Hi everyone.
I'm facing a dilemma.
I fell in love with my best friend during my 4th month of pregnancy.
The weirdest part is that he says he has feelings for me too.
I'm pregnant with my current ex, with whom I've been together for years.
Due to the situation, I was under a lot of stress and moved in with my mom.
Now I'm 30 weeks along, and my ex keeps saying I'm just hormonal and that I'll come back to him after the birth.
Does anyone have experience or tips?

    Hey,
    if I understand correctly, you're 30 weeks now?
    Wow, I'd say, I think, wait and see after the birth. Both you and your best friend could react strongly to it.
    This is already a very emotional and hormone-driven time in your life anyway. I'd wait a bit, but who am I... Everyone should do what feels best for them.
    Good luck!

    @Rowan,
    That doesn't seem easy. I can only say follow your heart..
    I can't really give you advice because I've never experienced anything like that myself..
    What do you want and what do you find important in life..
    Ask yourself the questions and the answer will come.

    Kind regards, Ju and good luck....

    Yeah, that's right, I'm over 30 weeks.
    I'll definitely wait until after my delivery, but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this.
    My parents support me, and all my friends do too. They think my ex, the father of my baby, is just a.... He doesn't work and is obsessed with/addicted to video games.

    @Rowan,
    You should choose for yourself in the first place.. You'll see what comes your way then.
    Your baby is the most important thing right now and take your time.. Let yourself relax, indeed such a weird game/crazy what do you mean by it, not so much but yeah I wouldn't want my partner to act like that, I definitely wouldn't put up with that.

    I work and I think he should do that too nowadays every cent is hard-earned life is very expensive.

    Rowan lots of wisdom and nice you're also a November mama..
    Let me know how you're doing...

    Kind regards Ju and strength

    Ju, thanks! You're saying what I'm actually thinking ;-)
    Tineke, I even think there were things in the relationship that weren't right, but now it's become very clear because of a little one coming along :-)

    @Rowan,
    I just feel with you and, by the way, with every pregnant woman since we work so hard, almost 24 hours a day next to our own jobs, so we can't afford any nonsense, right.

    Love and stay strong Ju

    Yes, Ju, you're right!!!
    Unfortunately, I've already been home for almost 2 months because the little one kicked so hard that I ended up with inflamed/bruised kidneys and had to stay in the hospital for a week.
    On the 28th, I'll find out if I can go back to work.
    Thanks again, Ju!!!

    @Rowan,
    You're welcome and enjoy the day (carpe diem)

    Love, Ju
