Married for 25 years and husband had an affair, and three months into their affair, the OW got pregnant (both their faults of course). Needless to say, I divorced husband and he told me that he felt that he had to stick with OW due her wanting the baby as her religion was against termination. We already had two lovely teenaged children who were both very much wanted and planned.

I can't help but wonder how people feel when they get into situations like these? He certainly never wanted anymore children during our marriage and actually found the whole baby years stressful.

Has anyone got similar stories?

Not really a similar story as thankfully the OW in my situation didn't get pregnant and they've now split up. She did tell me that she wanted a baby and that supposedly my DH had said he "was up for it". I am 99% sure that was untrue as he definitely did not want anymore kids. When I asked him what he'd do if she got pregnant he said he'd "fucking kill himself".

@bluemonday2023 how are your children with their dad? Mine will not see theirs and barely speak to him. It must have been very hard dealing with him leaving let alone having a baby so soon after.

@Twiglett2 - my kids have found it very, very hard. They feel that they missed out on having their dad around during their teen years, yet he spent more time with the child he seemingly wanted to get terminated. It's only in the last few months they've seen him a little more (never invited to his house with the OW).
