Ex/Childs Father Doesn't Reach Out Since Has A New Pregnant Girlfriend?

Me and my childs father have a three-year-old son together. We've been on and off for 4 years but have known each other over a decade. He has two children from a previous relationship a son with me and his current girlfriend of 3 months is pregnant. So he met a woman while he was in a compromising position she helped him out financially and did things for him. We we're not together at the time but we're discussing getting back together for the sake of our child. We would text every day and talk every day even if he was seeing someone and still sexually active. So he ended up going to jail for DUI and me and the woman actually bumped heads because she was looking for him via fb. Well to sum things up she didn't know about me she didn't know about our son he only told her about his first two childrend mom. She then told me she's pregnant. I got so angry after finding these things out I told her things about him that she didn't know. I disclosed his criminal record I disclosed how many kids he really had I told her of his drinking problem. Once he was released and found out that she knew all this information he blocked me and I haven't heard from him since. I found out that the girl still talks to him but is having problems with him and has already called the relationship off once. Here is the thing even though he has done horrible things to me over the years like I said we have been on and off which the off was due to his infidelities. I do feel bad about disclosing that information to her. Was I wrong should I contact him and apologize? I've never went this long without talking to him but he has done worse things to me and I have forgiven him I fill like for him to get so angry over me disclosing information to a female that he's only been knowing for a few months and just cut me off knowing we have a child together it's a bit crazy. Also I found out he asked her to relocate with him. Should I reach out and apologize should I leave things as they are and just forget about it? Like I said he's done some horrible things to me very horrible and I have forgiven him and for him to just turn his back on me and his son in my opinion so small makes me question if he ever really cared for me and his son. like I said she didn't even know about us she didn't even know that we had a kid together and she didn't even know I existed. Just need opinions/advice on if he will come around and or if I should apologize or just leave it alone. Also I am the one who originally said that we should just be friends so for me to turn around and get so angry and jealous and tell her all this information I feel silly because I really didnt want to be with him romantically anyway because there was no trust anymore. But I did get angry to find that he didn't tell her about us as if we weren't important. What should I do? Also why wouldn't he not tell her about us if they got serious she would of found out..

should I contact him and apologize?
Hell NO.
He's blocked you.
This is basically YOUR 'get out of jail free' card.
Don't waste it.
Block him and don't waste another thought or breathe on him.
Concentrate you and your DS.
He is no role model for your DS so be glad he is out of the way!

Yes, if you think you are are a worthless cunt then by all means contact him and get back with him.

If however you have any self respect for yourself and you do not want your son to grow up raging that his mother allows herself to be treated like a worthless cunt, then walk away with your head held high.

Find out about, and do the Freedom Program.

Jist wondering if I was out of character and should I apologize I don't want him back. And I don't need or want information on a freedom program.

Why are you accusing me of being disrespectful? Seriously? Why are you considering engaging at all to a man who has so comprehensively disrespected you? You are worrying about what HE thinks about your character? You are the one who should have walked away and ignored him.

If you want to crawl back with a man who has treated you like a cunt then as I said, go for it. And of course ignore the Freedom Program because it is designed to open your eyes to the cycle of abuse that you are in.

But really,time to own how little you respect yourself and do not have a go at anyone normal who points this out to you.

He is a seriously unpleasant man I have no idea why you care about apologising the only thing I can think of is that you probably hoped it would ruin his new relationship so you could get him back with you again. You have known him for 10 years and he’s horrible to you. You had a child with him knowing what he is like and you still love him obviously from your post. I honestly feel like the best thing for your child is starting a new life without a criminal, abusive guy who gets multiple women pregnant then leaves them

Snappedandfarted2018 · 08/10/2018 18:39

Wow he’s not a catch three different women who he will have children with, he had affairs constantly on off and he’s a criminal record. Surely it must be confusing for your child and you’re step children if I can call them that.

Unicornandbows · 08/10/2018 18:40

Agree with @haffiana

blueskiesandforests · 08/10/2018 18:43

He didn't tell her about you because he's a low life by the sounds of it.

He denied the existence of his child - your child - in order to continue having sex with a new aquaintance, whom he immediately impregnated.

Tells you all you need to know.

Go through official channels for maintenance for your mutual child and leave it to him to ask for contact.

Your son will grow into a better man without the influence of a "father" who denies his existence to get laid though.

IStandWithPosie · 08/10/2018 18:44

he blocked me and I haven't heard from him since.

Count your lucky stars, move, change your name and pray he never tries to get in contact. He’s a scumbag. Do you need a scumbag in your for any particular reason? Do you plan on being driven by a drunk or spending time in a prison visitors room?
