Man Wonders If He Is Wrong For Refusing To Adopt Child His Wife Conceived During Affair
Your Tango ^ | May 7, 2022 | Isaac Serna-Diez

Everything always gets messy once kids get involved — especially when it comes to relationships and marriages.

This story is no different — a 27-year-old man and his 26-year-old wife used to have a great relationship until one night, the wife “got drunk, had a one night stand, and got pregnant from it.”

Now, he doesn’t know if he’s in the wrong for refusing to adopt a child that isn’t his.

The affair occurred five years ago, and although they almost went through a divorce, couples therapy convinced them to stay together and try again — with some arrangements to how they would go about parenting.......

The only person here who wasn’t in the wrong was the child.

I agree completely, without trust there’s nothing. Apparently this wasn’t an old boyfriend or co-worker or something, it was some totally random guy she picked up in a bar of all places. What is she even doing getting drunk in a bar when her husband isn’t even there with her? I’m just getting total slut vibes from this woman.

the man should leave the marriage asap.....

is he a man or a mouse?.....

if he loves his wife, and they had some sort of "counseling" and he wants to stay married, then man up OR just get the hell out of town...

really tired of wimpy people that can't make a decision except make life miserable for the cheating wife and the innocent kid....

get out or get on with life...

That was too funny!

So funny, in fact, I’m going to share it.

You have an excellent sense of humor.

Testing or toss her to the curb.

and the other thing is, if this story is even true, if this guys wants the goodies of marriage by accepting the one time shack up pregnancy, then ACCEPT IT like a man....don't let that child be treated like the plague....

but this "man" doesn't want to end the marriage but wants to pick and choose which parts he'll follow....

my new opinon...she should run the hell away asap.....that guy will hold her affair over her head for her and her child's entire life...

split...do it before any more harm to the not wanted child...

I know a woman who got pregnant by my best friend, when we were about 20. So he wouldn’t marry her. She finds another guy real quick, and they get married. Then divorced. I think he still doesnt know it’s not his kid. Some people have very dark secrets, that last a life time.

If he’s your “best friend” wouldn’t you tell him the child isn’t his? I’m assuming he’s paying child support.

Well whether he likes it or not if his wife was legally married to him when the child was born it has his last name.. He don’t need to adopt..

I read the story. It did not say he had the baby tested to see if it really is his. First I’d have the baby tested. If it’s not his I say DON”T adopt him. In fact I’m shocked he is still with her.

I don’t know why testing isn’t the first thing someone would suggest.

So by your definition a man who decides to help rear a child in a loving home and take on the responsibilities of fatherhood is a cuck by doing so? So stepfathers are cucks?

Things could not have been great between these two if the wife ‘’got drunk’’ and spread her legs for a total stranger.

That’s a big red flag right there.

“I play with him, buy him games, try my best to not resent him (and I am in therapy for this), and mostly just stay out of the way of my wife's parenting,” says the step-father.

You say (And I'm in therapy for this).   Good Grief!   You would be better off talking to a bum on a park bench.

My advice, turn at the next light and drive off into the sunset, then keep driving until you get at least half a brain.

Here is a thought; did you marry your wife because she was a party girl you knew could get drunk and hook up with the next joe blow at the bar?   Did that wild danger excite you?   Then live with it.

Is you wife always using the kid as a cudgel to prove your fragile woke sensitive submission to her domination that will someday bring you to off yourself?   Try to have one honest thought on your own instead of asking for a consensus from your equally damaged cohorts.

If you ever do make a decision on your own, then let that be the end of it with no second thoughts.   Water under the bridge id just what it means.   You should have done that five years ago.

Plenty of carp in the sea. Garbage women are a plenty. Decent women get snatched up early.

Not much of any worth is left if you don't grab early.

The fact he is still with her explains why she did it in the first place.

I had a coworker some years ago who was in the same situation as the two guys you mentioned. He married a woman with two children. After the wedding she wanted and they couldn’t afford, he adopted her children. It wasn’t long until she filed for divorce (and paid her lawyer with his credit card) and of course he had to pay child support.

She was a real delight!/s

Wait until the kids old enough to want to be adopted.

One one-night stand and that happens to be the very night she got pregnant?

Not buying it.

It only happened once, honey. Honest. (says the woman with so little integrity that she’d cheat on her husband)

Like I’d trust her to tell the truth after that????????
