All signs point to it.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
Baby's Momma is pushing for a reunion?

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Far be it from me to give you advice (I have no kids myself) but you may have to lay the situation out a bit better before people start throwing their 2, 3, and 4 cents in.

Cheaper to keep her...unless she's crazy.

Why did you end it the first time?

She's bipolar like a mothaf*cker!
She'll never be truly happy, no matter if some rich dude comes along and sweeps her off her feet... which is what happen. I guess a year later, they butting heads now too. I could never live with her, this I know, but she does seem to favor me over him all this time.
We've since moved on, but talk everyday on matters concerning my son.
Her family (even her Dad, which is shocking) wants us together again but man...
She's a head case with that bipolar.
She did give me one beautiful son.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

No, I'd keep it on friendly terms[which it won't be when she drives you crazy and YOU leave her]. As long as she left you, she'll be nice to you-don't ever think you have the right to leave her[little princesses they all are]. SHE'll ride her broom all around your life if it isn't her idea to end it.
