Omg, I don’t know what to do. My boyfriend has gone out on a work do. I kept hearing a pinging coming from his office so I went in to mute whatever device it was and it was his iPad. Went to mute it and saw the message ‘can’t wait babe’ on the home screen. Obviously I opened it and have now found hundreds of messages between him and another girl. No idea who she is. Haven’t even looked into that yet. Just read the messages. He says he loves her. I have an 8 month old baby I feel sick please what shall I do from here? He’s just text me saying he misses me and I can see on the iPad he’s text her saying he misses her

Congratulations on the pregnancy.

I wonder if he told the OW that you no longer had sex, as many men seeking it elsewhere do. Going to be a bit hard to explain away a pregnancy if he did!

ticking · 27/01/2020 17:43

@Beebeezed I suspect that will be a shock for the OW...

nzeire · 27/01/2020 18:05

congratulations!!!

CinderEmma · 27/01/2020 18:15

Just RTWT and you really are amazing!! I'd have taken the IPad with me to see what else he was saying to her! I would also have given OW a shock! Well done on being so calm about it all!

Congratulations on your baby news, after reading this thread I'm pretty sure you will have no problems at all. I hope your X and the OW live unhappily ever after.

Just wow op!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

What a way to handle an awful situation! You’re a star, amazingly strong woman.

I’m beginning to lose hope in men general, I’m single mum of one and have been cheated on also in the past. I was physically sick at work when I found out, so I know how horrible it is Sad

Your strength is incredible. I wish you so much hope and happiness. If you’re based in East Midlands, could go on a play date. You’re completely my cup of tea.

I bet ow didn’t know you were still intimate and hope the pregnancy is a shock for her!

Congratulations on your little wonder to come. Flowers

icelollycraving · 27/01/2020 18:50

Good God, you have steely strength! Congratulations on your pregnancy Flowers

sparkylove · 27/01/2020 19:22

Congratulations. You've handled this situation like a pro. What a joke he is. Good luck to the both of them.

VenusTiger · 27/01/2020 20:41

OP, I read your thread before Christmas and was amazed at how you handled this! You have amazing parents too!

Congratulations on the pregnancy, you're going to have a lovely little happy family! All the best.

Taylr1733637 · 27/01/2020 20:56

Wow congratulations on your pregnancy!!

They might be in a "Facebook official" relationship, but OW will forever be paranoid about him cheating on her like he did to you.

XJerseyGirlX · 27/01/2020 21:04

Omg what a surprise. I'm so happy that your looking at the positives and are excited about the new baby. Congratulations op xx

Lillygolightly · 27/01/2020 21:29

Congratulations on your pregnancy, it will be lovely having that and your wonderful son to focus on.

What an amazingly lady and fab mum you are.

Candlecandle · 28/01/2020 13:49

Huge congratulations on your pregnancy! How exciting! Brilliant that you have your parents for support too.

I also avoid any relationship details on Facebook, but in this instance I'd be tempted to tag him in your baby news - just to put the cat amongst the pigeons same time as their relationship is 'official' 😁 (I wouldn't really)
So impressed by the way you have handled all of this.

Greenkit · 28/01/2020 22:37

Congratulations

Well done getting rid x

HillAreas · 29/01/2020 13:22

Oh my goodness! To be a fly on the wall when he has to explain your pregnancy to OW Grin. No doubt he will have been telling her that side of your relationship was done, you were only staying together for the child’s sake, blah blah blah... well, now she will know he was “cheating” on her, too. Serves the pair of them right!

Greenkit · 29/01/2020 14:40

I would put your news on FB and tag him in as the expectant father.

MissPepper8 · 29/01/2020 15:31

I wouldn't tag him.. You'll just look crazy as he's literally just put he's in a relationship with her.

She'll find out eventually and he's obviously still got feelings for you so hell want to be involved with this baby too no doubt.

If she stays with him knowing she's destroyed a family and home with him though, she's a big a piece of shit as he is.

Greenkit · 29/01/2020 15:52

Probably right Misspepper

septsapp · 29/01/2020 17:40

Wow you are truly amazing and so so strong !!! So much self respect and classiness !!! You should be so proud of yourself !!!

Turtletotem · 29/01/2020 18:23

I was in a very similar situation to you a long time ago I found out I was pregnant after he moved in with another woman. I had a 12 month old at the time. They're beautiful independent women now. Well done for being so strong you're an inspiration to young women. Best wishes for the future

billy1966 · 29/01/2020 19:38

Wishing you the best.

What an incredible difference having, kind, supportive parents make to any woman in this situation.

Delighted for you that you have them.

Best of luck with your pregnancy.

Ragglesnaggle · 29/01/2020 19:52

OP your lovely children are so lucky to have such a strong mum.
You will be the best example they could possibly have. 💐

OneToThree · 29/01/2020 20:07

Congratulations Flowers

Littlemissdaredevil · 30/01/2020 07:22

You are amazing Flowers

nobodylikesacockwomble · 30/01/2020 20:26

Congratulations OP! xx

Gemm83 · 30/01/2020 21:27

I have just spent about 1hr 45mins reading this whole thread from start to finish.

It's possibly one of the most inspirational things I have ever read.

OP, many many congratulations on your pregnancy. I hope you and your LO's have a lifetime of love and happiness.

Your ex and the OW? Well, they can burn in hell. Two arsehole liars together.

You have handled the whole situation with grace, maturity and integrity. A true role model for your babies.

Lots of love ❤️❤️
