When i got pregnant y years ago we were not in an exclusive relationship we were fwb. But that changed after we had our child and we have been on and off now for the last 6 years and knowing each other for 13 years but he tells current girlfriend we was never in a relationship and that I was a one night stand and that is sooo far from the truth! Has anyone been thru this? I don't understand why he downplays our relationship to women.

So you aren't a threat or something? I don't know, I wouldn't worry about it, get on with your own life

It makes you look like the bad guy and him look like a victim. Ignore it, you know the truth, just be grateful you don't have to put up with the moron still.

What goes around comes around. Maintain your dignity. She'll figure it out in the long run.

to make you look bad..

In the nicest possible way I think you need to detach here. It's not really any of your business what he chooses to tell his gf and I'm not sure why he would even tell you what he said. Keep all discussions to essential ones about your child and move on with your life.

Mummy20188 · 30/10/2018 21:26

He didnt tell me what he said she did.. He tells me negative things about her also but I know, Ive decided to leave it alone and detach.

Because it suits him. Simple as that. It makes you and the other woman feel special if he slags the other one off. That way he can try and shag you both keep you both on side. Some people enjoy turning people against one another.

Don't take it personally - most guys do this to make the one they're currently chasing/with seem like a chosen one and so she feels a step above you by making her feel she's worthy/he's such a "nice guy" for "dating" her i.e. make her believe he's serious about her (probs plays the same lines with every conquest).. once a liar, always a liar

I was married to my ex for 20 years
His new wife has no idea we have 2 children

Mummy20188 · 30/10/2018 22:55

Wow! How does she not know that? He didn't tell her about his kids??

my ex doesnt tell any new women he has 5 kids as it “puts them off” some men are just bastards

Japanesejazz · 31/10/2018 22:43

Well I guess his children are not important to him. He moved to a different continent to be with her so I guess it’s pretty easy if there is not much danger of bumping into your children at the shop etc! He told his parents not to mention the children to him in the presence of new wife as he didn’t want her to see how broken he is about the fact that they want nothing to do with him. Mr manipulative. She will learn. The truth always comes out in the end.

My daughter's dad and his wife has accused me of everything from paedophilia (we were in our 20s) to being desperate for a baby to get benefits (I took the morning after pillnever wanted kids and there were no benefits apart from child benefit avaliable then) plus of course the old chestnut I did it for his money(I earned more than him) now I'm spiteful because I won't allow a relationship with my dd (who is an adult at university) two sides to every story!

She even rants about me on social media for refusing to take him back 17 years ago he was on drugs but apparently I should have taken him in and nurtured him looked after him and helped him I'm also to blame for not marrying him ( because he is such a fucking prize) no one dares to point out to her if I had done that she wouldn't have married him and had kids with him (she is also on drugs unsurprisingly)
