To try to cut a long story short, I separated from my H 4 years ago. We have a son who is 6. At first my son found the separation hard and still does at times but he has a good relationship with both of us and I hope we do our best to co-parent him well in a not ideal situation.
My H cheated on me, many times so it transpires and I was a mess for a long time. My family were a great support in helping me cope and adjust and really helped out with my son.
I am now 40 and I don't want a relationship but I do want another child. My only route would be sperm donation. At my age it may be too late but I feel the desire so strongly and have for a couple of years now.
Is this selfish though? A) in terms of my son and B) in terms of the child (should I even be successful which I know is maybe unlikely). Will be son resent having to share me and would the child grow up resenting the fact that he doesn't have a father like my son does. Watching him go off with his Daddy for weekends etc.
This all may sound ridiculously hypothetical but has anyone been or know of anyone who has been in this situation? It's driving my crazy as I know my window of opportunity is running out X
