TalkZone: Can't get this married man off my mind

On TalkZone, we are looking at a 21 years old lady story. Something has been bothering me for some time now. I am a customer service representative-business administrator by profession. I have been working in this capacity since January. I get along with my colleagues. We held a small party for the former principal before she went off.
The present principal stated that we should be really close. To me, knowing that the former principal and I were close, I thought it would be work related. He asked for my number, and it took me about a week and some days before I eventually gave it to him. His response was, "Finally". I smiled, then we talked as good colleagues. However, one day when he was on the road, he asked me to do an activity and send it to him, which I did. Another response was, "God know, that's why I love you so." I replied saying, "Ok".
We started to have some real conversations after I went to a water park and he saw all my pictures in my
swimwear. At first, I was against dating my co-worker, but this man makes me feel good. We got intimate, not sexual, though. We kiss and have phone sex a lot. Whenever I go to his place and we attempt to have sex, he can't because he is a minister and he is married. He did give me oral sex without me returning the favour.

TalkZone: I won't let his mother keep our baby

I have a baby by a man. We have been together for two and a half years. He was living with his mother and I was sharing house with one of my sisters. I had to pay half for everything and when I got pregnant I became sickly and my boyfriend said he was going to rent a place so that the both of us could live. He told his mother that he was leaving home and she told him that he should wait until the baby was born to see if the baby is really his. He suggested that to me and I started to cry and told him that I did not know he didn't trust me. She said he trusted me but just to please his mother he would wait.
One day when he came by he told me to get ready, he was going to show me a place. He took me to a place and showed me a two bedroom place. He said that it belonged to a friend of his and the friend was going abroad to live and he would leave everything in the house for us to use. I was so glad because the only thing I had at my sister was a bed and a dresser.
He moved me in and slept with me the first night. He didn't tell his mother about the new place, so sometimes he would sleep with me at the new place and sometimes at home. He moved his clothes piece by piece for his mother's house and finally he told her that I had a place and he can't let me stay there alone. His mother hates me for nothing at all. I haven't done her anything. She has it to say that because of me her son is not giving her anything and that is a lie. He is not giving her as much as she used to get but he still supports he.
