You can't erase the past. You made the choice to have the baby, so that can't change now.
Unfortunately, he can stick you with the majority of the responsibility and take the baby on weekends. However, him leaving means that he is now responsible for child support. Make sure you know what you're entitled to and that you get it.
You do not have the right, however, to deny him visitation with his child. He's a parent too, so he is entitled to parental rights.
If he's willing to drop the mother of his young child like that, he's not worth keeping. This is a time where you need him to be responsible and mature, and he isn't.
Let him go, give him what he's entitled to and make sure you get what you're entitled to. This is not the time to think about your romantic life. You need to be there for your baby! [ NinjaNeer's advice column | Ask NinjaNeer A Question ]

If it doesn't work out, to bad, his lose. Your young, maybe it's time to move on. He says he wants the baby on the weekends then let him, go and party have some fun, met new people. Maybe the thing that keep you guys together for that long was the baby. Remember no use in trying to fit a square into a circle (aka don't beg him if he doesn't like you like that anymore, no use in wasting your time on a broke picture frame).
Life, Laugh, Love
