    You appear to have blamed the mother for this. If you can't see that it probably wasn't her fault at all, and she was trying to make the best of a dreadful situation when she probably most needed your support, then you're certainly the wrong man for her.

    Find someone with no baggage or history.

    May I say I get the feeling that a few of you who have replied to my request for advice appear to very hurt and angry individuals who I am only too pleased to not know on a personal level.
    You have no idea of the relationship I had with the other person involved ,other than the small glimpse I have told you .
    As I say advice was wanted NOT opinion

    You tell us what advice you are looking for and I'm sure someone can tell it straight back to you.
    If you haven't got it - please don't flaunt it. TIA.

    Given that any advice is inevitably going to be a reflection of the poster's opinion, it is difficult to distinguish between the two.
    I'm a retired employment solicitor. Hopefully some of my comments might be useful, but they are only my opinion and not intended as legal advice.

    Could you ever accept that apart from your girlfriend it would now also be a 15 year old, a little baby and possibly her boyfriend.

    If you cannot live with that, then definitely don't make contact.

    You sound like a self opinionated control freak, if you don't mind me saying so, and even if you do mind.
    By the way, that is opinion and not advice
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    Hopefully any contact you make is met with a response telling you where to go!

    Move on (this part is advice :) ). With any luck she already has.

    No probably not wise, but nor was splitting up by text and wrecking your phone.

    Should you move on? Re-phrase that as Can I move on?

    Then you have your answer as to whether you should re contact or not. Then it is up to her whether she tells you to !!!! off or welcomes you back with open arms.
