Betrayal

Quote From: ritehere

 I think you need to take stock of your feelings and situation. If you were truly just his friend wouldn't you be happy to support him in his efforts to make a go of it with this Beth? She is, after all, the mother of his child. It sounds to me like either your feelings have changed for him, or that you see that this Beth is just using him over and over and you can't get him to see it for himself. Love is like that. You cannot change his behavior, or Beth's. They will work it out, or not. He will come to his senses or not.
The only person you can help is you. It sounds like you are bending over backward for this guy, and becoming fed up with it. Why are you going to these lengths when he is obviously still hung up on her?

I think that you would be well advised to "wash your hands of all this drama."  Without you there as a reason for Beth to exert control, she may lose interest again and leave. I suspect she is playing that old game of "I don't want you, but I don't want anybody else to have you either." Your boyfriend needs to come to this conclusion for himself though, and give himself time to get over her, before embarking on any other relationships.
I do care for him dearly and i simply don't want to see his heart broken yet again. Beth is not the mother of his child. The mother of his child was a high school sweetheart who didn't work out and has now taken the child to where no one is able to locate them. Beth has told him time and time again that she will never be a step-mom. Thank you for your thoughts on this situation!
