I know of a few cases from a generation or two ago. My grandfather's first wife had a baby with her lover; my grandfather divorced her and married my grandmother. So there's no blood relation between that baby and my dad, but it's a complicated situation since there was another child in that marriage who is half-sibling to both my dad (same father) and the other baby (same mother).
I don't personally know of any current situations of this. Birth control is a lot more available and effective than it was 50 years ago, although there are obviously still failures at times. |
No. He is not with her at all. She is still married. Kids have never met him and have zero desire. I have no idea of his involvement with him and honestly don’t care. My guess is the woman is still furious he didn’t leave his family and never would have. |

Yep, my ex did this. He is married to the OW and they have more children now. Just gross behavior and the two of them deserve each other.
My kids love their dad but don't have a traditional relationship with him. He does not co-parent or provide support. |
No wonder she cheated, he husband is a p***y |
I hope they properly chastised, flogged and humiliated her. She deserves it. |
+1 This happened to an older cousin of mine as well! In her case, both her mother and her “dad” had been deceased for a number of years. Her biological dad was still alive and told her that all three of them were aware of the situation but over time just came to believe that her mother’s husband was her father because they looked a lot alike (which they definitely did...she looks more like her “dad” then her mother). |
| TO do this 23 and me test, do you only need your dNA? How are they mapping to other people if it is just your data being collected? |

I read the worst story of this sort a few years ago. Some poor guy's wife cheated with his brother. The husband was understandably incensed and they separated, only for his ex to get pregnant with twins by his brother. His parents felt terribly for the husband but could not cut off their other son/the grandkids. The jilited husband can't go home for holidays without the ex wife, the brother who betrayed him, etc in his face.
Terrible |
I think they map it to everyone else's DNA that they have collected. My understanding is that part of the terms of service is that you allow them to retain your DNA for future mapping. They may also have entered into partnership agreements with the other services to share access to your DNA. |

Honestly, you need to have more than a few screws loose to be the AP of a married man and keep the baby. It's absolutely insane and recipe for a life of drama, pain, and crippling heartache (for both the mother, baby, and father).
The female AP is basically a massive masochist. |
Thanks for the update! Glad you're moving on and inflatables are no longer in danger. Hugs!

| I think, married female ex-AP here, we are really really f'ed up. |
One of my kids had to have genetic tests done when he was a toddler due to some.developmental issues. One of the things my husband and I had to be counseled on when we signed off on the test was that they sometimes surprise the parents with unexpected information (ie child is the product of an affair by mom or parents come from.the same family tree somewhere down the line). Jokingly asked if that ever really happens and they doc said yes. |
NP - she says she's "an Emmy-Award winning journalist". I've tried googling what she won the award for but I can't even find ANY Emmy Awards for journalism much less for her. Any one else have any luck? |
I know my husband's AP kept the baby in hopes that he will leave me and marry her. I'm sure he encouraged her in this thinking because no sane woman would have a baby otherwise. Well, not only did he not leave me, but we ended up having more children. She is very angry, and now, when she is realizing how much drama there will be for her child in the foreseeable future, she gets angrier every day. It's a terrible situation, as I said. No one wins, everyone is in pain, forever. She says her daughter has been deprived of a father for five years, and I'm like yes....she has been...what did you think it was going to be like? |
