right for you than who can? This is all toxic you are describing. Its so sad. While you have the change to actually find a good match instead of getting player by this man

    I knew it was a no go, but i always appreciate other views on things. I do have some hangups I’ve been getting over (loss of my dad and not grieving) but still no excuse.
    I’m in a better headspace and just decided to focus on my child and my studies and get myself ahead. I know my worth and i know i deserve better. I’m just chilling out now

    Its hard to let go of patterns when there is some feeling good in there. But if you are now recognizing you deserve more and for now you can be a better person for yourself and your kid, i call that a win. Living life is hard, but at least garbage is someting you can get rid of when youre ready
