What would you do if your wife was pregnant with someone elses baby?

My wife and I split up from Sept. 9th till Oct. 23. We have a 4 year old little boy. We started working on things and she came home Oct. 23. November 1 we found out she is pregnant. We both dated while we was apart. After going to the doctor she is 8 weeks pregnant as of November 4th. If you go back 8 weeks that puts her to getting pregnant about Sept 9th. But if you use a pregnancy calculator it puts her to conceiving about Sept 24th because the way the doctors do the math or something. Could this baby be mine at all? What would you do. We just had a rocky time split and now this? We both slept with others so either of us could be in this situation. I love her with everything in me. Do we go on and forget about whos it is and be happy or do I dwell on this on and on. I cant help but to worry. Suggestions please! No hateful arrogance though. IF your going to comment with nasty hatefulness don’t bother. I can take positive criticism but nothing uncalled for..

Update:

THank you all… And fyi abortion is no option what so ever! I love LOVE children!

  • Your just gonna have to do a DNA test. if you had sex with her after you two took some time off then yes you could be the daddy. If not then no it’s not all that likely. I think if you love her and you want to be together and you say you love children you will stand by her. I’m not saying that it will be easy but you can man up and do it.

  • this is all up to you and your wife really. If this were me and my husband, i would be shocked if he stayed with me. Since you do not seem upset about the fact that you both left each other and immediately invited strangers into your beds, if you still love each other and want to make the marriage work, then do so. You will need to remember that there is a potential other father out there, and if he is the father of the child to be, he will have the right to be in the child’s life forever. You CAN make this work if you are both willing to grow in your relationship and understand the possibility that you may only be a step father. when the time comes, a paternity test will tell your factually. Hope this helps. Be well.

  • Is there a chance that it’s yours? Yes, but there’s a much bigger chance that it’s not yours.

    If you *both* slept with other people (which, I’m sorry to say, was completely inappropriate, even if you were seperated), you really can’t be upset with her, but that doesn’t mean you have to accept responsibility.

    Can you accept responsibility and *never* feel any resentment at any point in time for the rest of your life (fyi–most people could not do that)? Because if you can’t, then it will be the child who suffers. And the most important in this is *the child*.

    Even if you are one of those very rare people who can do this–bio dad could pop up any day and cause all kinds of problems. Are you prepared to deal with those too?

  • If she is 8 weeks pregnant, she got pregnant on Sept 9th, not the 24th. Did you make love the day she left ? Or the week before ? If you were having a rocky time of it, were you still making love….if so its probably your baby. In any case, if you love your wife you’ll make a go of it. Try to overcome your fears, and treat this as your own child. If you have worries after it is born, it is a simple procedure to get a DNA test to confirm it. Good luck to you.

  • You have to decide how you feel about her. Either you divorce, or you decide to stay together and make it work.

    If you stay together, then obviously she comes with a baby whom you will have to accept and care for as your own. In that situation I do NOT think that a paternity test is a good idea. No matter what, you will be the man the baby calls ‘Daddy’ when s/he starts talking. Information from a DNA test would not change anything about the situation, but might just mess up your emotions.

  • While married, I wouldn’t have cheated so if we were separated and she got knocked up…well I would have divorced her for marital infidelity (being separated does not make you single). With saying that, she you BOTH cheated, it would be hypocrisy if one of you held that above the others head.

    As to what to do, don’t sign the birth certificate until a paternity test is complete (and do get one). If the child is yours, great. If not, well its not the end of the world..plenty of people raise children not there own. Have your wife get child support from the biological father and eventually set-up visitation. I personally wouldn’t put my name down on the birth certificate if I wasn’t the biological father or “adopt” the child. Your marriage is still “rocky” and if it splitters again, you don’t want to be paying child support for a kid that isn’t yours.

  • Man you are a good man for even taking the time to even say this “I love her with everything in me. Do we go on and forget about whos it is and be happy or do I dwell on this on and on” but, once that baby is born…i hope that your feelings stay the same..its something about anothers man baby that hits another guy really hard…especially if the baby isnt yours. I hope all works out for the best for you two. Just be there for her..she is the ones who feels sorry, and im sure she wish this outcome never happened..just love her because right now..that is all she wants from you..but, things happen in life you know..you just gotta take it. live it and learn from it. Good Luck.

  • Wow, you sound like a very understanding guy.

    I’m not religious or anything but this embryo was created by two people, did not ask to come into this world. It is about a baby, not two adults. What was done is over. Looking to the future, you have a responsible decision to make and you should make it soon and never look back….ever.

  • man that is a hard situation. you cant ask her to have an abortion, but then i cant imagine raising a child knowing its not mine :/ and is the other bloke wanting to be on the scene as well? if you love her and you have a child together then you definitely should stay together. you just need to talk to her about it and see her point of view. if you raise that child from birth even though you arent its biological father it will still attach to you and you will attach to it more than you would imagine. but all you can do is talk to your wife

  • She is your wife…she needs u now more than she has ever needed u..be the kind of man that every woman dreams of and every man should strive to be. A loving forgiving protective husband and father..this unborn child is yours even if it doesnt have your dna..it is part of her and u love her completely? then its your child too..love is everything. We all make mistakes, we r imperfect…it is the true test of any human being, not just a man to stand up for those we love and those who cant stand up for themselves. Stand up for this woman, stand up for this child and be the role model for a better world. Your children will know how a man should be, and how he should treat his wife, and your wife will know she is truly loved by u…that is a new foundation in which to build on a solid one that will have a better chance of surviving the storms of life. Love them…and u will be loved. good luck! many great wishes. LIVE LAUGH LOVE
