We were together for 4 years. First, we lived together for two years, then another two years in different cities. He wanted a child, and we conceived. I moved back home. I spent a month trying to find out if I was pregnant. When I realized I was, I told him. He called his mom to tell her, then called me back and said we were "done." I decided to come back. We had guests. He acted like nothing was wrong. The next day, after the guests left, he said, "Get out. You can handle it yourself. I need to start a new family." I left. He later tried to get back together. I didn't go back. I went through the pregnancy alone. I gave birth. I told him. He met me at the hospital but didn't want to register the child as his. Six months later, I found out he was living with another woman and her child. He doesn't outright refuse our son. He acknowledges him in practice. He visits, he texts. But he doesn't want to legally establish himself as the father. I asked why he won't leave us alone. He says he wants to see his son. I told him to legally establish himself as the father. He said it would have to be through court. So, I went to court. The case has been going on for 11 months. He doesn't show up for hearings. He doesn't show up for DNA tests. He finally shows up for a hearing after 2 months and requests a DNA test in another city. A DNA test was ordered. Now the baby is sick, and we can't travel. What should I do? Should I try to establish him as the father? Why do I even need someone like that? How can I stop this? Or should I see it through?

What's this fatherhood thing for you? You get kicked out the door, so you climb in the window.

How can a woman create a problem out of nowhere? He wanted it, he came, he said it. And you? Were you just lying there when he finished, when he was going back and forth… I don't know if you need someone like that.

Nadezhda Zuevich Because he wouldn't leave me alone. I thought a break would give me peace. And he left. Started a new relationship. But no. He started showing up. Started stalking me. Why fatherhood? Child support. And even then... I don't want anything from someone like that. I just want peace.

Nadezhda Zuevich When a guy constantly gets a well-deserved "no," he'll get tired of it really quickly. And judging by the fact that he didn't want to register the child initially, and still doesn't want to do it voluntarily, he clearly doesn't need any of this.

Suspend what?! The court or this drama? Just stop communicating with the person, that's all. In what way is he the father?! He's a sperm donor, nothing more. Why do you need his official paternity? To get child support? Or so your child has to deal with a "father" who's out of his mind later on?

As a single mother, you should be getting paid. Don't get involved with someone like him, you won't see any alimony. He seems to have bipolar disorder.

Ladies, why are you having kids out of wedlock? 🙈🙈 'I wanted a baby,' yeah, right. First the marriage license, then the maternity ward. That's how it should be. But his 'I want a baby' is like a 5-year-old wanting a dog. Mom ends up cleaning up the mess. Anyone who wants a family gets married and does things the right way. This poor guy doesn't know how to get rid of you, you're clinging to him. You're only holding on in your imagination. Does he visit sometimes? Yeah, just a shred of conscience popping up. You'll achieve... Aliki won't pay anyway. Let him go. He's not holding you.

Fona I'm not the author, but what special benefits are there for single moms? I get 450 rubles a month as a single mom with a dash in my records. I don't qualify for other benefits because my salary is high and my parents' house is registered in my name. Rich! 😂

Nowadays, it's better to set it up.
My friend didn't have one set up, and her child tragically passed away (***). The inheritance went to his official children, 0 rubles for the child... even though in reality, he didn't really raise any of them.
So, think carefully. Life is long, and single mothers don't really get any outstanding benefits.

File a motion to have the DNA testing done in your city, it's inconvenient for you to travel with the baby. By the next hearing, he'll have recovered. And honestly, why do you even need him? He wanted a child, said 'let's break up,' and now this? You left, you came back. He kicked you around a bit, and now he shows up for some reason. Tell him to get lost and ban him from seeing the child. He's nobody to him, just stressing him out.

Elena And before that, when you decided to have a baby, what were you thinking?

Elena I was sure I wouldn't get pregnant because we hadn't conceived for 4 years. And then he suddenly wanted to. Anyway. To explain. He wanted to have his cake and eat it too. He thought he'd start a family there, as he put it, 'with a so-so option,' but would still visit me, thinking, 'she's the child, after all.' I wouldn't go anywhere. Now I'm thinking, damn, I wanted to forget, but with this fatherhood thing... 🤣 I've really caused myself a headache.

oksana It's not that simple… she went to lawyers, and the grandmother (the deceased's mother) needs to give consent for the DNA testing (they didn't take DNA from everyone when he passed). Basically, if his parents don't help establish paternity, they told her she has little chance.
Honestly, this is wild to me. I also thought she'd establish it and everything would be fine, especially since she has a child with a disability. But purely out of conscience, as soon as it came to courts and money, his parents did everything to make her back down, and she gave up and backed down…

oksana Ugh, my ex... he's doing everything he can to make me give up. First, it was only through court, he didn't want to do it willingly. Now he's doing everything to sabotage the court date. An examination in another city. Is he trying to make me back down? 😁

oksana Nowadays, they seem to take DNA samples from all soldiers to make identification easier if something happens. And you can insist on exhumation as a last resort. But here, of course, it's better to have some additional evidence, like witnesses or photos together with the child (from the hospital discharge, for example), saved messages where the man acknowledges/doesn't deny paternity.

You can't know for sure right now what will be worse for the child: a blank space or having such a "father" on the birth certificate.
But you definitely know that he is unreliable, fickle, a mama's boy, etc., etc. What can he offer? It's better to read stories from women whose children have similar fathers. How they promise their children things and don't deliver, how they nag about alimony, how they reduce it. Ask yourself: what qualities does he have, what would you want him to teach the child? What's the point of them being together? He said he'd acknowledge paternity through court (this already shows he doesn't care about the child), but he hasn't shown up in a year! His words are one thing – his actions are the complete opposite. For some reason, he's afraid to speak his mind, but his actions scream everything for him.
You've been told here about moving abroad and other things.
I think it would be best for you to move to another city and not give him your contact information. And don't give in to his false promises and words.

You asked him why he won't leave you alone. But really, the question is for you – why aren't *you* leaving *him* alone? You could have told him off, blocked him, and forgotten him like a bad dream a thousand times over… there's no one to talk to there at all.

Men can be so clueless, but in your situation, if he didn't want to acknowledge paternity, then he can just go away. It's better to leave it blank, you'll receive benefits as a single mother, and you might even qualify for low-income assistance.
