So I was on the laptop, on my partners fb (as I often am) and I know I shouldn't have but I went onto his archived messages. Nothing to do with trust issues I was genuinely just snooping. I found a message from a gf he had at 16 (it was dated a few years ago) and she basically said she needed to talk to him. His replies are like we're over I don't want to talk to you etc etc and she said I know you won't believe me but I need to talk to you about being pregnant. She then went on to say she'd had a scan and was having twins and they were his. His reply was no the dates don't add up, we weren't together then because that's the month you cheated on me so they're not mine (surely that means they were together then though??) and she just said we were together I know this because we did XY and Z on such a such date but if you don't want to be involved that's fine I'll let them know when they grow up. I went on to her profile and there is a picture of 2 kids who look about that age so the pregnancy must be true.

I have never heard anything of the sort. A total shock to me. I feel sick, I can't stop thinking about it.
Less of a AIBU but more of a WWYD? If I bring it up the argument will more likely turn into why were you snooping and not actually focus on what was said. I know I shouldn't have snooped but I did and TBH I really wish I hadn't SadSad

Oh heck op.

I couldn't let this lie at all.

There is a good chance these children are his.

Iwould i would guess the same also I'm just saying that's the mindset I've seen before,especially when they find out they aren't the father. there have been threads on MN itself about "trapping" hoping it will work out also.

I was just saying we don't have any idea about the paternity tests situation in this case and I don't think his stance of not blindly trusting her when he knows that she cheated around the time of conception is misguided. Obviously I'm hopeful he did have a paternity test somehow and for OPs piece of mind it came back negative so she could have faith in her DP again, but also the mother had been able to rely on a good support network

And true OP hasn't been back in a while, hopefully not because our discussion derailed the thread

IWouldLikeToSeeTheseMangoes · 19/11/2016 19:09

Yeah hopefully it was all resolved amicably with the ex and OP's partner . In an ideal world eh! I think our discussion was pretty relevant to her dilemma anyway even if some of the possibilities make for uncomfortable reading for someone in the situation personally.

I'd definitely have to know and I'd risk it knowing I'd scooped.

This would eat me up until I had it out.

Good luck anyway OP, an I hope for your sake he's not

SparklyMagpie · 19/11/2016 19:42

Haha snooped not scooped
