I made this account a few days ago and have been reading threads but this is my first post and I need some advice.

Some background- me and boyfriend are young and ive known him for years as we were were previously friends. We got together in January 2019. Before we got together he was with someone else who was quite controlling and accused him of cheating on her with me (he wasn't and we only got into a relationship after they'd split up).

When I found out I was pregnant last year our relationship wasn't very good as we argued over little things. We then decided to be friends as he told me he was struggling with his mental health and he wanted to focus on himself.

We've been back together since January and our relationship has been good so far. I gave birth 2 weeks ago and he's been a good dad so far aswell. His ex messaged me today telling me that a few weeks ago they had sex and apparently they've been meeting up and he's been telling her that he wants to be with her etc.

Now I'm not sure what to do, I'm also not sure if to believe her Sad

Any advice will be appreciated

Try not to get drawn in. He doesn't sound trustworthy or worth having as a long term partner so I'd probably decide to get what suits me from the situation. You have a New born together. Ignore the ex. Perhaps block her. Let him play happy families for a bit. It's good for your dd. Know that you have the measure of him. I'm assuming you dont want another relationship right now so if he's hanging around let him but don't let him take advantage of you and dont trust him.

I'd ask for proof in screenshots of messages and to catch him in the act.

Honestly though, I kind of think she is lying. Could be wrong, but she's probably saying it to split you up and then hoping she will get him back. Doesn't sound like she has high self esteem. It wouldnt be the first or last time a woman lies to get a man back. Women are no cleaner than men on this.

Focus your energy on that beautiful new born bundle.

Ask for proof. Until you have some, no reason to believe her. But keep your eyes and ears open for a bit.
