Dear Miss Emily:

 My ex-boyfriend and i have been together for 5 ys. We just broke up 2 weeks ago today. I have found out that hes cheated on me a lot longer than i knew. I just found out I'm pregnant. He won't return my calls or texts. I'm angry at him, but love him still, and can't seem to find a way to get over him. He says one thing and does another and wont admit his faults. What d I do?

I hope this pregnancy was by accident (or planned) and not to keep him around, or get him to be faithful. That rarely, if ever, works. But assuming you plan on keeping this baby and not having an abortion, he is the father of this child and he has obligation in terms of child support -- despite there being no law that he has to be an active parent, or a mate to you. If he doesn't have any desire to get counseling, or work at the problems you've had in the last five years, you are in this alone to figure out how you're going to proceed with your life. Cheating is an art-form for some people, and this may be a part of who he is; or simply a symptom of a bad relationship. You're going to have to tell him you're pregnant if you expect him to step up to the plate in some areas of this child's life. Again, it may only be in some form of financial aid. He may not be answering your texts but "I'm pregnant" will probably get his attention. If he questions the paternity, you'd have to get a DNA test. If he's not willing to give you some financial support for this child, the court system is your only route to some hope for success.
