But if you've slipped back into responding to him on a whim, or melting when he calls you pet names, something tells me you're not done.
Seems to me, though, maybe you're confusing DBing with trying to portray extreme independence.
Relax a little, sister.
There are no genuine, fool-proof "strategies" here. I can't say I've been in your exact shoes. But I've been doggone close. For now, accept his offers of help. But try not to reach to him for comfort ... or complain to him about how hard this has been on you (even though it most certainly HAS ... and you certainly have EVERY reason to complain). Still, try not to make out like you're a martyr OR a SuperWoman. (I, for one, think you ARE SuperWoman.) He will SEE your struggles and pain ... and, eventually, your strength ... without you *telling* him, especially in the days (weeks?) ahead. Believe me. Whether or not he truly CARES? I don't know.
I don't know if your H is a quality person. I have doubts, right alongside you.
But I think YOU are a quality person. I think you have a beautiful future ahead of you, despite your well-earned fears and insecurities right now.
And with that being said, I'd say: let your H - the father of your unborn daughter - help YOU in the coming days/weeks. TRY to keep your expectations low (or, if possible, non-existent).
But know you ARE a SuperWoman to all who know you ... even those of us who haven't met you.
You will know your OWN strength soon enough. You're a superstar. Maybe you just don't know it yet.
