I had my dd with my ex after 8 months of being with him, we did love eachother but What I thought about him wasn't correct and his true colours were shown after a while and through other reasons we split when she was a year old.
We co parented from then and it's been up n down but she's a very happy little girl and we are much happier without being in a relationship than we are togther !
He has a new partner and so do I.
How long was it before you got pregnant or had a child with your ex or current partner ?

I was with DH for 18 years before getting pregnant. (My choice - not fertility problems).

10 years, by choice not fertility issues

10 years, fertility issues. Regret having child with him now tbh as absolute nightmare. Not a life i would have chose.

Started trying after 4 years and living together 2.5 years. Actually had the baby after we’d been together 5 years.

Living together I think is key to really trying to get as much to know someone as possible, even then though, people change.

A month, not planned obviously. We did try to make a go of things and we have other children now but it didn’t work out.

Together 8 years, living together for 6 of those and married for 3.5. It was our choice to wait that long.

5 months! We went on to have another one, bought a house, got married... and are now separating! 🤦🏽‍♀️

4 and a half years. Still together now.

I was with him since I was 16 and got pregnant when I was 21. We broke up in 2011.
