Ok, maybe I'm sticking my nose in too far but what else can I do when my ex tells me this stuff??

Back in June, on Father's Day, ex told me his GF is pregnant. I was sad, mad, and sickened. He did not look happy and said, I think she lied to me about her BCP. I have not seen her take them since April. Part of me wanted to smack him upside the head and say, well if you haven't seen the pills the entire time you've been living together and you dont want anymore kids, then why didn't you wrap it?? The other part of me was pissed at his GF for lying to him, trapping him. A week later, he tells me she lost the baby. Then yesterday, he confides in me and says, she hasn't been on BCP since she lost the baby, nearly a month ago. He's upset and pissed. He has refrained from having sex with her (so he claims). He said they have been fighting about it all week. She said she will call her dr but he doesn't know if she has or not.

I'm pissed! This chick has blantally disrespected his wishes. He doesn't want any more kids at this time and knows he can't afford another one. His two and her one are enough. She lied to him about the BCP. I want to shake him so bad and tell him that she needs to go! But I dont know if he would listen to me. I have yet to have the chance at a real conversation with him that is not interuptted by kids, work or the respective others.

any advice?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you did say ex? And you're asking what else can you do?

You say, "That sound terrible. buh-bye". *click*.

I have no idea why you are internalizing an issue that doesn't concern you directly so much.

So to answer the question "any adivce?"

Yeah, "butt out, and let the chips fall where they may". He has to live with the consequences of his poor choices. The sun has set on where his issues are your issues.
