The side chick & I are both pregnant

Kya

My boyfriend and I have been together for a little over a year. About 4 months ago he and I got into a huge argument, in which he stormed out of the house, returning earlier the following morning. We made up, worked through our issue and found common ground.

Now fast-forward to present day and we are expecting our first child together. We are so excited.

But turns out 4 months ago when he left the house after our argument , returning early the following morning , he was with another woman. Who is now also pregnant.

Of course to me, he cheated. According to him , when he left the house that night we were on a break. What?

At this time we are not together. I can’t get over the betrayal nor the justification of the betrayal. My boyfriend has never given me a reason to worry about other women during our relationship. I’ve always felt extremely secure. What is also bothering me though is that for him to have had unprotected sex with this woman so easily , the relationship had to be preexisting. So while i thought i never had to worry about other women , clearly I should have been worried.

He’s insisting that we reconcile and make this work. Especially now that a child is involved. I asked him if he was stupid because 2 children and 2 women are involved. How are you making thing work with her? Because I’m not into that sister wives shit.

I do well for myself and so does the father. Our child will not want for anything and I don’t think we need to be together in order to be great parents and role models.

The other woman and I have not had any communication and I don’t feel like we need to.

Overall this is a shit situation and my boyfriend or ex boyfriend I should say is at the helm.

How would you guys handle this?
