Finding Time for Each Other, Affairs & Jealousy, Getting on Better with my Partner

I have been with my fiance for 5 and half years, we have a 4 year old daughter and last year I had 4 miscarriages which wasn't a very good year. My fiance and I (unknown to me), were drifting apart because of the pressur and he developed a friendly relationship with a gil at work. This was 5 months ago. This friendly releationship, the shoulder to cry on became a bit stronger and I found out, before anything serious happened, he said he ended it. Then I found out it hadn't and he said he ended it again for she was only a distraction. My fiance moved out 11 weeks ago and 10 weeks ago seen this girl again, and she got pregnant, she was on the pill???. He was living at a friends house alone, then he had to move and moved in with her, said she was having his baby and he had to, although he has a daughter here who needs him desperately. She has miscarried recently and I'm not sure how to try and get him back. Do I play it cool and try a work through a series of "family" days out to let him see what he's missing, do I tell him my feelings over and over and see if he will come back, do I make him see what he's doing to the child he already has? I know you might think I am stupid for wanting him back but I can't help it, we had a fantastic life before this happened and I feel like everything happens for a reason, now she's miscarried is that the opportunity I am going to get? My daughter is very advanced for a 4 year old but still a baby, she keeps asking when we are going on holiday and really excited about it, I haven't told her anything is the matter yet because we have been saying daddy's at work? He says its too late because of everything that's happened over the last 5 months, but i'm trying to get him to remember the good times we had and how important it is for our daughter to be able to do the things she enjoys. He says he feels bad for what hes done to me and can't really look at me in the eye

    It sounds like you have been through the worst of times.   I am really impressed that after all that has happened you are able to keep sight of how good it was between you, before all this happened.   It may well be that you might be able to find a way forward as a couple, particularly if you get some help to understand and work on the underlying issues in your relationship that contributed to this situation developing in the first place.  The 'Check it Out' section of this website has some really useful material on: 'hidden issues'  'cycle of happiness,  'stages of relationships' and 'rollercoaster of change' to name a few I have found very helpful.    Meeting up with a couple counsellor is also a good way of getting insights and planning a way forward in a  supportive environment.  I was very struck by your courage and  hope you find a good way forward for yourself and your little girl.
