It doesn't say that the ex is an ex wife. the only mention of a wife is OP's current partner.

Who said OP's ex is an ex wife? She is probably an ex girlfriend

well, considering he said that it was his WIFE that believed it, I'm fairly certain that the ex is just that, an ex. You can't be married to two people at the same time (except maybe in Utah)

Why? Tony Benn proposed to his wife 9 days after meeting her and they were married until her death 51 years later. If people love each other it doesn't matter. I'd be more worried about how stupid OP's wife sounds, unless she suspects he cheated on her with his ex.

If you married a woman you now think is a dimwit AND you did so < 1yr after seeing your ex, that's a stronger case for "you move too fast" than "they really love each other".

Except you don't know any of that. A two line FML is not enough to judge their entire relationship and marriage.

You're right, I don't know the OP. Nor do you. If that were a requirement, the comments section wouldn't exist. These are *anonymous posts by random strangers*. I argued that the OP, who right in the FML calls his wife a dimwit, doesn't "really love her". I am pretty clear on that point, and if you aren't, that says more about you than me. This certainly is not some fantastical case where they're crazy about each other, as you posed. I'll still take my incomplete narrative over yours, which is blatantly false on face. Thumb me down if you want.

OP only said that he hadn't seen the ex in over a year. That doesn't mean they hadn't been broken up longer than that. I've seen my ex in the past two years, but it's been 7 years since we broke up.

It's called trust, relationships should be built on it. I wouldn't give it a second chance if my partner didn't trust me. Get rid of her if this is the case, wife or not.

Like the OP said, they haven't been in the same room for over a year. His wife should be smart enough to put two and two together.

except his wife doesnt know that for certain. unless theyre together 100% of the time he could easily have seen her while they werent together sometime. its not even remotely dimwitted to think he cheated in this circumstance, in fact its the logical conclusion. and for all we know he has a history of cheating, and therefore her thoughts would definitely not be unreasonable. im in the happiest relationship ive ever had. i trust my guy and i know he loves me. but if a girl called and said she was pregnant with his kid, it would definitely cause doubts and wed have to discuss it. and if he called me dimwitted for thinking its possibly true, i dont think hed be my boyfriend anymore. not down with being called stupid for making a logical conclusion.

Brilliant! I agree 100%
