When baby daddy's acting up.

Hello, I'm 33 weeks 3 days today with a baby girl. My baby's daddy and I had only been dating for 2 months when I became pregnant. I moved back to my parents place when I found out I was pregnant because I had to quit work (I was a stripper) .. The baby daddy stayed in his city and when I was 7 weeks pregnant he told me he wanted nothing to do with me and the baby - i accepted that and just carried on planning my next move, while living in my mothers house.. Then when I was 13 weeks along, HE contacted me again begging for me back and saying he made a huge mistake by letting me go.. So he moved to my town and we got a place together.. I bought all the furnishings and a few things for baby. As the weeks went by he got more disrespectful to me and he wouldn't even buy groceries unless I had to beg him! He was working full time, doing extra hours too yet he hasn't taken me on a single date, he's bought nothing but a bottle of shower gel for the baby! Lol! All baby's things like basinette, clothing ect have been given to us by family and friends. I feel confused as to why he even came to live with me if he is so disinterested in my pregnancy and me. All I do is stay home and clean up after him and our house looks like we've still just moved in. When I say I'm looking on leaving and getting my own place he just gets rude and nasty, making regular comments on "if a guy decides he doesn't want a baby a woman should get an abortion or not be entitled to child support" - who says that?! What planet is he living on.. But contradicting himself - he insists on coming to all my midwife visits and antenatal classes, and he seems really happy during them.. What the hell.. Anyone else know what I should do? I am currently viewing places to move into.

This weekend I'm doing house sitting for my parents while they're away, baby daddy is at our place - I was having terrible Back ache nausea and braxton hicks so I texted him - no reply.. I eventually called  him 3 hours later when I felt off again and all he said was he needs to go to sleep. He hasn't even got mine or his hospital bag ready and packed. God forbid I go into preterm labour relying on him.

I've had to learn the hard way when it comes to a man! You have to first learn how to talk to them so they'll know and understand that you mean business when you say something. I'm not going to tell you to stay and I'm not going to tell you to leave but your the one carrying that baby...so with that being said the ball is in court! Sit him down let him know what it is and how you feel and something has to change or.........during the conversation it's going to be hard if he says something you dont want to hear trust I KNOW but don't get LOUD OR UPSET, it will only make things worst.
