Q: Should I forgive him?

So my baby's daddy called me tonight, wanting to apologize. he was so sweet about it, and admitted that he was being a d*** about it. He wanted to know if I'd forgive him, and I said "I'm having your baby, I can't hold a grudge or anything against you" And then he asked when i go in to hear the heartbeat and stuff, and I told him May 20th, and he asked if he could go. I was like are you just saying that to make it up to me or are you actually interested in being there, he said i want to be there, I want to hear it. So I said he could go. But his phone was dying so he said he'd call me tomorrow, and so I said ok, you do that. What do you girls think? Should I forgive him?

That's your decision to make, we can't make it for you. Even if you don't reconcile with him, you should let him be a part of his child's life. Every child needs a mother and a father in their lives.

I think the best thing for this child is their parents acting cordially to each other.
You all don't have to be dating to be friendly. Both of you deserve to be apart of this child's life. It would be wrong to keep him away if he is wanting to be there.

I think you should give him a chance, especially for the baby's sake. You might want to stay on your guard for a while so you don't get hurt again. Be open and honest about what you want your relationship to be.

I'm working on forgiving him, he caused me a lot of stress and anguish in the past couple weeks.

Well don't cause yourself to "forgive" right now. Just give him a chance....the forgiving part will come later and more naturally. One day after he's been around for a while and proving that he's a good guy, you'll think of it all of a sudden....that everything is ok with what happened in the past and that everything is ok now: and that's where the forgiveness will come to you.

I agree. You don't have to forgive him right away. Just be cordial for the baby.
