Hey.
So... either I'm batshit crazy and my pregnancy hormones are everywhere or I'm right in feeling hurt by the ongoings of this evening.

My partners ex from uni is staying tonight and tomorrow on my sofa and I cant shake this bad feeling in my gut. They were never serious and she dumped him after a month or two, but they were in university together and lived in the same house for 3 years and he's told me he's always had feelings for her and wished things didn't end between them.
This is the first time ive met her and she's spent all evening saying how much she hates kids (Ive got an 11 month old and pregnant with second) and how she never wants them and called us crazy and stupid for having kids!
Then he sat there agreeing with her saying his life is shit at the moment and parenting sucks!! -this is news to me...
Cherry on top he didn't/wont tell her I'm pregnant and now i feel really awkward about like he doesn't want this baby...
He spent all evening ignoring me and flirting with her in front of me, he was nicer to her than he's been to me in months, i was in the room with them playing a game while they were cuddled up together on the sofa flirting giggling and watching a film without me...
Am i mad for allowing this?
I went to bed early and left them to it at 11pm last night hoping to send a message I'm not ok with this... and he got into bed at 2am. He's sleeping next to me right now and she's on the sofa and I'm just seething quietly in bed,

Am i mad or is this okay behaviour?

This would really upset me - even more than the flirting , which was awful.
He's basically saying he's not happy, so give the asshole what he wants by releasing him from the "shitty" family life.
I'm sure you'll be much better off and will find a nice men who will happy to take his place.

Luna - Yea that's what stung the most to be honest since he pretends to be so happy....

Oh that was definitely a kick in the teeth....

It was few days ago. Anything happened since? You're still feeling upset about it? Do you wanna talk to him? Or to us Smile?

He's probably behaving like nothing happened.....Sad

How are you doing OP, been thinking about you since your first post Sad

You deserve so SO much better sweet Flowers

FearandLoathinginLasVegas · 19/12/2016 14:44

He's an arsehole.
She is also an arsehole - what woman would do that! cuddling on the sofa! wtf!

You need to tell him that this isn't ok, but quite frankly he should know that already.

@MotherBearAndBabyBear

Are you still together? Stumbled across this thread and wondered how it all worked out? Hope you're happy, whatever the outcome. Nice to have a long term update sometimes

He is an immature creep. Tell him so and go if you can, he might then face a few facts about himself.

Trinity66 · 17/08/2018 14:05

wow that is disgusting behaviour, I'm not sure I could get passed that at all

DeathByGlamour · 18/08/2018 17:02

Zombie thread 🧟‍♀️🧟‍♂️

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 18/08/2018 17:16

I disagree with the suggestion you should relieve him of the role of parenting if he finds it so uninspiring. Instead I would point out to him that that ship has sailed, twice actually. He is welcome to try and pursue his relationship with the ex, in fact you would encourage him to do so because you no longer want him, but you will not be relieving him of the lifelong responsibility of supporting his two children.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 18/08/2018 17:17

Nooooo! How did I miss that? Blush

Bambi99 · 18/08/2018 20:05

Wow I wud be furious. He disrespected u and ur life to please her, he prioritised her and jeopardised his family life. I would be concerned what happened when u went to bed, he was cuddling her infront of u and left it open to interpretation. I think you need to take a long think because if she gave him the option or another woman did, I reckon in a few months he will be off anyway. I hope that you are OK xx

Shazzyj87 · 19/08/2018 00:57

This situation would have me reeling. I would have told her to fuck off out my house and told him to fuck off with her

Saggital · 19/08/2018 03:35

She’s been on that sofa for two fucking years people.........

Sunflowersforever · 28/08/2018 23:01

She needs to do one Wink

This isn't a big deal. Shell be gone in two days. Do not break up over it. Think of your children.
He's a prick, but will be back to normal in a couple of days.
