Amadeus, is this a pattern in your 4-years together, in which one of you says something and the other *reacts* rather than responds, leading to hurt on one or both sides? Also, is being right worth it at the expense of feeling related to the mother of your beloved child?

It sounds like you wouldn't mind having a good relationship with her again, and maybe even reconcile with her. Whether or not you stay together, wouldn't it be nice to start working on productive communication now, for everyone's best interest?

Good luck; you're in a tough spot. But you also have a lot of power.
