Planned Pregnancy with Best Friend from blissful event to complete confusion

Hello all,
After trying to conceive with my best friend of ten plus years since September 2021, we were successful in January 2022. This is my first pregnancy. Initially, the excitement was mutual we discussed baby names, agreed that co-parenting was the best option, researched labor and delivery techniques, and even started nursery concepts. All that was ideal, I was enjoying a happy and healthy planned pregnancy. Here is the downer. In week 14, NIPT revealed we were expecting a girl in October. Shortly after, he goes completely off the grid. No responses to texts or calls and the daily visits stop. Fast forward to mothers day out of the blue he sends a happy mothers day text. I am at a loss of words questioning if the decade long friendship was ever real and if my baby girl will grow up without father. I am overreacting? Are these feelings justified? Please share your opinions fellow October Moms-to-be.

Re: Planned Pregnancy with Best Friend from blissful event to complete confusion
Also, since I'm sure I'm not alone in wondering, but you are not in a relationship past friendship? It doesn't really matter, but I have to admit that I am a little confused about just how to think about you. I hope that's okay to ask!
If anything, I would consult a lawyer. This sounds equally like a legally difficult situation as it does an emotionally and logistically difficult one.
