… You are aware pregnancy can happen outside of marriage, yes? Like fertility doesn’t only kick in once you’re legally married.

Absolutely and usually that could be a girlfriend and based on the reply it may seem like it wasn’t a girlfriend either so it seems like the mother could have been a friend of whatever relationship they had or currently have

It seemed easier and less wordy then saying "The woman I was dating for 4 years, went on to have a child with, then break up with for 6 years, and get back together with a couple days ago."... I dunno... Maybe that would have gotten point of the story across better.

I understand what you said, but since people are complaining, you could use "partner" or "ex-partner" I guess. What you said works perfectly already though.

What if it was a one night stand and she refused to abort. That's not an ex anything.

Or someone who’d been a fwb or something, people still have sex outside being in a relationship.

Not confusing at all, some people are just dumb as fuck. Really “why not say wife or girlfriend” if people spent two seconds thinking they’d realize that it most likely didn’t apply
