[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a woman whose husband did this.  She decided she had no reason to give up the financial comforts of her marriage.  She had her husband push for 50% custody right off the bat.  Judge granted visits right away and then overnights once baby was 3 months.  She figured the other woman having to drop off her baby to the home of her ex-lover and his wife of 20 years was pretty delicious retribution.  (Apparently other woman sobbed every time for literally years).  Kid is 10 now and calls the woman "mom"--they have primary custody now.  So I guess there's one example.  [/quote]

I'm sure stories about selling her dignity to keep her standard of living and traumatizing a postpartum mother have made your friend highly admired in your community.[/quote]

Postpartum mother deserves everything she gets. Lowest form of low. [/quote]

But yet the cheating husband gets to keep his wife and lifestyle? I don't think postpartum mother deserved that, and thinking of her sobbing as she dropped off her child every week only to eventually have that child call someone else 'mom'? Ouch. Why isn't the cheating husband to blame as well?[/quote]

Nothing is that black and white. Meanwhile, make no mistake the pregnant woman labored under an assumption (rightly or wrongly) that she'd probably end up with the lifestyle. Why else keep the kid from a relationship born of lies and deceit. So, yes, if that kid is around the wife their entire life, the kid will almost certainly call the woman some version of 'Mom'. Just life and the outcome of a loving bond created by two people that aren't related by blood but relationship. OW needs to think of a lifetime as much as the wife. [/quote]
