Hello, I'm Cynthia, a 26-year-old navigating a complicated situation. I've found myself in a challenging predicament, and I'm reaching out for understanding rather than judgment.
I entered into a relationship with Yves, a 56-year-old single father of six, who has been a significant source of support for me over the past four years. He has always expressed a desire for me to have a child, but until now, I was unable to conceive.
Our relationship ended about a year and a half ago, and I then met my current boyfriend, Zona, who is 38. I genuinely love Zona, even though he tends to be somewhat frugal and isn't always there for me during tough times.
While Zona's stinginess can be challenging, my feelings for him have deepened. However, Yves remains present in my life, especially during difficult moments. He has been there for me when I’ve fallen ill, offering help that Zona typically doesn't.
Recently, after falling ill again, Yves took me to the hospital, where I received shocking news: I’m pregnant! I hadn't even realized it until now, and the timing aligns with my last encounter with Yves.
This revelation weighs heavily on me because I don’t have feelings for Yves; my heart belongs to Zona, who also expressed a desire to start a family with me. Meanwhile, Yves is thrilled about the pregnancy and is already making plans for the baby's future.
I find myself in a tough spot as I can't confide in Zona about my situation just yet. The early symptoms of pregnancy are starting to show, and I worry he will notice. Losing him is not something I want to consider.
I'm seeking guidance on how to navigate this situation. How do I distance myself from my ex while carrying his child? Zona deserves honesty, but I'm scared of how this will affect our relationship.
Please offer your advice without any harsh judgments. Thank you.
