You don't know this guy. If you want the baby then have the baby but don't expect him to stick around for the responsibilities that come with a family.
You can put him on child support if you need to but truth be told even putting him on child support will not make him want to be a father/parent the baby.
Your emotional, your nesting, your hoping, I get it but you made a brutal mistake by allowing yourself to get pregnant by a guy you hardly know so now you have to take full responsibility for your actions.
Time to be a WOMAN and woman up, you got pregnant, you most likely will parent this child alone, you need to get ready, get as prepared as you can.
Leave him alone, worry about you and your child, the rest is a bunch of drama and bullshit you don't need to send yourself through, your baby doesn't need to feel this kind of stress from you.
Have you thought about other options? Adoption? Is he willing to forgo his parental rights? Do you want to keep the baby? If you keep the baby, how will you support the baby? Do you have support? This is what you need to be worried about MORE.

100% . Absolutely.
You're going to be stressed anyway. But, you need to stop worrying about what he's going to do. You can't control him. You can't control how he thinks or feels about the situation. You can only control yourself and what you do. So focus on you. There is peace to be found in that. Let him do whatever the fuck he's gonna do. If he wants to be a little toddler about things and run away, let him run. You're better off without him if that's how he's gonna be.
And, a word to the wise. If you have the baby, make sure your name is the only one on the birth certificate. That way you have sole custody and he can't pull any power moves against you later.click to expand

There are consequences for what is done. Sometimes harsh. That said, this is on him just as much as its on you. I understand the "give him time" sentiment but hey, this is his situation too. My thing is dont get into such a situation if you dont want the consequences. So since he did, thats on him. Caution ftw.

Dayum..Dayum..Dayum (in my Florida Evans voice). Why in this day and age is getting pregnant an accident???? and especially if you hardly know this person. Why are you having unprotected sex anyway? So basically you got pregnant on purpose to hold on to this azzwipe? Really? Really?. Girl, gather your faculties and keep it moving. You made this bed, so now you have to lie in it. Just be more responsible in taking care of this innocent baby. And remember this... the next time you get with a guy you hardly know, there's other things that you can catch that's a whole lot worse than this baby, so please use protection. I'm Sorry, that's the only positive advice I can offer you at this time.click to expand

Wait wait wait wait.
You were willing to get an abortion because it meant he would stay with you?
SERIOUSLY?
The dude's a total tool, showing insane immaturity, and the only thing keeping him around is that he knocked you up. If there was no baby, this would have happened eventually. Then where would you be? Here, crying about some immature asshat who doesn't respect you.
Why are you trying to make it up to him? Get some self respect, chica. You deserve better. And if you're keeping this kid, you owe it to that kid to make a better choice for both of you. Women who keep themselves in a shitty relationship that will clearly have negative consequences on the kid are insanely selfish and are pieces of shit, tbh. That child comes first, not your vajayjay inklings. It's something to think about if that kid is still in play here.
That aside, the huge question is WHY are you so hell bent on keeping a guy around who cheated and then chose her over you??
