Boyfriend keeps contacting his ex?

Anonymous
My boyfriend and I have been together for almost ten years and even have a 7yr old kid. We started dating a year or so after he broke up with his girlfriend of 4yrs.
They started talking a year into our relationship over texts and calls, on and off for years, I later found out. It wasn't until two years ago that I found out that their talking had turned physical and that he had been sleeping with her for about two months. When I confronted him about it, he said the girl was the one who always reached out to him and ended the whole thing. We even moved in together an hour away, since I didn't feel comfortable having him so close to her - she lived a few blocks away from him.
Two months ago, I found out that they were talking again and that he was the one who started reaching out, finding her number on his niece's phone. He's been having these long conversations with her, and has texted that he misses her and didn't mean all the things he had said to her. He even suggested they have a weekend away together to bond, even saying that he would have me go visit my mother so that she can come to 'their' apartment.
I'm just so hurt and devastated and that's not even the worst. Apparently, before I had found out about the affair, he had offered that they find a place together, and had she not refused, they would be living together with a child on the way, because he's always wanted a baby with her.
I just don't know what to think or do... 😢
