My BD and I are still together, but he made it abundely clear that he is resentful that I got pregnant as he has enough.  I am uncertain about our future although I am hopeful.  Cannot help that as I still love him.  Point is, do you agree that if it goes south, that at least he should be there for our daughter? I mean my folks got divorced when I was 10, but I always had a great relationship and still do with my dad.  One thing a bad break-up should not affect is the relationship both parents have with the child they created, right?

    I don't think you should force him to be in your daughter's life if he doesn't want to be.  But if he does want to be I would definately support it.    I would just wait and let him take the lead on how he wants things to be with the baby.

    I agree with PP that you cannot force him to have a relationship with his daughter, but at the very least the court will hold him responsible for financial support.  

     

    One thing that wasn't clear from your post -  "he made it abundely clear that he is resentful that I got pregnant as he has enough."  Enough what?

    Re Dimake he has four daughters already.  We see three of them (full sisters) every other weekend.  His last child from another mother then those girls doesn't let him see her.  She told him it was us as a family or you will never see your daughter.  I thought that would make him glad to have another chance with our child coming along.  He still feels that the three that he sees now are enough to handle and that mine will just be a burden on him.  He will probably come around to wanting to be a part of her life.  It is just a scary thought that I might not have any help in raising her being a first time mother.  I would never force him to participate (how could you literaly do that?) I would not even bother with child support as he is paying enough for the three girls already.
