Ex says she’s pregnant by DP but he had vasectomy

Bit of a long one sorry. Me and DP have 3 kids together, he also has 2 from a previous relationship. We’re not married but been together nearly 7 years.

He had a vasectomy in Dec last year, we’d agreed no more babies and tbh 5 between us is more than enough. Everything seemed fine until past couple months when I started getting a weird gut feeling. He’s been spending more and more time at his ex’s when dropping the kids, like going in for coffee or just “having a chat” which wasn’t really a thing before. Then he randomly bought a new expensive aftershave which is v unlike him (he normally uses whatever’s on offer in Asda lol).

Anyway, I asked him outright if anything’s going on and he swore blind no. Fast forward to yesterday and I get a msg from his ex. She says she slept with him and she’s pregnant. She doesn’t know about the vasectomy, so I’m guessing she thinks he’s still fertile.

Idk what to think. Is she lying to stir things up? She’s always been a bit off with me, and I’ve always felt like she never really moved on from him. They split cos she cheated on him (he told me that early on) so it’s not like they were some perfect couple.

But now I’m second guessing everything. Would she really lie about being pregnant?? Or could he have cheated and not told her about the vasectomy? Is it even possible she’s pregnant by him if he had it done over 6 months ago?

It’s possible she’s not pregnant (or it’s not DH’s) but that he has slept with her. Ex sees this as a way to get him to own up to it as you’d be looking for paternity proof etc.

Good luck with speaking to him 😢 once you tell him you’ll have to do paternity testing etc his reaction will tell you everything.

I think this os the highest probability sadly.

I kind of agree. If he hadn’t slept with her he won’t be concerned at all it could be his so there would be no point in claiming to be pregnant with his child as this can be proved false. The only purpose (if not true) is to get him to admit it because he thinks there will be proof in 9 months time.

I would assume it happened once, he’s pulled back and she’s gone on a rampage.

Oh gosh op that sounds horrendous. Speak to him face to face and you’ll know if he’s cheating by his reaction. What a total scum bag if he is

You poor thing.

Hope you're okay @HellPro x

My response, “ok thanks for telling me, let me know when the dna test is booked, I will make sure he dose his part”

I would not let her get a reaction out of me. I would also tell him if he dares discuss what’s gone on with you two when you ask (confront him) your done regardless of the pregnancy outcome.

I would 100% want her reaction to your response before flying off the handle.

@HellPro did you ever get to the bottom of this? Really hope you are ok.
