dad issues

My baby daddy and I were together for 8 months and now he's leaving for the summer. He knows about the baby but said he can't deal with this. But then when we are together he says that my baby needs a dad and that its only right he's involved,and that he wants to be involved so I think he wants to be involved when he comes back this summer. But he's ashamed to talk to me on public or be seen with me ( we live in dorms). And he doesn't even want me to tell people hes the dad. I don't like the way he makes me feel, used. And I don't want that type of relationship for myself or for my baby.

Is it right to tell him to stay away from me and my baby?

A man should be proud of the women who is carrying his baby, yes it may not be in the situation he would like but it happened and he needs to step up and be a man. Hes already in and out of the Childs life who says he wont be like that when the baby is here.

Hmmm This is certainly tough however u should never keep a man from their child if they want to be involved. Maybe he is afraid. Maybe he liked u bt it wasn't that serious for him & then bam u get pregnant. I kno it sounds bad bt it's life & it happens. 8 mnts is hardly time enough to know someone well & to have a child with. Let him go & only hold him accountable for ur child once he/she is born. If he gets his act together, great. If not go for child support & move on. Dnt let him take u up & down thru the foolishness.

I dont think its wrong at all. Tell him your child also needs to be in a healthy environment and that includes a healthy relationship between mother and father. Doesnt sound like a healthy relationship in my opinion so do whats best for you and your child.
