    I suspect it's inextricably linked with their daring to expect something of the person who has done the laying on top when he starts pretending he was tricked (or tripped) into her repeatedly without clothes or a condom.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Have you looked at her facebook profile? Do you know any mums from the playground of the school her kids go to?

    I know others are saying to just wait, but I think if it were me I'd want to know if my children were going to get a sibling, even if she's currently saying that he'll never see the baby.

    So now you are suggesting that the x wife stalks the new woman, oh dear.

    Can we not just have respect for other peoples privacy.

    I was also thinking the same. I was also thinking, why should it matter to the ex?

    I was bemoaning the nutter ex of one of my exes on a forum once and a very wise woman advised me to ditch him or I would be the woman he was calling a nutter to his next girlfriend.

    I ignored her and sure enough she was right :rotfl:

    It's something she could do if she's desperate to know whether her kids will have a sibling, or if her ex's maintenance is going to be reduced due to an extra child being born (although it doesn't sound as if they've actually split up).

    I think I would want to know if it were me, but I take your point about her privacy and I have to say I'd be angry at HIM, not her. What on earth was he thinking, having unprotected sex so soon after a break-up. Producing extra siblings with somebody you're not even in a stable relationship with is a horrible thing to do to your existing children. If he's still looking for someone new he needs, to quote Jeremy Kyle, to 'put something on the end of it'.

    Because they have children together, and any child resulting from his having unprotected sex is a potential sibling to those children. Also, if he is going to pay maintenance then I think that it would reduce if it had to be split between two mothers.

    Probably the same reason that so many men become complete and utter b@st@rds of one kind or another....

    I can understand your point but strongly object to this kind of stalking to obtain private information. What will be will be, finding out now will not alter it!

    My main objection though is the manipulation of this man of these women, who just don't get it!

    They simply don't understand that they are being used as it is described as helping a 'best friend'. So sad!

    If her facebook is public then I wouldn't call it stalking. Messaging people who know her would be stalking.

    I'd want to know - maybe I'm just impatient.

    I agree that he is manipulating the OP into seeing this woman as a bad person, whereas the reality for her might be very different.
