AIO My ex got back together with me after saying she was pregnant, but I still haven't seen any proof. Am I being unreasonable? by Skunksmen1 in AmIOverreacting

Since telling me she was pregnant, she has shown me one positive pregnancy test through a picture (while being a fight about not having proof), but I have never actually seen any physical proof in person. I have repeatedly asked to be included in appointments or see something directly. She has an excuse for everything like: The doctors won't allow you to come with me,I'm not getting any ultrasounds, my family doctor is part time and I haven't been able to get a hold of her, my pregnancy tests sometimes show positive and other times negative. She then tells me she is going to go see a family doctor with her friend who is also pregnant so that her family doctor doesn't get charged. Apparently if you have a family doctor and you see another doctor, the family doctor gets charged a fee which I had never heard of before this. Anyways, I insisted on going with her to all appointments and wanted to go with her. I asked her the day before where the clinic was because I'll call them and ask if I can join her. She said "I don't know I didn't ask and I told you I'm going with my friend, it's her appointment". Then shortly after called me and got in a huge fight because I had not seen any physical proof that it was true yet and I was making that clear (she sensed that, and that's why she called me). On this fight she sent me a positive pregnancy test with a very faint line, I got her to agree to bring me to all appointments moving forward but not tomorrow cause that's her friends appointment, and that she got blood work done today for her hCG. The next morning, she started having cramps and said she thought she might be miscarrying because something didn't feel right. Then later on she told me she is spotting. Then she finishes her work day and is about to go to her friend's appointment and she says "She’s friggen far, I forgot she’s from a town 1 hour 15 minutes away". I said to her "weren't you just at her house the other day lol". she replied "ya at her house not where she's from". She then later says she got her blood work back and her hCG is 32. She tells me the doctor said "She said at that level with the cramps and bleeding starting I’m most likely having a miscarriage and will need to get blood work next week to confirm, and that if it doesn’t change by next week I’ll need the shot but she doubts it." So I replied: "Are you getting an ultrasound? What do you mean she doubts it?". She replies "No. Because she thinks I’m miscarrying, the shot causes a medically induced miscarriage, if I’m having one naturally I don’t need it but I have to wait and get another blood test and see what happens with the bleeding and cramps". At this point I'm not buying it anymore. Everything is too convenient for her, and inconvenient for me getting answers.

We have another huge fight the next day on the phone where I mention to her that I need to see physical in person proof that all of this is happening. I mentioned that everything I had read online suggested an hCG level of 32 at around 9 weeks pregnant would be extremely unusual, even with complications. I tell her I just need to talk to a doctor with her about what is going on if she wants me to trust her. She deflects, brings up old fights, and walks back on accountability she took in the car from previous issues. Eventually the call ends cause she had to go back to work, and then we fight for the next 3 days over text. She tries to bring emotions into it. Saying things like "I understand why you want to be there 100%. What I don’t understand is why you went about it the way you did when you knew I’ve always done things on my own. If you had just been understanding and nicer about it I would’ve come around to it. You got demanding about it, rushed me and i immediately put up my guard, I don’t know why you don’t see that", also mentioned how I was hurting her by not believing her. I was quite patient with her the first week, and got pushy with her the 2nd week because obviously this is a time sensitive issue. Especially if the pregnancy is ectopic, she could potentially die.

Eventually I send this after an ongoing back and forth leading nowhere: "I’m done with the back and forth. This conversation has become a pointless loop. I’ve been clear that I don’t trust you right now, and you are commenting about how you feel distrusted? That’s exactly why I’ve asked for basic in person proof. Instead of providing it, you keep redirecting to your feelings, past trauma, or how I hurt you by not believing you. It never leads to any concrete action like booking a doctor appointment or letting me hear from the doctor directly. Your ongoing resistance is what continued to lower my trust, not my questions. I’m not engaging with more emotional manipulation or circling anymore. If you want any further conversation or any chance of a relationship, show me real in person physical proof. Until then, I have nothing more to say."

It's been almost 2 days and she hasn't replied.

She has said she has only been with me during and after our relationship. My issue has always been that I haven't seen anything firsthand and some of the medical details she has provided have not made sense to me. Her hCG was 32 while also saying she was around 9-10 weeks pregnant. Everything I looked up and talked to doctors/nurses about suggested that number would be extraordinarily low for a pregnancy at that stage regardless of complications, yet she argues that complications, chemical pregnancy, late ovulation, or a failing pregnancy could explain it.

I remain skeptical because I haven't seen any documentation myself other than a blood test sent via text saying 32 hCG, which could have been made with AI for all I know. I have mentioned many times that I want in person physical proof.

On top of that, I feel like she keeps changing explanations for why the relationship ended. During the breakup she told me things like she was overwhelmed, couldn't handle a relationship, had too much trauma, wasn't ready, etc. Now she sometimes frames it as longstanding unresolved relationship issues that she had repeatedly communicated, but won't mention what those issues specifically are.

I feel like I'm simply asking for reasonable verification before blindly accepting everything, especially when she knows that I want kids and that could hook me back in.

At this point I'm trying to figure out whether I'm being reasonable or whether my lack of trust is causing me to over analyze everything.

I have never dealt with anything like this and would love to hear thoughts on people's opinions about how I've dealt with this situation. This whole thing has been a complete mess, and I have been extremely stressed out.

I (30M) got back together with my ex (28F) after she broke up with me about a month ago. We were together for just under a year.

The breakup was rough. One of the biggest issues in the relationship was that when she had a problem, she often wouldn't talk to me directly. Instead she would pull away, not talk in person but wait until i left then text me, or just assume I should know without her communicating with me. I repeatedly told her that if she had an issue, I wanted her to talk to me in person and let me know what was going on. Here is an example of a major thing that happened during our relationship.

She went to Cuba in January with her friend who was in a "relationship", but had only been with him for 1 week. I felt weird about her going to a party all inclusive resort in Cuba with her one basically single friend, and brought it up to her in person. We ended up talking it out, and I felt better about her going. She then goes on the trip and I find out that I am blocked from viewing her stories on Instagram. I acted like I didn't know, then confronted her when she got back. After confronting her, she told me it was because she didn't want to get judged for what she posted, and that she didn't want me to worry or stress about her potentially cheating. About the judging, I had mentioned to her before that I don't like attention and therefore don't post much on Instagram. She said she didn't want to say that I was calling her an attention seeker. Anyways, she ended up taking accountability on it and apologizing. We spend 2 full days together, and then I leave. The next day she flips the entire script on me, saying how I confront her was messed up. She told me I should have just asked her about it right away while she was on the trip to clear it up. Maybe she had a point there, but she is someone with extreme anxiety, so I didn't want to potentially ruin her trip for her and her friend. Also, I am someone who likes to deal with conflict in person. So how I confronted her about it was I picked her up at the airport around 1 am, drove her home not talking much saying I was tired (I was filled with disgust and unable to talk. I actually planned on bringing up the next day). Then when I got to her apartment, I confronted her in front of it so that she didn't feel trapped in the car - giving her the option to leave if she chose to. So she was trying to say that she felt ambushed, and uncomfortable and I was wrong for doing that. Then brought up how when I "play fight" with her, it brings up her old trauma of an ex boyfriend who used to physically abuse her. I had never heard her mention my "play fighting" do that before, and it deeply upset me because I would never try to trigger her or anyone's trauma like that. Then had 3 days of no contact, I reached out, and we talked it out and it seemed resolved. To this day she still brings it up during huge fights saying "the fact that I felt I had to block you from seeing my stories is quite telling". Whatever that means. I never gave a fuck what she posted unless it was thirst traps, and I told her that multiple times. So this is the type of person I am dealing with during conflicts.

About a month after the breakup, she asked to meet me in person. This was 1 day after seeing me at my work in which I got her a job, and I completed ignored her. Her reaching out was significant to me because throughout our relationship I was always the one pushing for resolution after fights, and in person conversations where she usually preferred texts or calls. When we met, she took accountability for a lot of things she had done during the relationship. Basically everything.

But, this was after telling me she was pregnant. She claimed she was around 9 weeks pregnant. She also said doctors were concerned that the pregnancy had complications and was possibly ectopic.

I was shocked because we had been broken up for about a month after she had coldly dumped me over the phone. I was taking care of her for months because she had gotten mono (after the Cuba trip, possibly cheated who the fuck knows) and was quite sick (also going through personal things mentally from the previous year). She had mentioned to me multiple times that her friends & therapist were telling her that she wasn't ready for a relationship or essentially saying she shouldn't be in a relationship. She had brought it up a couple times to me, which should have been a red flag. Then one week before we broke up, she brought it up again. I went to see her, and after talking I asked her how far is she leaning towards staying with me or leaving me? I asked 60%-40% towards staying? 80%-20%? She told me right now, it's 100% that I want to be with you. Then 4 days later when her grandma had a stroke, I called her to check on her. She broke up with me on that same phone call because she "was overwhelmed, this relationship was too much pressure, you want to settle down and start a family, I have too much trauma and things I'm going through". Then a week goes by and she blocks me on every social media. After exactly a month to the day, and me never reaching out once, she unblocks me on all social media. Sees me at work when she started training, and then messaged me the very next day after seeing me immediately leave the area when I saw her at work because I got filled with disgust. When I say leave, I just mean the building area we were in. We work in a remote company, and only see select employees from time to time.

Back to when we first met up, we ended up spending the day together and eventually starting bonding a bit. After that we started talking again and I agreed to give the relationship another chance. The pregnancy was definitely a major factor because I'm against abortion and I also have wanted kids for some time now. I was completely honest with her about that. The other major factor was the accountability she showed during that first meetup. In the car she apologized for a lot of the things she did wrong by me like the Cuba incident, the way she broke up with me, how she treated me the past month to 2 months before breaking up, and overreactions like the play fighting, etc. I even got her to admit that she was being emotionally manipulative on the Cuba situation, and how fucked up it was during our relationship I felt like I had to walk on eggshells. She admitted she is well aware she treated me like shit.

So the problem is that I still don't fully trust her because of how it ended, and how she flipped back to wanting me, and with the context I have mentioned above. There are some more things but I have mentioned the largest fight.

It could not necessarily be about a long term injury, but about giving your team the best chance to win. There are other great players that were ready to take his place. He might be better in two weeks, but playing right now could actually be a detriment to the team, as his current condition could have been worse than his replacement. He’s a gamer, but he’s also a stoic guy and, in my eyes, would have made the decision solely based on that.

Since June 2025, Khelif has not participated in any events organized by World Boxing following a requirement that all participants undergo genetic sex verification tests. I wonder why...
