First week of being single with a baby!

So I thought it would be hard to leave the father of my child but with the help of my aunt, the transition of losing 190 pounds of dead weight has been pretty easy.  I have more help with the baby and am, by far, more happy.  Please explain to me why some men feel that women need them.  Well, we don't, we want them and when we are fed up we want them less and less.  Nick was the man I thought I wanted to spend the rest of my life with and now I know that it was never meant to be but I would never want to change the fact that we made a beautiful baby girl!
