When it's time to move one and you've given it your best shot. When you feel like the other person just doesn't want to be there anymore, but you love them with all your heart. How do you move on?

Put one foot in front of the other... Take time to take care of yourself. Let yourself be sad. Then go on about your business. It will get better, it just takes time. flowerforyou

Well I think he has already moved on, he doesn't call me or come see me anymore. However, I'm pregnant with his baby and I feel like he deserves a chance to be here. So I just keep hoping and waiting but I know deep down it is over, I just have such a hard time moving on.

In all honesty, if you feel he has moved on, chances are that he more than likely has. And that is sad, cause you are pregnant with his child and (even though I am not a dad) I have seen what being a dad has meant to my friends....and they love it.

I understand you want to hope....I think most of us here do know that feeling. You hope and pray to God that you are just reading too much into it...and that you hope to find out you were silly about thinking he had moves on. And, while there is a slight chance this could happen, I am feeling you are right....he has moved on. He might come back and say he was scared or something, and he probably is. But I also think that he should tell you how he is feeling....and the "I am scared" bit is just a cop out. Sad...but oh so true.

I think you really don't need to torture yourself, but I understand why you would. Then again, I also see that you don't want to torture yourself....yet you feel trapped (so to speak). The best way to move on is to let go of him. How you do it is something you have to figure out. Maybe you just tell him to be honest with you. Maybe he will have to let you go. Or maybe you just close the book yourself by telling him that you know it is over, and so does he....and you will close the book. Hard s*it to do. But....it is the right thing to do. I wish the best with this.flowerforyou

When the other doesn't wanna be there or want to leave. He or she does not deserve our pity, sympathy or love. You just have to learn top let go. Let your fear fade away, face life with more confidence, find new hobby, enjoy your pregnancy, it's gonna be hard but you can do it. You will see everything will be alright!!!!

He knows and he refuses to talk to me. Obviously, contrary to me being perfect for him last month, this month I am not what he wants. I can't make him talk to me.

You can't make him talk to you, but you can make him talk with your attorney....Now there are other issues besides just your relationship with this guy....financial obligations....If you keep the baby, he will also have some responsiblities....I suggest You go out & hire an attorney immediately & see a marriage & family counselor ASAP....hope you have some idea what you've gotten yourself into here bringing a child into a noncommitted relationship....

What you do is do what you need to do for yourself and the baby. You cannot force someone to be a parent to a child you are choosing to bring in the world. Yes, financially he is responsible but if this was an unplanned pregnancy and he is not ready for it and you have chosen to have the baby anyway, you will just need to do for yourself and the baby. File child support on him and then just keep raising the kid yourself. If he comes to you wanting to see the child later, you choose if that is a possibility. I for one would never deny a dad to see his child unless I feared harm to the child but that is me.

Good question and one I'm going through right now. Put one foot in front of the other, take deep breaths and keep telling yourself you are going to be alright -- there is someone out there who deserves all you have to give. In my case -- it's hard to love someone who is always RIGHT and never WRONG; who has no clue about feelings; who never puts anyone ahead of his own selfish needs. If that's what you're going through -- do what I did: drop kick his sorry a** to the curb and pray you don't look back. It's hard but you deserve so much better hun. Happy New Year and Good Luck. smokin flowerforyou

You are in a bad spot emotionally with the child comming and all, and of course you would like some to be there for you and your child. But you are a lot stronger than you realize and I will be praying for you to find the strentgh to go through this.
Start by thinking about your baby and how nice it will be to have someone to love who will love you back. Men will come and go in your life, but that child will love u forever
