My ex is married and has a baby due any day now. We haven’t been broken up two years yet…

[Anonymous]

My ex (37) and I were together on and off for 2.5 years (we started off casual, why the off). He had been divorced almost 3 years by the time we started seeing each other. He told me he didn’t really want to get remarried again, unless she was pregnant (his ex wife decided after they were married she didn’t want kids - why they broke up). 2 years into our relationship I got pregnant. I told him and he didn’t immediately jump for joy, or say anything really except for “okay”, so I reacted very quickly and told him I wasn’t going to keep it. To which he said, “I’ll support whatever you decide”. So, I got an abortion. Our relationship took a nose dive after this. We had been fighting before this, but after this, it got a lot worse. We had a blow up and he told me he couldn’t do it anymore in mid-July 2024.

I find out that October he was in a relationship with someone else and they started seeing each other in late August. They announced their engagement in February this year, and then announced the pregnancy a week ago. She looks so pretty far along, like 8/9 months far along. This means she’s been pregnant since last year, which also means she got pregnant within a year of them being together. Today I find out that they’re officially married? Apparently this is someone he met/has known since college.…

Honestly, I’m crushed. How could he move on so quickly and in such a major way? It hasn’t even been a full two years since we broke up. I got pregnant first but she gets the family and the marriage? My head is spinning a bit.

You made the choice. He didn't.

Why is your head spinning? You shouldn't even be stalking what he's doing like this. He clearly wasn't that into you and didn't really want marriage/ltr with you. Let it go and find someone else. And get some therapy.

I'm so sorry. Bad guy to encourage an abortion. You truly dodged a bullet. It may take 2 or 5 or 10 years, but the chickens always come home to roost and one day you'll be with a great guy and be thankful you didn't get stuck with this one.

I would let this go.

He knew the other person a lot longer. Plus his relationship with you may have changed his thinking in unknowable ways, good or bad.

He probably told you what he thought he should say...that it was up to you what to do.

The fact that you decided the way you did suggests you weren't madly in love with him. And his reaction suggests he wasn't madly in love with you. So you parted.

You can complain a little about how unfair the universe is but I don't think you lost out on a great dad and husband. Move on.

OP doesn't say he "encouraged" an abortion. She says he said he's support whatever she wanted to do. Big difference, and further proof that men on DCUM can't win.

I wasn’t stalking. I reached out to him in October hoping to reconcile and he told me he was in a relationship. When they made a social media announcement about their engagement my friend told me because they’re still friends on there. Lastly, the baby I’ll admit, curiosity got the best of me and I checked but that’s the only time I’ve checked his socials.

I'm the PP, a 45 yo married man, father of 4 daughters. I can put 2 and 2 together. This guy was an @$$hole and yes, encouraged the abortion. A man like this should never win on DCUM or anywhere else. At 37 any man needs to be ready to step up and support a child he creates.

This is too much drama. Reconcile? You need to move on. He has.

I was madly in love with him though. I decided what I did because I thought he didn’t want the baby.

Not now, when we had first broken up.

Only stupid people think that everything has to be explicitly said. It is implicit in what he *did* say.
