Maybe there's a lot of backstory that other folks her are familiar with and I'm not, because I'm new, but something seems off, to me.

Imagine if a woman posted. Her ex, who cheated on her, has now apologised and said she is his soul mate, he wants to get back together. Then, a week later, he discovers that his new partner is pregnant, and he tells his ex this.

Would you all be so hard on that guy as you are on this woman?

You should thank your lucky star that baby isn't yours and a cheater is no longer in your life. Consider yourself lucky. Now go out there and find yourself a good, honest, faithful woman.

You should thank your lucky stars you said "NO" to the 2nd chance.

This is the same girl who tried to kill herself a few times? You definitely dodged one here and I feel sorry for the new guy. It most likely is another false pregnancy though.

Yep, tried to kill herself twice , about a year apart.

The first last year when I confronted her with printouts of what online guy was sending her and demanded she end it, then about 2 months ago when she was down and depressed.

She had the scans done, this one isn't ectopic. The one we almost had was, ruptured, and almost killed her. Apparently this one is progressing fine. I'm taking that as a sign we weren't meant to ultimately be together...

Feeling like I'm missing something, comes from - ever since I was 17 until early last year (I'll be 28 soon), I thought she would be the mother of my kids. I'll probably cry and be a bit emotional seeing pics of her with the baby, but then I'll stop, the feelings will pass and I'll be done.

We can both be civil and remain friends (or friendly). Life's too short to waste being upset and holding grudges.

This woman is not playing with a full deck. Be glad she's out of her life. It sounds romantic and all with a baby but you need a reality check. Babies are lots of work expense lost sleep, relationship black holes. Being married with 2 stable sensible people is the best situation from which to tackle this project, not with someone like your ex.

You will get over her. And find a woman that is right for you.

I don't agree with the first part of this. You are only recently divorced, you should not be having any contact with her at all. That distance helps us emotionally to move on and start healing. I agree life is too short to be upset and hold grudges but this doesn't preclude you from not vesting any time or energy into maintaining any kind of relationship at all with this manipulative, emotionally disturbed ex of yours.

I think you dodged an 18 year long bullet with a very painful, emotionally draining future.
