I’ll first say I understand how i’m the “Bad,” guy here. But just looking for general advice(TL;DR at the bottom):
I was in a relationship with my ex for about 8 months, and it was a deeply intense love. It felt like one of those once-in-a-lifetime connections. Unfortunately, we met while she was still married with a child. Despite the circumstances, I didn't think much of it because it felt so right. Over those 8 months, I spent time with both her and her child, and we grew very close. My ex and I even discussed the possibility of marriage and having kids of our own. Keep in mind, during this period, she left her partner to be with me and moved in with her parents.
However, this past February, we ended things in a very difficult way. I spent the subsequent months rebuilding myself and striving to become a better version of who I am. Just two weeks ago, though, I found myself overcome by strong feelings and reached out to her, only to discover that she had actually gone back to her husband and that they're now expecting their second child together.
Learning this hit me hard, especially since she mentioned that she wished the child was mine. Despite all the progress I've made, hearing this news set me back emotionally. I'm proud of my successful career and the fact that I'll be moving into my first apartment soon. Life is generally improving, but I'm still stuck on this idea. At this point, it's becoming quite challenging, knowing that there's no longer any future possible. How do you continue moving forward? Have any of you experienced discovering that your ex was pregnant, and if so, how did you manage to overcome it?
TL;DR: Was in an intense 8-month relationship with a married woman who left her partner for me. We discussed marriage and kids. We broke up badly, and I worked on self-improvement. Recently found out she's back with her husband, expecting their second child. Struggling to move on despite career success and personal growth. Looking for advice on how to cope and move forward.

It’s getting to a point where I’m considering myself lucky when I get even that. I never would’ve imagined I’d be lucky to have sex once a month with my boyfriend(LL 23M) of 5 years who I LIVE with. It’s a vicious cycle. I get it once, and it just makes me crave it that much more. He thinks I’m some sex-crazed woman, but I’m just starving for intimacy.
