My ex husband....we had been married 15 years tried for a baby but never happened..he is younger than me he always said if I got pregnant great but if I didn't no problem it will be whatever... we tried to get help everything was fine but never happened but he was OK with it or so I thought . I have children from my first marriage ... But as the years went by I thought we have each other I thought he felt the same.... but his family and friends kept saying when are the babies going to happen well that's when things changed. He is turkish and family is important. So 2 years ago we divorced I didn't want to but we did we still lived together then 1 year ago he went back to his home well he only went and got married got her pregnant brought her back to UK new house and now have a baby.. last night he came to see me and said when she goes back to turkey to see family he will take me on holiday wtf my brain hurts he knows I love him even after all this I know he plays on this .. she has just put a picture of him and baby on social media it's like sticking a knife in my heart I feel all alone what have I done he even admitted that if I had had a baby he wouldn't have left but he and his family wanted to carry on the name I feel so used .. lonely.. pathetic I can't breathe but he just goes on with his life while I cant move on .... What's have I done wrong ??

It doesn't sound like you've done anything wrong, you've just had bad luck. It almost goes without saying, but don't go on holiday with him. You need time and distance to heal.

Why are you even in contact with him. Block him & let him find someone else to be the OW in his marriage

What you've done wrong is give a moment's time to the man who divorced you, allowed him to stay in your home until he went off and found someone else, fathered a baby on her - and is now trying to involve you in cheating on the mother of his child.

While you moon over her social media pics, does she have the faintest idea what this weak willed cheat is up to?

This is an innocent baby and a family that is nothing to do with you.

Block him on social media and phones. Do not see him or speak to him again.

FFS have some self respect.

You can’t move on if you are still in contact.

Block and delete him on everything. Don’t let him in the house if he comes round. Call the police if he won’t go

Then focus on your own life, friends, family, work and hobbies. Fake it till you make it Every day it will get easier.

You'd be better with no contact with him. Don't allow him to come around to your home. If you keep seeing him you will never get over him. Block him and force yourself not to look at their SM accounts. It will only make you unhappy. Can you take up a new hobby or date so.eonr else. Don't go on holiday with him. He sounds like a very weak man if he lets his family tell him he must have a child.

right you have done nothing wrong, you need to stop all contact with your ex he is trying to use you knowing how you feel. block him go no contact. find what makes you happy find hobbies find out what you want out of life. there is something and someone better for you and while it may not seem like it now better days are coming xx
