Basschick agony auntNo. If a child hasn't convinced him to leave the ex alone, I'd say you're wasting your time.

A reader, anonymous, writes (24 January 2010):

If he had just decided that he wasnt ready to get married then that alone would not necesarily mean he is not committed to you, some people are scared of getting married and many couples are committed to each other without being married. But why is he still in contact with his ex? Does he claim they are innocently just friends, do you suspect they are having an affair or do you know for definate he is seeing her in a sexual way?

Some people can be 'just friends' with their exes so it really depends on the level of their contact. But sadly having a baby does not always mean a man will be committed to a relationship. You need to establish whether he loves you but is just not ready to take the plunge and get married and what exactly does this ex mean to him.

Let us know more if you can then i feel i could give you a better opinion on your question!

Denise32 agony auntIn short, no.

I hope he is helping support the baby you and he have, both emotionally (to the child at least) and financially to you. That is his responsibility......

He is telling you and showing you (by his actions) that he is not ready to commit.

No he is not. If a child isn't committment enough for him then nothing will be. Move on and make a life for yourself without him. He isn't waiting for you by the sound of it if he's in touch with his ex. Make your child the priority. I know it's hard but it's better that you move on and find happiness that hang around waiting for this guy who, even though you have a child, is not prepared to marry you.
