Okay, after reading over your sitch, I stick by my earlier theory. This is a man who is confused. My theory about why he left? You were trying to get pregnant, he suddenly thought about what that would mean for the rest of his life - giving up hanging with the guys for diaper duty and trading in the hot rod for a stroller. Someone (likely at school) was influencing him in the life of "fun and party". That's the direction he's considering. Just a theory though, only he can tell you for sure and it's going to be a while.

Is he keeping on top of punctuality to doctor's appointments for baby or do you have to pursue him? If it's the latter, it's probably not worth it. Most men don't feel like a father until you've given birth. They don't feel the same changes you feel, much less the movements. I would make him work to be involved.

As for the papers... eh, a divorce typically takes a year to come to a hearing. I mean, it could be sooner and if he has a lawyer, by all means get one. But there's still the chance that he could drop it. Or you could always get remarried. Maybe not the ideal, but it's always an option.
