I had been on four dates with a great guy & he went out of town for work for a week. My ex-bf, who had always been persistent about getting back together, kept calling/texting me one night wanting to come over to talk. After repeatedly telling him no, I gave in & let him come over. We started drinking & ended up having sex. The new guy came back to town & we continued going out. I liked him a lot & let him meet my mom,dad,sister,aunt, uncle, & cousin. They all liked him so much & never liked the ex-bf that much. I told the new guy I loved him so much & never wanted to be with anyone else. He said it back to me & we continued telling each other we loved each other for the next few weeks. Then my period was late & I'm now pregnant by my ex-bf. The new guy & I hadn't been sexual at the time that corresponds with how far along I am.
The ex-bf & I always would get in stupid arguments that would lead to us breaking up & usually alcohol was involved. He's in the Navy & will be out to sea when the baby is born. He's a good guy & wants to be with me but he's not as good a guy as the new boyfriend was. I stopped things cold turkey with the new guy when I found out I was pregnant & told him I just didn't have feelings for him which was a lie but I was ashamed to tell the truth. When he came over a couple weeks later to get his things I told him the truth. He was hurt but surprisingly said he still wanted to be with me & would treat the baby as if it was his own.
My parents weren't supportive at all in the beginning when I told them but have come around some lately. They still do not like the ex-bf & are mad at me for screwing things up with the new guy. I know I will have a bond with my ex because of our baby for the rest of my life so I'm wondering should I try to make the relationship work with the baby's father, get back with the new guy, or just concentrate on myself right now until I have the baby?
