Would you continue to date your partner if the person they were dating when you were broken up was still in their life?




This will be a long story so please be patient..

I'm a lesbian and I'm 22. I've been dating my girlfriend for 4 years.. we recently broke up due to me not changing my ways and not appreciating her as much. So after my ex left me, she started dating another woman a week after our break up. She met the woman at her job and the WOMAN is actually pregnant by another man(she's bisexual and 7 months pregnant now). When me and my ex were still together, the woman came onto my ex after my ex told her she was already in a relationship and then the pregnant woman "snuck" and got my exes phone number behind her back.. So that's why when me and my ex broke up, the pregnant woman called her and they've been dating ever since..

My ex asked the pregnant one to be her gf after them dating for 3 weeks and my ex even thought she was in love with this woman. They dated for 2 days before my ex broke it off because she "realized" she was still in love with me. So my ex told me they have been "friends" ever since.

Fast forward a couple weeks(1.5 month in total) my ex was talking about getting back with me and I'm ALLL for showing her I've changing and treating her the way she deserves to be treated... BUT the problem is.. my ex has gotten attached to the pregnant woman and her child(which hurts because I wanted a family with my ex sooo bad). The pregnant woman is currently using my exes car because she doesn't have a car at all, she's also using OUR washer and dryer(me and my ex still live together) and she's always calling my EX to meet her at the hospital and my ex is staying the night at her house everyday to make sure she's ok. The baby father isn't in the pregnant woman's child's life. The pregnant woman has all these friends she claims to have and family there for her so why does when something happen she's calling my ex.. Anyway.. my question is..

Should I continue to make it work with my ex if the pregnant woman AND HER CHILD will always be in our lives? My ex states she'll only see the child "once or twice a month" but I doubt that'll happen because my ex has a huge heart and will do anything she can for anyone. I know the pregnant woman will be calling her every chance she gets for my ex to be around. My ex has only known this pregnant woman for 1.5 months.. This isn't even my exes child and she's doing everything for them... I want to make it work with my ex but how can I do that when this woman and her child(I've never met the woman by the way) will ALWAYS be here? My ex has already been dating this woman, had sex with her, etc but now that they are "friends", do the feelings just go away?? Please help.

Nope, I would not continue to date that person. Why not? Because you, personally, are saddled with a third party. Even if everything is utterly innocent, you have a third party horning in on your life.

You owe nothing to this third party (the pregnant woman). Your ex is behaving exceptionally unfairly trying to get you to somehow have an obligation to include the third party, particularly considering the history the ex has with her.

I would tell 'em all to take a hike.

@Sweetiepie352,
That's a lot of drama for everyone.

Start by moving out.

You need your own place - get used to being independent.

Let your ex and her new ex sort their own thing out.

If you and your ex want to try being friends and start fresh, give it a chance. Be friends, not romantic partners.

Get on with your life while your former partner deals with her relationship with her new ex.

You're way too young to be caught up in the middle of all that. Don't encourage the drama and don't be part of it. It doesn't do anyone any good.
