Second best option

We are not together, yet good friends - the second best option after a happy relationship, and way better (in my eyes) than a forced relationship "for the sake of the child". Personally, I believe it's easier for a child to handle parents who are just friends than parents who stay together without really wanting to be a couple, usually breaking up after having it tried for a few years. Call me a coward or a lazy girl for not giving the relationship a second chance, but to be frank, I wouldn't want to risk the friendship over it.

And all those who have made comments over the past few months such as "a child needs a father" I can only reply once again: Mia has a father who - I am sure - will be an excellent dad, even though he might not always be living in the same place. And to all those who think being a single parent is tough: so far, I can't complain :) Living with Mia has so far been just as easy as carrying her in my belly ...
