Can a man and a woman have a child together without ever being in a relationship?

Question

The child was unplanned due to irresponsibility and being intimate a few times. They were never intimate after her getting pregnant. They now very rarely speak (communication is done through child's grandmother) and visitation was done separately after child was born. He provides for his child and spends as much quality time as he can with her. Child just turned 4. Is it possible that he could be lying about not being in a relationship with her? Keep in mind that I have been with this man for 8yrs. split once for 3yrs. I was in another serious relationship. I know it happens but I'm not sure if two people can have a child together and not have feelings for each other like he says. Maybe it's my gullibility. He has stated countless times that he was clear and concise with her since it was a mistake and that they were never in a relationship. What do you think?

Answer 1

yes it is possible just because they had sex does not mean they like each other --- he is being responsible --- dont worry about it --- best wishes

Answer 2

Honey, sex doesn't need love.
It only needs about 5 minutes
and availability. The past
doesn't really matter (except
for his responsibility to the
child). What matters now is
the relationship you and he
have and your own future
together. Don't ask for
problems by constantly re-
hashing the past.
