venting need advice.

I'm 33 weeks pregnant. My boyfriend and I have been fighting on and off for the last half of my pregnancy. He doesn't treat me like his girlfriend, we haven't had sex in months, and the only time he even looks at me in a special way is when he is drunk. But the last time he drank I dumped him because of how he's been treating me. He ended up apologizing and saying he'd pay more attention to me. Then my baby shower was coming up and he scheduled a man trip to Memphis, all I asked was that he talked to me (at least texted) and kept me updated with what's going on, and call me before he went to bed. His brother ended up posting on Facebook about all the b****** they were meeting. He hasent texted me once, and has been gone for two days. Didn't even call to tell me goodnight. Or ask how my baby shower went. What do I do?

I hate when they act more like animals than men... I agree with the other ladies here, you should break up with him and stick to it... I've had 2 children with guys like this and I remember feeling attached and that it was important to stay with the father of my baby, then I realized that they weren't worth the trouble and after a while I didn't care about the guy, I only cared about my children and I am still happy to be rid of those pos pigs:)

You need to follow through. If he realizes you're serious, who knows, he might come crawling back and actually change. But you need to kick him to the curb first and make him regret his actions. And if he doesn't change, don't give in

You clearly aren't happy with him. Only u cn tell if he's sincere on his apologies or not. What made me mad is the going to meet the ******* part. Ur here having his baby going through so much and he's not even there to support u? I would ignore him and not pay attention to him. And when he comes to you kick him in the backside and throw him out. You clearly deserve better honey!

It's ok to not be with the father of your child. I broke up with my boyfriend about 6 or 7 months into my pregnancy because we fought all the time since I had moved back home with my mom and away from him. He clearly wasn't and still isn't ready to take responsibility as I recently found out he's still drinking heavily, doing drugs, and not working as much as he should. When it comes down to it, it's what's best for the little muffin and whether or not you'd want him or her to be exposed to that.

Is that really the kinda father figure you want for your child? I'd kick his *** out! You and your baby deserve so much better!

I'd say kick him to the curb.  He's obviously not grown up enough to be a father or with you .. he shouldn't be taking a trip the weekend of your baby shower anyways.
