Navigating pregnancy after a relationship has ended can be tricky, but many people seem to make it work.
One woman thought she was going to have a tough time when she found out she was expecting after dating a man for only three months.
She claims they had called it quits and he’d already gone back to his ex-girlfriend when she discovered she was pregnant with twins.
Initially, she didn’t think he’d want much to do with the babies, but he was “ecstatic” as his partner has previously been told she’d never be able to get pregnant naturally and he’d always wanted to be a dad.
According to The Mirror, this all seemed fine, until the girlfriend started acting as if the children were hers and the mum-to-be was nothing more than a surrogate.
The unnamed woman explained all in a post on Reddit: “I dated a guy Joe for three months before he left me to go back to his ex. Right after we broke up, I found out I was pregnant and now I’m at 24 weeks. I let him know and he was ecstatic. Turns out his girlfriend had fertility issues and would likely never be able to get pregnant naturally and he has always wanted to be a father.”
“Getting back together was out of the question for both of us, so he’s still with his girlfriend.”
According to the ex, when he told his partner she had a mental breakdown about her infertility.
“I met them at their house, and she stated that she wanted to be involved in my pregnancy because she would eventually be the children’s stepmother.
“She started telling me that I needed to do a home birth, that I needed to formula feed so that they could have the babies half of the week, that she wanted one boy and one girl, and that she wanted the kids to call her mama since they would be calling me mommy.
“I shut her down and said I would make the best choices for my children,” said the woman.
