Q: What Would You Do?
asked by: Becky on April 30th, 2007

If you split up with your husband/partner who you had a child with and you were still on friendly terms and he saw the child/ren regular, in a few months/years if you decided you wanted another child- would you have one with your ex if he wanted one too and you were both single (but with no intentions of ever getting back together)?

just wondering.... Laughing

i can't see how it would turn ugly if it was an amicable break up and you were both still good friends....

no no and no.
if you break up - you break up for a reason.
if he's worth having more kids with - then he's worth getting back with.

i really don't think that would be a good idea at all. kia's right.. if he's worth having a baby with, he's worth being in a relatioinship with. it could turn ugly really quickly with financial situations & custody rights.

Yeah I would because I would like all my children to have the same Dad. Only if the ex and I were on good terms though, of course. Sometimes you can break up but still care deeply for the person and still have them in your lives.

I third that!!!

Just because the couple may be on good terms now, doesn't mean they will stay that way. (while, I understand the same can be said for a couple that is together, it is much more difficult to get out of a relationship then to simply not return a phone call.) What happens if the new girlfriend/boyfriend isn't okay with the situation. I personally, would never date someone that had a planned baby with his ex while they were not together. To me there has to be feelings/emotions/love for two people to plan a baby (I understand it is not necessary. JMO) I would always think that there were strong feelings there and always be worried if he would leave me for her or cheat on me with her. Plus, how could I compete with a woman that meant so much to him he wanted her to have his children even if they weren't together?

I understand that this is a very closed minded opinion, but that's all it is, an opinion.

i think i would have to agree. although, i'm not completely sure because i'm not in that situation.

I would just like all my children to have the same father(as long as he's a great dad Wink ).

It depends on the people that are in the relationship...or lack thereof. Yeah, all your children having the same father is a good thing...but bringing a child into a broken home intensionally isn't that grand of an idea. but seening as how i am not in the situation and never could be, i cannot really answer the question...sorry becks.

yeah you guys might be on good terms now and all friendly but the stress of another child could easily mess that up.

If you split up with him to begin with, there was a reason. Just because you do already have children together, doesn't mean your relationship can withstand the pressures of having another.

I have a good friend who married the same man twice. And divorced him twice too. She kicks herself for that because she knew when she divorced him the first time it wasn't a 'good' relationship - yet she married him again.
