I’ve been “seeing” him for almost three years.
I’m now six months pregnant and he’s married – so he’s been cheating on his wife with me for three years.
I know he won’t leave her but the baby will be here soon. He knows he has to tell her because you can’t secretly co-parent a child but he’s scared.
I want it out in the open so I can have that plan in place sooner rather than later.
How wrong would I be to tell her myself?
Here are what netizens think:
Welcome to single parenthood!
Honestly unless you want to be a poor sole parent, people should only be having kids in a committed long term relationship.. untimely this is her choice.. there were options here but now they are long gone.. her body, her choice, her decision to become a sole parent.. keep it or adopt it out are the only two left now.. how can someone with a whole other family not be throwing up red flag after red flag and you not notice it is beyond me..
It’s a growing trend in modern society sadly and it’s only going to get worse until we start taking responsibility for our actions and stop enabling hedonism. I think it’s a direct result of promiscuity, unresolved mental health, hook-up culture
Men have been having mistress’s for 1000’s of years. It’s the reason children born out of wedlock didn’t have any inheritance rights – the men could shag left, right and centre and didn’t have to take care of any babies created.
I guess a part of me feels just slightly sorry for you, that you have that low self esteem. I’ve been where you are. Mine lasted..3 months. 3 months. I knew what I was doing was so very wrong, and I did the right thing and ended it, then got myself into therapy.
