Am I reading too much into it?

Hi everyone,

DP and myself decided to start trying for a baby in summer last year. He works overseas, so we weren't putting any pressure on it because of him being away. He is divorced and has young children already. He mentioned recently that he thinks his ex wife is pregnant and then told me he wants to stop TTC for a while. I obviously respect his wishes, but I am desperate to become a mother myself and had just bought a load of ovulation kits and vitamins, which he knew about. I'm worrying that it is not just a coincidence that he tells me this after telling me he thinks his ex is pregnant. I haven't said anything, but it has just all come out of the blue and I'm feeling very upset and disappointed.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated x

How young are his children? How long have you been together?

@CodenameVillanelle We have been together for just over two years, and marriage is on the cards. His children are 5 and 7.

It could be as simple as not wanting to overwhelm his existing children with two new siblings at once.

@Emmelina Yes you could be right, I did consider this myself. However, he doesn't know for a fact that his ex is pregnant. He just thought she had a "bit of a bump" and she mentioned she had a blood test recently.

I would want a reason why. You can't decide to do something then not. Is there something else behind this. So what if his ex wife is pregnant that's nothing to do with you.

I would want him to explain why

I can only assume though maybe that triggered him to rethink what he wants
