Bitter That Baby Daddy Is Giving New Girlfriend The Happy Ending!?

35 replies

3timesshy · 01/01/2019 14:51

My ex is engaged to his girlfriend of only 5 months. They moved in together and have a baby on the way. I was with him on and off for years we have two kids. He has given me a ring before but we never married because he kept cheating and lieing and has even left me for ex girlfriends before. I don't know why I am so mad and bitter knowing this. I guess I just felt like he treated me like crap and now has this new chick and she gets my happy ending. I will say he also has two other children from a previous relationship also he was with her a decade and didn't marry her either but they were engaged.I am just so angry with him I have no problem or nothing against her but I just want maybe to know why he couldn't be good to me when we were together and walk me down the isle. I mean they aren't married but engaged living together and baby on the way mine as well just say their married. I will also include that in the beginning months when they made themselves official boyfriend/girlfriend I didn't know he was even with her and we were still active sexually. And there were plenty occasions after that were he'd come over and try to come on to me behind her back and I actually told her, eventually he made her think I was lieing and crazy and just wanted him back even with the proof of calls and messages he sent me. Well now she has it to where he can't communicate with me at all if not about our children because he keeps trying to sneak with me and she is insecure. I think it's wrong he's treating me this way after all we've been thru and all I have put up with trying to make our family work. What are the odds that their marriage will last and why is he marrying her so fast and giving her the life and treating her the way I wanted. Also I saw the ring it was way nicer than the one he got me looks very expensive! I am so hurt I don't know what to do I just need advice especially from people who've been here or just advice.

Don't worry, she's not going to have any sort of happy ending.

This man is a Destroyer of Lives.

I feel sorry for her. She's already a wreck after only 5 months.

Closetbeanmuncher · 01/01/2019 14:58

Except she's not going to get a happy ending is she because he's still the same piece of shit he always has been and always will be.

The sooner you realise that the better!

justme28 · 01/01/2019 14:58

He gave her a ring, a child and has been sleeping with you (his ex) while with her.

He gave you a ring, has children with you and left you for his exes before.

To me it doesn't sound like she has a happy ending, it sounds like he's treating her the exact same as he treated you and you should just thank your lucky stars he isn't your problem anymore.

EdWinchester · 01/01/2019 15:02

This particular ‘baby daddy’ sounds like an total arse. More fool the women that get involved, I don’t suppose there will be a happy ending for anyone, least of all his numerous children.

merrybloominchristmas · 01/01/2019 15:02

It's just the same story with a different woman. How is she getting it any better?
This piece of shit doesn't deserve any of you.
Make 2019 the year when you raise the bar and value yourself a bit.

MadameButterface · 01/01/2019 15:02

You need higher standards

Being married isn’t an achievement in itself, being in a relationship isn’t an achievement. He sounds like a sack of shit, instead of pining after him why don’t you do some work on your self esteem and get some meaningful life goals

Etino · 01/01/2019 15:04

Eugh! He’s no catch.
Do the Freedom Programme my lovely and set your standards much higher.

StarJazmin · 01/01/2019 15:07

What on earth are you jealous of, you’re well rid by the sounds of things. Having a baby with someone you’ve been with for 5 months, who cheats on you, has 4 other children with 2 other women who he also treated like dirt, is no one’s happy ending.

Here’s my advice - only communicate with him about things to do with the children - arranging their contact time with him and him paying you his maintenance for them. NOT because that’s what his fiancée wants, but because that is the only healthy way forward for you. Stop facilitating him ‘sneaking with you’, see him for the sad pathetic loser he is, and move on with your life. Create your own happy ending, that doesn’t involve him in any way, whatsoever. New year, new you.

Coffeebean76 · 01/01/2019 15:14

You sound more interested in the idea of marriage and a big ring than in this man. He’s clearly no catch, I think that’s been established.

Find someone else but don’t get married just for its ‘own reward’ or else you’ll be disappointed and it’s not fair in the children of course.

DBML · 01/01/2019 15:18

Where was her happy ending? I must have missed it. At least if you’re no longer with this idiot, you can at least have a chance of finding your happy ending.

JenMumma · 01/01/2019 15:21

You are missing out on ; NOTHING. Keep it that way 😉 x x

Begrateful · 01/01/2019 15:22

He sounds like an utter disaster. Why on Earth would you be jealous. Good riddence, that's garbage you don't need in your life. Raise your standards and move forward. 😌

Dirtybadger · 01/01/2019 15:28

Having to divorce a serial cheat (or worse live with it!) Is not a happy ending Confused

You are well rid

jessstan2 · 01/01/2019 15:29

There will be no happy ending. It feels hard and is upsetting now but give it time, the man has a track record.

You're well out of it!

I very much doubt any woman will be getting a happy ending with a man that clearly has the morals of an alley cat. Why on earth you want to be part of his weird harem is beyond me.

You're worth more than some philandering idiot that can't be faithful to anyone.

Hold your head high, communicate with him solely for the purposes of the children and from now on don't settle for anything less than a decent man.

ilovesooty · 01/01/2019 15:32

Just make sure he supports your children financially. That's all that matters.

DelightfulCunt · 01/01/2019 15:38

Your standards and expectations are on the floor.
Why are you more concerned about a ring and her “winning” than you are about the effect of this shitshow on his kids?

Treating her the way you wanted?? Cheating on her with you? Lying to her? @3timesshy you are better off without him

MistressDeeCee · 01/01/2019 16:00

I feel sorry for the children, with a waste of space dad hopping from place to place leaving ever more children in his wake.

Im astounded as to how men like that even get a woman beyond a temporary casual fling maybe, if a woman feels so inclined. What's the use of him beyond that?

Can't keep it in his pants, clearly averse to using protection. Yuk.

At least you're rid, OP

Cobblersandhogwash · 01/01/2019 16:23

No. It's you who gets the happy ending. Because you are free of this creepy man. Well done!

I feel sorry for the new sucker.

Didsomeonesaybunny · 01/01/2019 16:30

I’ve been through this exact same thing myself. I was in a state of shock and the pain was quite searing but, I gave myself some time to absorb what had happened and it hurt a little less each day thereafter. Even though my ex is ‘in love’ and engaged to be married he’s very unhappy and I actually take a little solace in that.

She has my cast off, I think the same could happen with respect to your ex.

SandyY2K · 01/01/2019 16:39

He constantly cheated on you and you're bitter he's with someone else after how he treated you.

You're well rid.

Wolfiefan · 01/01/2019 16:40

Happy ending? No. Chlamydia? Perhaps. Boak.

AgentJohnson · 01/01/2019 16:46

He lied and cheated, there’s no happy ending with this guy. Do you really think marriage will or would of changed him? Of course it wouldn’t, you’re jealous over a man that doesn’t exist, well not in your Ex’s incarnation.

Let it go and take responsibility for your role in your relationship dynamic, he never was good enough for you but for whatever reason, you chose to put up with his shit.

Let go of the fantasy that never was and move on, once and for all.
