Well now i have another problem. When I found out i was pregnant I moved into my boyfriends parents house while he was gone to the army reserves. I found out that he had been cheating on me most of our relationship so I moved in with my sister and pretty much didn't talk to him for 4 months. I started dating this other guy who was incredible. He was so caring and helped me out so much but we recently broke up but are still friends. Throughout our relationship I often thought of my son's father and how much I missed our relationship but I knew I deserved better than him. But now we see quite a bit of each other and we are finally getting along. He still wants to be together but I'm just so confused. I know I still miss him but i keep telling myself I dont need a cheater even though he always says he would never do it again. I've been known to just listen and believe whatever a guy tells me and I'm trying not to do that. I'm just confused on if I should try it again with him. I know it would be better for my son and I would be happy, but I just dont know if I would be being stupid by getting back with a cheater.

Thank you for your last replys. I was really feeling down last night but they made me feel better :-D

I'm going through the exactly same situation as you right now. Pretty weird uh? I'm twenty years old and my son Tyler is seven months. I was living with my boyfriend for almost two years, and I just recently moved back home with my parents. My boyfriend was verbally abusive and he's very controllive. I still love him very much and it hurts not to have him by my side. Recently we had a serious talk and he wants me to move back in with him, but my parents dislike him so much that it makes a poopie diaper seem appealing! :/ I want to move back in with him and I just might. The best advice I can give you since I'm pretty much in the same boat is follow your heart and insticts! Weight the pro's and con's about being in a relationship with him such as:
1) Will he cheat on me again?
2) If he cheats on me again, will I somewhere to go?
3) Do I really love him and see a future with him?
4) Is it a stable enviroment for my child and will your boyfriend be a good influence for the child?
etc. etc
Remember you can think about your happiness as well, but put your childs needs and happiness first. He's growing up and he will learn from you and your boyfriend.

hey there! My advice to you is YOU DESERVE BETTER! My boyfriend denied cheating on me, yet he moved in with his girlfriend the day after we broke up. I would not ever get back with him even though he is my son's father. But if he was cheating on ou throughout most of your realtionship, then he did not respect you then and probably not much has changed. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying your ex is a bad guy or anything, but he probably needs a little more growing up to do.Just take it slow and see where it goes and if you can honestly trust him agian.

Oh my gosh, thats horrible! Your boyfriend seems like a big creep! If you don't mind me asking what did you do about the situation? Thats pretty below the belt to move in with his girlfriend right after you two broke up. My friend is also going through the same situation were she thinks her husband might be cheating on her. Once again if you dont mind me asking what clues was your boyfriend sending to make you suspicious? Thanks

Eeker

I have always believed that people can change and that everyone deserves a second chance. You have a child together and that does mean something, especially if you both still care for each other. Things happen and people grow up. He may have made a mistake, but if he promises that it will never happen again give him a chance to prove it. He may be telling the truth. You are the one who knows him and you know if he is telling the truth or not. take your time and read him carefully. Good luck with evrything.
