I ghosted a guy because I thought my boyfriend was cheating on me and I got pregnant with the guy I ghosted, and I came clean to him and now we’re getting married

I dated my ex for 8 years. I was 19 when we met and we were going to get married when I turned 25. While I was with my ex we had an open relationship for two years. I still loved him, and of course I didn’t want to lose him, so I agreed, thinking it was just a phase and he would eventually get over it.<br><br>Well, he never did. While he did have a lot of one night stands with girls, I didn’t really date or get with anyone else. It was a little intimidating to put myself out there and start seeing other men, and I still jointly owned a business with my ex. So it was a little weird. I did have one other guy that I would occasionally meet up with, it was just a purely physical thing and we both agreed on that, he was married too. He came to town once every few months for work, so it worked out well, he was just a consistent guy to hang out with and have some fun. I did have one other guy that I talked to for a while, but it didn’t work out.<br><br>I met my now fiancé while I still had the open relationship with my ex. My now fiancé came to town for work, and we matched. We talked for several days and then met up. We had an amazing time together and I never wanted it to end. I felt like I had known him for years even though we just met. He was the only guy I ever hung out with more than one time. We met up, then he asked me to come visit him where he lived a few states away. I did, and we spent a weekend together, and I think I might have fallen in love with him during that weekend. We talked for a few months, until he had to move to another state for his job. They didn’t want to pay for travel for him anymore. He wanted me to come live with him. I didn’t tell him that my ex and I were breaking up, I just told him I had to sell my house. The day after Christmas in 2021 my ex and I decided we were going to go our own ways. I immediately told my now fiancé that I had broken up with my ex and I would come live with him. I moved in with him and a few months later I was pregnant with our daughter. When I found out I was pregnant, I told him everything. About how my ex and I broke up, how when we had the open relationship I met him, and how I thought my ex was seeing someone else so I decided to not see him anymore. I told him I was sorry for not telling him the truth. He said he understood and that he was just happy to start a family of our own together. We didn’t have a lot of money at the time, and my now fiancé had just started his own business working for himself. He was able to provide for us, but I still had a lot of debt to pay off from the business with my ex, plus all the debt from closing that business like loans and credit cards and stuff. But we’re getting by a lot better now. We’re getting married this fall :)
