I dated this guy for a few months before I found out that I was pregnant. He was excited at first, then changed his tune. He told me that the main reason why his relationship with his ex failed was because he wanted to have kids with her but she didn't want to become a mother at all. He then ended up saying that on one hand, he's happy he's finally having a child and on the other hand, he wishes it was with her. This scarred me a lot. Days later, he told me he wanted no part in raising this child and cut me off. He changed his mind towards the end of the pregnancy and worked really hard to get me to see him favourably. Now a year later, we have a wonderful little baby and live together.

He is honestly such a loving partner and a phenomenal father who made a terrible mistake. But there are days when I hear his remark about wishing that he had this child with his ex instead in my head, and it makes me doubt if he really loves me. I feel like in years to come he's going to feel that he only stayed with me because of the baby and never truly come to love me.

I have always been healthily confident in myself until now; I'm not the type of person to be jealous of exes, but now his past relationship with her makes me feel insecure. I find myself (embarrassingly) creeping her Facebook and making her out to be this amazing person. She seems much more talented, successful and adventurous than I. Then it makes me second-guess why he's here with me now. But he treats me amazingly well and shows me that he genuinely loves me in all ways possible! Please give me your honesty; does he love me? Or is he settling?
