    I can't understand why he didn't talk it through with yvonne and explain his reasoning before telling the ex.
    Maybe because like OP, he lost it after the ex was yet again having a go at him and shouted it in anger hoping the message would then pass.

    I agree that your reaction is very self-centered, however, pregnancy hormones does do this to you. Calm down, talk to him and say that you do appreciate that it must hard for him, that you wish he had waited to say anything to her, but understand why he did it, and that in the scale of things, you are very lucky that he loves you and you'll soon be sharing a baby together.

    I also agree that you do need to work on your insecurities. I remember your posts from years ago and they have always polluted your life. You have now all you've ever wanted, don't ruin it with your issues with insecurity. Go and speak with a counsellor.

    Nice explanation - but it doesn't sound to me like that's what happened:

    I shouted at him today and demanded to know why he had to tell her. His responce was he thought she would finally get the message and stop contacting him if she knew. I don't agree and think he should've just ignored her.
    Maybe you've read something different into it.

    My pregnacy wasn't public knowledge. We agreed to wait until I felt comfortable then we were going to tell our parents first.

    This would would better posted in the first post, as I read it and thought the same if public knowledge who cares.

    They have a history and he told her. Perhaps, as a result she and your partner will move on with their respective lives.
