Thank you for your response Abby.

In my province he would still have to pay me child support. Given that he is willing to help me the first year as he does still want to be in his daughters life I would have to make arrangements for when or if he actually decides to leave after the mat leave is done.

Thank you Sean for your reply.

It does still help to hear these things. I know that since this is so fresh from a few days ago that is why I keep holding on to he might change his mind cause I’m having a hard time To come  to terms with losing him after we had discussed these possibilities before ending up on this situation.

I know he will probably not change his mind about me but I would like him to want to be in his daughters life as we are still 2 very calm adults and agree we should co parent the best we can for our child.

I’m 7 months pregnant and my fiancé swears he is bisexual and not gay so I’m having a hard time letting him go as I love him so much.

But how do I overcome the thought that he might change his mind once our baby is born. Is him saying he still loves me deep down a way to make me feel better to just calm me down as we are planning on living together for the first year in nee baby is born  or is that maybe the slightest chance that something could change.

No matter the orientation do you think once he sees his daughter his mind could change.

I don’t even know how to start this as I still feel in denial due to my world being shattered just 6 days ago.

I have been with my partner for 5 years and within 5 months of being together he had told me he slept with a guy before we started dating which i was okay with as I asked him if he sees himself with a man or a woman for the rest of his life and said he could not see himself being with a man. We then never talked about it again for over 3 years.

Just over a year ago we ended up talking about this adventure again not sure how the subject came up but it did and he gave me all the details and also confirm to me he was bisexual which I accept him as he is it doesn’t change how I love him. I did ask him if he was happy with me and if he thought that one day he would just wake up change his mind and decide no I want a man now and not me. He said no he still could not see himself being with a man that way but that he was happy with me to the most that he could and the little part that was missing well he had options to deal with them (in my mind that was watching gay porn and also me doing accommodations in our sexual life).

Fast forward to this year we finally got pregnant after trying for 6 months and found out in April I was so excited and he looked a bit stress but I assumed it was just a normal reaction for a man. In June he proposed to me and he looked so happy when he did and I had all that I ever wanted in life now. I had my house, cat, dog, the love of my life and a beautiful baby girl on the way.

Well in august he decided to take a trip to another province and when he came back he was a bit distant from me but not enough to cause any alarms in my head cause I have always trusted him and I have never been one to question what he does.

Well I should of I guess cause for the last 2 weeks he was so distant and always on his phone or napping instead of being with me that I started asking for more attention as I’m 7 months pregnant now and need
