    You haven't confessed to him what you did, so that he can decide if he still wants to be with you.
    I would be devastated if my partner did that to me. i will never ever cheat again trust me.

    You acknowledge how you would feel if your partner ever cheated on you. I doubt very much that you would have chosen to have a child with him if he made this kind of confession to you.

    Is it fair on him that he knows nothing about this and is about to become a parent with someone who isn't who he thinks she is?

    I think you need to tell him and let him decide what he wants to do. Otherwise the lies just continue.
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

    Let's look at this from the other side - if your partner had made the posts that you have made and are making ......would you feel that you were in a stable relationship?????

    You are still fixating about your lover when you should be concentrating on the future of you, your baby and your OH

    i wouldnt be surprised if he did either.

    i want it fixed it was getting fixed i just dont know why im so bothered about his new mistress!!
    I think there's a chance that deep down you really don't love your OH enough.

    I think that's why you're so bothered about a guy who picks up women like a vacuum, regardless of their marital status.

    I do realise that he is obviously a seriel offender and that no doubt he will eventually cheat on her years down the line etc, but my problem is, even though i ended it, even though i know its wrong hes a waste of space and did the right thing (eventually) i now find myself really upset and jelous he is with someone else

    OP you do realise that this kind of guy only enters relationships for what he can get out of them dont you? He is not the type you could ever go the distance with, that would want to be a supportive life partner or more pertinent to your current situation would want to hook up with anyone who was having a child. That kind of responsibility and the necessity to put another young life before his own needs would be beyond him.

    Is he easier to put out of your mind and not being infatuated over when you look at him in that light?

    absolutely he is a liar and a cheat (i am too) but the difference with me is that i have stopped it and will never go there again. I made a brutal mistake i know this.

    How do you know you won't go there again, what will stop you, not much did before?

    You're really not any different to him.

    Sorry OP but it is coming across loud and clear that it is all about 'me,me,me' in your mind. Life does not work like that.
