Get a DNA test done, you may be the father. It isn't easy bringing up kids on your own, i know i have done it, but it is very rewarding and isn't impossible. I think once she sees that you are there to help, as a friend, then she will let you into her and the baby's world but don't push. Her emotions will be all over the place thanks to hormones.I wish you well and hope the outcome goes well.
Take care

I respect your committment, your love and devotion to her and this baby. While you don't say why you both separated, I think you may have no choice. You need to accept the decision that perhaps she doesn't want what you want. We need to be realistic about this. At minimum, you need a woman who wants to be your wife and wants to share her life with you. We marry someone for mutual happiness and reciprocated love. It doesn't sound like she wants what you want. Or she'd be by your side. Is it possible she has re-connected with the 'friend' that she says is the father of the child? I would suggest to you, however to get some DNA genetic testing done. It's important for that child to eventually know who it's biological Father is. If this child is yours, then you have rights, as the natural father. And you also have obligations to ensuring this child has the best life and future ahead of it. Financially and emotionally. I am sorry for your pain, dear...there is nothing I can say to comfort you through this loss. What I do suggest is: letting her know that you can still be her friend (no strings attached and no expectations,on your part) and that you respect her and her wishes. She needs the space to get her life in order and she needs solid footing, now that she is singlehandedly raising a child. Take care, dear.
