I know someone who just had a baby, weeks old. He is taking care of things financially, and he's there for the mother, but he does not want to be with her. They realized this during the pregnancy. Now he really wants to bond with his daughter, but because he does not want to be with the mother, the family is making that very difficult, and the mother isn't really doing anything about it, except trying to get back with him. He is very frustrated because he actually WANTS to be there, unlike other fathers the world complains about. His friends are saying don't worry, when the daughter gets older she'll decide for herself, but he doesn't want to give up all this time. He actually wants be there, and help take care of her. Has he really given up the right to be there with his baby just because he doesn't want to be with the mother? Shouldn't the baby take precedence over what's going with them? They are very civil with each other by the way. She just wants to be back with him, & he doesnt.
