My childs father left me when I was 2 months pregnant. We had only been dating for 4 months at that point and it wasnt the best relationship…I was his rebound. Anyways, now that our daughter is actually born, he comes over every night after work to see her and help take care of her. We get along really well as friends and we flirt too. Our relationship is very different now from when we dated before…we are sorta becoming best friends. Its been months since he said he didn’t want a relationship but I am really scared to ask him how he feels now b/c I was already rejected once. Any ideas of icebreakers on how to deal with this? I was thinking of saying something like “Are you really comfortable with our daughter having a step-father as a role model instead of you? You are going to regret someday not even trying to have her parents together for her.”

What do you think?
