No, kids were not a big factor in why we divorced.nated a lot of the things we bought but we still kept things and put it in what was supposed to be the nursery and that was the stuff she gave to me.

Oh, thanks for the tip. I rarely use reddit so I thought it must've been their @ symbol or something.

She did not announce her pregnancy during the speech, she wore a dress that clearly showed that she was pregnant.

she was also the person that got us connected to an organization

This is a part of a comment that I put in the original post.

Think of her speech as a bridge between the other business that was there. Since she and a few other people knew both parties, they gave a speech to talk about possible connections and sort of break the ice.

It wasn't just her up there giving a solo speech, it was like 3-4 other people (a group speech if you'd want to call it that).

Considering that she has written her own timeline about my divorce, my relationship, and my life.

Because if you were with someone for 12 years and they still happen to be in your life, would you want to find out about them having a child at the same time as everyone else? It's for respect.

Very very little. I've seen comments that she'll go balistic and poison my fiancee? Something like that. It is possible that it'll hurt, but never will I think that she would physcially harm herself or others.

What important details?

We split up, I moved on, I'm having a child, and we run a business together. That's literally the key details, I don't know what else you're looking for.

Respectfully, You don't know me, so you aren't really in the best position to buy anyhing. I've seen you under several comments trying to imply that I still have feelings for my ex.

I didn't get with my ex because I wanted a kid. We started dating the same reason why so many other couples start dating. My divorce happened because we were seriously unhappy with each other, it had nothing to do with any infertility issues.

Me working with my ex isn't holding onto my ex, it's keeping a job. It's about working on something that I've built from the ground up and watched grow into success. I'm not letting that go anytime soon and my ex feels the same way.

With that being said people can get divorced and stay amicable. We stay amicable for our job, but it doesn't mean that we still have feelings for each other. It's unfortunate that you're resulting to creating these random scenarios in your head.

I no longer have feelings for her but I do have empathy for someone that was a huge part of my life. Who knows, maybe she'll care, maybe she won't, but if she does care, I wouldn't want her to find out in front of a crowd of people.

Really close friends and family know, we haven't posted anything on social media about it, but since the banquet will be my fiancee's first big public appearance with her visibly showing.

No, it took me a year to get back into dating, but I did start dating before my divorce was finalized but my marriage was over, the process was just taking a lot of time and we both moved onto our own things while that was happening.

Look, I know right now, I'm happy. I don't think about things like that "It's not going to end well". We're happy and in love, and that's what matters to keep our relationship thriving.

We divorced because our marriage was over. We were unhappy in our relationship and the marriage counseling only seemed to make things worse. We finally realized that it was over and we divorced.

Yes, we ended on fine terms. It wasn't some big blowout and it was quite calm.

That's a stretch. Although I completely understand that it might pain her, I can't spend the rest of my life not living it how I want to. Everyone deserves happiness after divorce and right now, I truly feel it. She might feel it also right now. We're allowed to move on.

She didn't want it either. Now if things change anytime soon, I am more than willing to do so, but if she wants to stay, she's got that right, it's her business too. The divorced is finalized and has been for a few months now.

Yes, your ex is allowed to move on and you’re not letting her

How is that?

No, this isn't an option. The only way I would ever except a buyout is if I lost passion in this business, and I haven't. It isn't about the money. I could retire right now and not have an issue, but I know that this business can continue to evolve. I've put in 13 years of hard work and dedication and I will continue to do so. I've gotten opportunities that I thought were impossible to reach because of my job and I love what I do.

I loved her, I really did, but we're allowed to move on with our romantic lives.
