I (24F) dated Josh (33M) for 2 years. We broke up about 6 months ago, nothing dramatic but we wanted different things. He was more career focused, I was more family focused. I begged for attention, affection and basic intimacy and he just didn’t have the time. We ended things on good terms and remained friends. Josh is really important to me.

His younger brother Liam (27M) was the only one who checked in on me, he helped move my stuff into my own flat, got me out and about to take my mind of things etc. One night after talking for hours, I broke down. One thing led to another, it wasn’t planned at all, it wasn’t revenge.

To cut a long story short, I’m preggers. It’s obviously Liam’s and he’s freaking the fuck out, I’m trying to hold it together and I’ve decided to keep the baby. Myself and Liam have been together since that night.

Last week, Liam and his mum came round and said that they’d like the baby to be baptised. I said that I’d like Josh to be the godfather as he was my bestfriend for over 2 years, he’s still important to me and I can’t think of anyone that I’d rather choose to be our baby’s godfather. Liam went absolutely bonkers, saying that it’s manipulative, sick and humiliating. His mum said it was a lovely idea.

Liam and Josh’s extended family are calling me a home wrecker which doesn’t make sense as I didn’t begin my new relationship until over a month after my last one ended.

I’m 3 months pregnant, AITA if I ask my ex to be my baby’s godfather? I think it will bring the family together after a rocky few months but there have been so many mixed and strong ass opinions. Any (kind) advice is welcome, please keep in mind that I’m pregnant and emotionally vulnerable. Thanks guys.
