You are a disgusting human being.


Actually, he is an amazing human being.


Plus one, he is amazing and I say that as someone who would never do what he did. I freely admit he is a better man than me


He's a good man to raise that kid as his own because it's not the kid's fault. Kids need good homes and loving parents regardless of the circumstances of their conception.

I have a very different opinion of his wife, however. I didn't think trial separation meant "go out and have unprotected sex with the first guy you see."


Yikes! That's a pretty big assumption! 50% of all pregnancies in this country are unintended and of those, about half were using contraception at the time.

I myself got unexpectedly pregnant while using 2 forms of birth control.


Unless it was while you were cheating on your husband, I'm not sure that's at all relevant.

Im not superman, I just did what I had to do for the the sake of my marriage and family. In my wifes defence it wasnt as if she just ran to him. We both kind of saw it coming and knew it was something that was going to happen. Hence why we seperated. She didnt intend to get pregnant.


I get it. You needed to find a way to forgive her, or at least move past it, in order to stay together, since that was what you two decided to do. None of us truly know how we'd deal with the same situation even those of us who have said unequivocally we'd kick the cheating b*tch to the curb. Life is never quite as simple as we imagine it will be in these hypotheticals.

And i think it would be pretty fair to ask DW to have an abortion in that case, even if she wasn't thrilled with the idea. And it would be reasonable to make the abortion an ultimatum for my staying.


Tangent: We don't actually live in a country where abortion is freely available. We live in a country where abortion is technically legal yet difficult for many women to access. There are fewer and fewer clinics that provide it, and arbitrary waiting periods and restrictions enacted by state governments.
