emotional support

So I am 6 months pregnant and I split with the father at about 10 weeks pregnant after a fight. Since then we have been working on our relationship to be not only parents to our baby boy but because we want to try to make it work. I feel alone sometimes because I moved in with my father, I don't have a job and I have a 6 year old to take care of. The father of my child lives 5 hours away and I drive all the way to spend time with him. When I am there he takes care of me and tells me he wants to be together but if I suggest spending time two weekends in a row he won't tell me no but avoids the question.He will call me and ask if I need something but if I tell him I do then again we avoid the needs I have. I am always there for him and makes sure he eats, I cook for him and clean his house. I am not sure what to do.

Yeah I agree that you should let him make the effort and if he doesn't he's not worth your time. Spend that gas money on treating yourself to a spa day for cleaning an unappreciative man's house while 6 months pregnant. That's what I'd do! Lol And then if he asks why you're not coming just avoid the question ;)

I don't see why you have to be the one driving out of your way to go see him. He, himself should make the effort to make it happen. And I do wish yall the best but from my learning experience,  what just doesn't work out, will probably never make it. Not saying everyone,  but the majority it is.
