Hi all, you have all been a huge source of support to me over 2020. My husband had a devastating affair throughout my pregnancy, I thought I would do whatever it took to make it work but he carried it on and I have now found the strength to walk away. My daughter will be 7 weeks old next week and I am registering her birth. I will be putting him on the birth certificate but I need some advice whether to double barrell her surname or just give her mine. He says now he wants to be in her life (after meeting her once in 7 weeks he already thinks he’s dad of the year) and I will support that but my gut feeling is as the weeks go on he will make less and less effort, if it’s possible to make less effort that is.
I want her to have the link to him and his family but also want to protect her for her future. What do you all suggest?
Xx
