I agree with eskie re adoption but that could only happen if biological dad agrees to it. I agree about not being hung up on biology. That’s not what makes one a parent

Put his baby up for adoption. She isn't killing it and you guys won't be tied to an asshole. He has no rights, she's married to you. Adoption.

There are plenty of good men who will raise another man's child as their own and have it be wonderful. My issue is the cheating and how she got pregnant after one time. There are other ways to have a baby with your partner without cheating on them. To me this is more than just cheating, Its cheating with a bottom line- getting pregnant and it involves bringing into a the world a child with two fathers which can be confusing, I hope you both can get therapy.

I know I am the only one saying this and that it's not a popular opinion. I find it morally repugnant that his wife had the nerve and the balls to ask him to parent a child that was conceived by cheating. She cheats and there are no repercussions for her infidelity and breach of trust. I highly doubt she slept with her lover just once. Pretty uncanny to get pregnant on the very first and supposedly ONLY try. And who is to say she won't cheat again with this man, or with some other man? Sure, he can adopt if the bio father agrees. Sure, they can maybe be happy, if the husband forgives the infidelity. It's a very tough position to be in. If it were me in those shoes, I'd say hell no to her and I would walk away for good. But that's just me, it's not my life and it's completely up to the OP. No need for anyone to respond to this.

In order for them to adopt out the baby - like mom's really going to agree to that 🙄 - first they have to persuade bio dad to sign away all his rights. It's not very common for people to just sign their kid away, though. It usually happens through the courts because of abuse and neglect. __________________ You're only given one little spark of madness.

I don't know, maybe I'm just old, but it seems to me that first and foremost, the child needs two loving parents. That's all that matters. The infidelity is forgivable for the sake of the child. @Yourself, who's name will go on the birth certificate?

He has been trying to get with her for about 5 years now and has gotten close before and never cared I existed. He has also been verbally and emotionally abusing her after he found out she was pregnant and even threatened her and the baby. He also has kids with his ex he doesn’t really care for either he’s just obsessed with my ex and wants her no matter what. She has been pushing him away more and more but he still reserves the rights of his unborn child unless we take him to court. He won’t agree to handle any of it civilly because he’s rather spite her if she won’t be with him.....😔

I just wanted to say @Yourself that its ok to love someone but also have boundaries. I get it that he is abusive to her and that maybe she is caught in a cycle and that is one reason she slept with him. But it still is not ok. It just isnt ok.

Dude... Please just save yourself. I agree with sarahsweets, the main problem is not whose baby it is BUT she cheats on you. Your relationship has already gone downhill, leave before you got dragged deeper, hurt and lose more than you have right now. Use your logic, not your feelings. She will drag you down. Yes it will be painful to leave and move on at this moment, but the outcome in the future would be better.
But if you really want to keep her, that's your choice and we can't force you not to. If you really do, prepare yourself to suffer more than you currently endure.... and she might probably leave you someday for that (or another) guy. |

And you can't stay there. You have to do something. Distance yourself from our advices for a moment and think big. Ten years from now. Get a piece of paper and try to predict what can happen, point by point, two scenarios - staying with her, or moving forward. Maybe it's gonna help.

One day I’m all in wanting to be there in every way but then I her days I can’t even stop crying and hate everything so much I don’t think I could ever handle it... Im trying to do what I think is right and I’m trying to do it the best I can and I know I’m disappointing plenty of you trying to help me but I gotta do what I believe should be done even if it means giving up on my own life. It’s just the way I am 😔
