Am I over reacting?
Show your support
His ex is obviously well out of order but as he’s come to you and been honest about it, unless he’s agreeing with her which it doesn’t sound like he is, I wouldn’t worry too much. Her regrets are her problem.
How did he respond when she said that to him? I know if it were my partner, firstly out of respect he wouldnt have even engaged in conversation with her. At most a “hi” “bye” to be polite. If he engaged to the extent your partner did and didnt immediately react negatively to her saying “it should have been me” then that is unacceptable. The only positive out of this is really that he told you. He is transparent and was honest and that is something better than him keeping it from you. I am 8 months pp and still feel crappy so our insecurities dont help. I would express this to him at least?
It's her loss. She's just redirecting the attention back to herself by saying that to your man to catch his attention.
Why react? How sad is her life that she has to say that to an ex bf. Just let it go, there's some things in life not worth worrying about.
Thanks for all the POVs He said he laughed it off. Thinking about it, I think it’s just a wake up call to try and get back to a point where I like what I see in the mirror. I think the comment just took me back to a failed induction, an energy c section, 5 days in hospital with both me and baby on antibiotics, loss of appetite, sciatica, back pain, hair loss and body changes Maybe if I can over come most of it, her comment won’t bother me so much
Him coming home and being honest about it all is a good sign, tbh I wouldn’t be worried. I would be ANNOYED at the audacity of the woman but not worried
What an inappropriate thing to say but also I can’t believe he told you but then at least he’s transparent. Also think it’s more a reflection on her that she doesn’t seem to of moved on.
It's shitty behaviour from her but your partner didn't do anything wrong here. It's good that he told you! I don't think you have anything to worry about and this isn't a reflection on you. It's not even really about you at all!
It’s a shitty thing for this woman to say. But I don’t think your partner is at fault here - he told you about it, and showing someone a photo of your baby if they ask doesn’t seem like an issue. The only issue here is what the other woman said, which he had no control over. Unless he then agreed with her he probably didn’t know what to say either. You’re entitled to your feelings especially pp as hormones are all over the place, but I don’t think there’s anything here that needs reacting to unless your partner said or did something you haven’t mentioned here.
