I am the mother of two. I have an amazing husband and father to my children. The last child is not his, and he is unaware. His best friend and I had a one-night stand two years ago when my hubby was out of town. I can’t bring myself to come clean.
I just started going to therapy about this. The guilt is making me miserable. I feel honesty would break our whole family apart. I'm afraid to find out what my husband may do. —Anonymous
My grandmother had a saying about truth: “What’s done in the dark will always come to the light.” You’ve been carrying some huge secrets, and despite trying to ignore and avoid them, they’ve come to the forefront of your mind nearly three years later with a crippling vengeance that’s making you miserable.
I’m glad you’re in therapy. That’s a good starting point. If you have a good therapist, she or he will help you find the courage to “come clean,” as you put it, and tell your husband the truth about your affair and the child that resulted from it. It’s not the easy thing to do, but it is the right course of action here for everyone involved, including you.
Your husband deserves to know the truth, and sooner rather than later.

Except for Bill and Hillary Clinton. They are the perfect couple.
I think before I blurted out I would have a DNA test done to make sure.
Then if the child's father is the husband and not the one nighter, she can admit she was unfaithful and not involve the child in it. I know a wife who admitted the first child was not the husbands and it ended the marriage.
for how many nights?
Please, don’t remind me.
dear spoiler
so the eff what about your guilt, suffer. Don’t wreck it for everyone else. You are a thoughtless heedless mess.
Nick is one of those poster trolls. He's the best at it, if you've noticed.
Slut
Thanks for the compliment, but how is it trolling? It’s a real life issue, and it got 89 replies.
The inability to be honest about one’s intentions is an intrinsic flaw at the deepest level.
Agreed.
Please elaborate. Being to dull to understand other people’s intentions is nothing to brag about.
>> Tell me this is a joke...
For everyone but the dude paying the alimony.
It’s considered good etiquette to ping someone when one is speaking about them, particularly when one is disparaging another.
Agreed.
That is what welfare, a reward for illegitimacy, get's us.
That is why there will be no welfare by any level of govt in the Republic of Maine after the secession vote on June 12, 2018.
On one hand, there’s really no good alternative at this point.
On the other hand, would you rather he hear from you or from someone else? And who else knows?
You know, I thought of that as well. It IS possible that the child is her husband's. But how do you justify DNA testing without coming clean?
