Seeing someone and they have slept with their ex

Hi.
i know im not going to be popular on here. I slept with a co worker who had a partner of 11 years and 2 you children. 1 being 3 months.
they mutually ended it and about a month after I started seeing him. He is a devoted dad and sees his children every day. He told me he was going on holiday with ex and children which I agreed. Since he has come back off holiday he told me he has slept with his ex on 2 separate occasions and was flirty with her. He says he doesn’t wanna be with her and wants to see how things go between us. What do I do??

"Devoted dad"? Oh my stars.

OP, what was your dad like? Because this arsehole is so far from a devoted dad he fucked someone else while his partner was still in the post-birth period. With a tiny, helpless baby at home.

Well he is not a keeper. Too complicated and was barely single when he started going out. Cut your losses and find someone free to be with you.

How embarrassing for you.

A 'devoted' father does not go about porking random women when he has a brand new baby he's meant to be parenting.
HTH

You get a grip is what you do

If he’s having sex with her that makes her not an ex doesn’t it

You live by the sword, you die by the sword.

Karma. Not nice, is it?

@northernlight20 👏👏

”community dick” 😂😂😂👍

BigComfyTracksuit · 04/09/2024 13:01

I would definitely stay with him. He sounds amazing. I'm pretty sure you will always feel safe, secure and loved. You need to marry him. He's your soulmate.

🤔

I will add he has also since had a vasectomy so I won’t be having kids with him.

What does having children have to do with having some self respect?

AMRP · 04/09/2024 13:03

Karma unfortunately, best to move on.

Dweetfidilove · 04/09/2024 13:09

@Anonymous944 , what do you think you should do?

He cheated with you then cheated on you.

Realistically, what do you think you should do?

Hate to say it but yep.

You had sex with a married man, and now you are upset he's having sex with his wife?

The bleedin cheek!

housethatbuiltme · 04/09/2024 13:16

I mean he was actively with her while you where shagging him so whats the difference?

You introduced a relationship with ZERO standards.

I think you should leave and set your sights much higher than destroying families and settling for cheaters.

SleepingStandingUp · 04/09/2024 13:18

Just how low is your sense of self worth op? How little do you think you deserve?

Either they aren't broken up or he's lying to her and using her for sex on the lie of wanting to get back together. He's scum.

MiddleAgedDread · 04/09/2024 13:18

Did you sleep with him before he first ended it with his partner?
If so, you probably deserve each other.

I will add he has also since had a vasectomy so I won’t be having kids with him.

That makes no different at all though. Except that he won't father any more children, but he will cheat. If you don't ditch him then he'll believe that he can continue. He's fessed up to it, he did it on 2 occassions, so basically you weren't around and he used what was available.

DeCaray · 04/09/2024 14:23

He likes to put his Willy in different women regardless of who he is in a relationship with.

I don't think he's the loyal or committed type, do you?

I would also like to add -

What goes around, comes around.

You reap what you sew.

Karma!

bifurCAT · 04/09/2024 14:26

Both as bad was each other.

No pity here.

VickyEadieofThigh · 04/09/2024 14:30

FoxtrotOscarKindaDay · 04/09/2024 12:08

Make sure you're not pregnant too. It's a very recent vasectomy and they aren't 100% guaranteed either.

I wonder how sure we can be that he DID have a vasectomy...

HRCsMumma · 04/09/2024 15:26

How scummy of you. (And him.)

Epidote · 04/09/2024 15:32

He has both of you dancing his tune.
Such a catch.

Bayern · 04/09/2024 15:39

You're the OW. He is stringing you along, keeping you interested because his tiny brain thinks his partner isn't having sex with him often enough. Funnily enough, she is a bit busy with a baby at the moment, his ego isn't her priority right now.
