Ex having a baby - questioning if I love DP

[369thegoosedrankvino]

A couple of weeks ago I found out my ExH is having a baby with his fiancé - I feel so upset and I don't know why..

We have been split for nearly 6 years and he has been with his wife to be for over 4.
The split was amicable, together from a young age for 10+ years and have a 12 year old DD together who he see's very regularly.
I think I've always at the back of my mind wished I had tried harder to make the marriage work, even though at the end, we were just friends.

I've been in a relationship myself for the last 2.5 years, he is kind, hardworking, loving and we have a great time together but since this news I have been questioning if I love him, everything he does irritates me and I haven't wanted him to touch me.

I feel awful for him as I know he can tell something is up but I really don't know why I feel this way. He hasn't done anything wrong.
I don't think it's jealousy but maybe it is.

I don't know how to get myself out of this rut or why I am questioning if I love my DP.

Any advice? Anyone else felt this way when ex announced pregnancy?

There is a chance you may be romanticising your past relationship.

Just like with anything in life such as a new job, a new home, a new city, we can often romanticise the past and forget all the reasons why we left in the first place.

Obviously only you know your own feelings but ask yourself, if your ex wanted you back, would you jump ship?

Too often it is easy to look back and think how nice something could have been. The grass always looks greener, but often it isn't.

In the meantime, you need to figure out if there is an underlying cause for how you feel about DP. Is it really just to do with your ex's announcement or is there more to it?
