Hi, I'm 34 years old and 8 weeks pregnant with my first baby. My ex boyfriend is the father and we have always remained good friends. He is 37 yrs old and this will be his first baby as well. We basically would have sex from time to time and told each other that if we're both single and have no kids in a couple of years then we'd have one together. Now that it's happening it's not at all going the way I thought. I definitely don't recommend this for any older, single woman to do with their friend. I know he'll be a good father but my heart hurts because he constantly wants to remind me that he is still single and we never agreed to get married. He's not involved with anyone else nor does want to. He says he doesn't know what the future holds and we may or may not be together as a 'family'.This is true, I just hurt inside that he may not want to marry me. I guess I'm just hoping he'll have a change a heart once reality hits. He is a good man and he knows I'm a good woman. I'm hoping he's just scared and doesn't like the feeling of pressure to get married and hoping his mentality right now is temporary. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated; especially since I haven't told any family or co-workers yet and don't know anyone who has been in a similar situation....plus I don't know how to explain to them. thanku!
