One of the women I've met recently said something that I thought was interesting. When the topic of her most recent ex came up, she referred to him as "the father of my son" rather than my ex. I've never heard that said before.
I don't know, but something struck me about that. Did it have some special meaning? Like she's trying to distance herself from him? Something else? It could also have no meaning I suppose - reading too deep into things, don't give it a second thought, etc. She's got to call him something I suppose, why not that.
Yeah, like it invalidates or deletes the relationship history they had. That's the vibe I got.
Like "me and him were never together" yet I have a son.
Perhaps.
But, also remember that you, a potential new relationship interest, is the audience here. This may also have been her way of saying to you, "don't worry about me going back to him".
I'd say don't read too much into it at this point. If there's anything else to it, I'm sure you'll find out soon enough.
If the father of her son was a one-night stand, a fling, or otherwise someone she didn't really have a relationship with,
"ex" wouldn't fit anyway. "Ex" is either "ex-husband" or "ex-boyfriend," not "ex-guy I had sex with occasionally."

It seems better than "the sperm donor," which I've heard several women call their exes.

Ive heard that label, too. What it really means is that she made a huge mistake.
My impression is that she's making the distinction that he is no one to her, but is her child's father. It distances her from whatever relationship they once had.
