I would feel duped.

He waits & tells you now that you are deep in w/his kids??!

What a rat.

I would be angry + feel betrayed.

Trust would most definitely be affected big time.

This is the right answer, IF he's an otherwise good husband and father.

You know what's worse than having an otherwise great relationship with your husband who cheated a long time ago? Being a single mom on a limited budget.

If you want your kids to start life in a economically advantaged position, don't divorce. It costs a ton of cash to run two households. When will you save for college costs? Save for retirement? Only an idiot would flush away their good relationship and financial security out of spite.

The fact that you're just finding out 5 years later is ridiculous. Your time and life together is a lie. He is selfish and a coward.

I couldn't trust him.

Because he's a cheater and there was an opportunity whereby he thought he wouldn't get caught but did.

OP Many people don't cheat, but the reality is you can't trust him. How do you know he hasn't cheated in 5 years?

Without him knowing you should check up on him periodically. All you can do at this point. If he ever cheats again you can decide from there. Otherwise I
would have a plan B in case it doesn't work out. A good job and your own money etc.

Why did he cheat to begin with?

Deal breaker or water under the bridge?


That's up to you but there's never a reason to cheat. Get divorced or work it out...then you get to date.
