Hi there, i will give a cut-down version of this.

Im in a relationship of such with someone who has a partner that she is not married to but been together for quite a while (Years).

We see each other all the time, at the start she would stay over even drive out to mine to get away from her fella. Calls me every day, messages me each morning, every night, and very frequent intimacy. We do things together, cook, go out, walks, etc, though not much during the Covid thing.

Now before the Covid she stayed over a lot, dont know what she told her boyfriend/partner though whatever it was must of been convincing for her to see me.

At first i thought, and have asked her, was all about the sex at the start, she said yes and no. So i took that on the chin as the love feelings had not developed.

Now the love feelings have developed between her and me, though here is the complication im stuck with (probably my fault, maybe, unsure, naive maybe).

Because she has been in a relationship for such a long time, and her partner has kids to someone else, she has become accustom to his daughters children, and she does not want to leave him due to having to leave the kids too. She said her partners daughter would be peed off with her and would not want to be her friend. She also says she doesnt want to lose the relationship with thos children, though other times i ask her to sort this out she says she has come to terms that her partnet, his daughter, and his daughters children would not be in her life anymore.

She said to me she would love a child with me and have been trying this last couple of months for a child, with a lot of stress on top. This month we shall find out very soon if she is pregnant to me, and she said to me if she is then it would make things a hell of a lot easier for her to tell her partner to leave as she cant hide being pregnant.

To me thats no excuse why she cant tell him now to go. She said she has asked him already but give me vague information how that went.

Over the months it all goes well between us, and when i keep asking her when is she going to tell him to leave she just says "Im going to do it, i will, i will, i am" She does have anxiety, and she also has said that she does not want him hurt.

Though come on....hes going to be hurt, hes going to be more hurt when he says "your pregnant, im going to be a dad" and she turns round and says its not yours and ive been sleeping with a guy for the last six months. I do tell a lie there, there was a gap of 2 months due to lockdown and said we couldnt meet, but yeah you probably think what i am thinking....we are blummin sleeping together so whats the problem.

She says she only stays with him to help with the bills, now she has secured her job to permanent. So ive put this to her "You can tell him now" as she wont require him for the part of the bills, she now has the security of work and enough money to pay the bills. If that sounds harsh, it is, i agree, though im not waiting much longer for the next excuse.

I am falling for her fast. I also spoke on the phone to her today and made it clear that it is not fair on me hanging in the shadows, and that guy not knowing whats happening behind his back. I think its bad as i wouldnt like that done to me. In a way a feel bad too for entertaining this, though its too late, i love her.

We also spoke a couple of weeks back, and by the sounds of it she wants it all with me. Though ive heard that before from someone else, and she did one for another guy.

So whats your thoughts on this, i appreciate all your input. I know, or should i say i know what i want to do and thats just get the guy informed but not by me, so its less harsh.

WTAF! Are you serious? TTC’ing with someone you barely know and who is in a relationship with someone else.

Find your self respect and stop being so damn irresponsible!

Continuing a relationship with someone who would use a pregnancy, as the catalyst to leave their current relationship, says a lot about you too.

GET.OUT.NOW
This is going to end in disaster.

This is not a real relationship. I believe this will be the biggest mistake of your life if you continue to stay in this - what happens in a few years time when she gets bored of you, and you become the 'fella' when she is off shagging someone else trying to get pregnant
BIG NO - RUN

I agree with everything everyone else has said. She's playing you for a fool.

But it's not all her fault. You are having an affair with someone in a relationship with children involved. After less than 6 months and without being in a committed relationship and without being sure of your feelings for each other you have decided to try and get her pregnant. How irresponsible to try and bring a child into this mess.

Get yourself together and find someone who is free. And give way more thought to the circumstances in which you bring a child into this world.

Whatever happens, do not be part of bringing a child in to the world under these circumstances Flowers

It’ll be you paying the bills in future while she finds someone to amuse herself with...maybe you can pay the bills, look after your new baby and her kids too, while she has an affair with someone else?
That sounds fun doesn’t it? You should totally go ahead with all this.

Oh sweetheart she's playing you for a fool. Telling you what you want to hear, giving all the excuses in the book.

She's not going to leave her comfortable set up to come live with you! She's feeding you lies.

And if she did get pregnant? You think you'd be the father? Of course she's shagging you both, despite what's she's telling you.

Run for the hills and get a girlfriend you deserve!

Seriously. He’s having an affair with a woman in a serious relationship. “Oh sweetheart?” FGS. Hmm

He's not in a relationship!! She is! He just sounds very young and naive.

Sorry, your instincts are right. She doesn't care enough about you to end her other relationship. She will just keep on making excuses.

Find someone who's single.

Tbf most 6 year olds could tell you not to have a baby with someone who lives with another man, who has told you she isn't leaving him and whom you've only known a short amount of time.

I think this might be a wind up troll post tbh.

So what? He’s as bad as she is. This “there, there, poor you” is utterly pathetic.

She's making excuses.
You are a bit of fun to her. Nothing more.

Is her partner unable to father a child?
Any chance she’s using you as a sperm donor and will stay with him even with a baby of yours? 🤔

People in affairs who are going to leave, do so in the first couple of months. She will not leave for you, unless she is kicked out. If that happens, it's all doomed anyway.

If you're really unlucky, she will be pregnant by you, lie to everyone, and bring up the child as part of her family with her long term partner. For gods sake! Stop trying for a baby.

In the interests of honesty, I have had an affair and am female. I know quite a few people who have too. Some are still happily together, some never worked once the affair was discovered, some were left broken when someone who had promised them the world, stayed with their actual partner... I suspect that last will be you.

You are being naive and your naivety will have lifelong repercussions for any baby brought into this chaos. She sounds like a classic manipulator and you have chosen to ignore all of her cruel behaviour towards everyone in her life because you have 'feelings' for her. A baby is, unsurprisingly, a human. This poor little human will have to go through life not knowing who their father is and the realisation that their mother is a cruel and self centred woman.

I do actually hear the thudding of the opening tune to Eastenders. It sounds like a plotline....
