Pregnant as result of an affair

Hi everyone, I’m new on this website and I’ve been searching for the most non judgemental website and came across this one. As people are quick to make an opinion I wanted to give a background of my relationship with my husband so you know the whole story, but my husband has cheated on me throughout my relationship with him with numerous girls, and I only found out about it when I was 8 months pregnant with my first. Only god knows what I went through, I was suffering from depression and anxiety because of this, and when I thought it was all over I got pregnant again and 6 months in I found out he was cheating again, my son was born with conditions and even when I was on a downward spiral and trying to get my head around my son’s issues, my husband just kept on going with his affairs, late nights, not coming home, with my cleaner.. it was the worst time of my life, where even though I loved my babies more than anything, I sometimes actually wished I wasn’t alive anymore. Then a months later one day shortly after finding videos of him having sex with a girl I knew, I had enough and I was done with him and no longer cared about him or anything he did, in fact I was happy when he didn’t come home and my one wish was that he would just leave and we could divorce, however due to financial reasons I was putting it off. One of the other reasons I stayed in the relationship was because I always wanted 3 kids it was my dream but I got to a point where I was ready to forget having a 3rd and just have him out of my life. I am getting older and by the time I meet someone it might be too late so it was either with him or not at all.

Anyway after I found the videos I started to rebel and going out a bit more and I met this guy who fell in love with me and is obsessed with me, he made me feel like the most beautiful sexiest person and always so truthful and honest, all things I never had with my husband. All these years I stayed faithful and honest because I knew I wasn’t like him but then one day something switched and now I’m no different than him. We are in the process of separating and I’ve just found out I’m pregnant. I had sex with my husband 1 time after months, but I’m 90% sure it’s my boyfriends because of the dates. I am 5 weeks and thinking Of having an abortion. It will kill me to do this as there is nothing I want more and after years of trying I finally fall pregnant but if I tell my husband it’s not his even if we are separating and estranged for months before, he is Middle Eastern and I know it will become a huge thing, probably even dangerous for me, shame on the family etc. But the thought of keeping my mouth shut and pretending it’s his sends chills down my spine every time I think about it. On one hand I’m so extremely happy and grateful to be pregnant but on the other hand I feel like I’m trapped in between a rock and a hard place and heartache whatever decision I make! I can’t tell anyone I just don’t know what to do :(

What does the other man say? Surely he should have some import into your decision.

Are you also of Middle Eastern/Muslim heritage or just your husband?

Does anyone know what happens on the birth certificate if they're still legally married at the time of the birth? I was under the impression that the husband would be automatically listed as the father- can you override that if you know he's not?

NoMoreDickheads · 05/04/2020 12:42

He’s not violent towards me but he has a very bad temper and not sure what he’s capable of. This is why I’m considering an abortion. I just don’t know if its going to be too much negativity around this child?

You'll be out before the child ever has to experience it. Babies aren't as aware of stuff in the womb as people think.

Please don't go because of one or two bored twats btw. Most people are being supportive and if it's anything like how I feel about some of my threads, you'll find the threads helpful. xxx

Just going to recommend that you get copies of documents, bank statements etc to your lawyer asap if you haven't. Because I doubt he will remain very generous after a divorce, and certainly not after he finds out your baby isn't his, if its not. Be careful and don't assume you will be fine.

Hi op
Sorry to hear your situation. I can't be nice.
However I wouldn't abort the baby. You should keep the baby regardless of the situation. Your not with your husband so it doesn't matter. I get that being Middle Eastern, and bringing shame on the family but maybe your husband should take that into consideration rather then having sex left right and centre with all these women.

I send love all to you and hope you make the right choice x

Don't do anything rash OP. If you have an abortion it will live with you for the rest of your life.
Wishing you all the very best 💐
