Your husband has impregnated a woman....

who had the baby and then at a some point down the road died. Your husband learns of the existence of this illegitimate child and wants to do raise him/her. Let’s say that you have kids of your own as well. Would you welcome this child and be like a mother to it? Would you leave your husband? Would your decision be influenced by whether he had the affair before he met you or while he was with you/during your marriage?

Yes, I’m bored. :chai:

Re: Your husband has impregnated a woman....

I think it would depend on where I was in the marriage. How was the marriage proceeding. If the marriage was in a stable place, a good place, I would be disappointed but I wouldnt leave him. That said, I would raise the child as my own.

Re: Your husband has impregnated a woman…

yes i wud welcome the child. Bachhe ka kya kasoor…? why fault the child for the stupidities of his damn parents :hehe:

Re: Your husband has impregnated a woman....

^He's the parent, if he cares so much about the child, he should have given a care for his marriage with you. It's isn't the woman's job nor responsibility to raise HIS illegitimate child. That being said, I would leave his cheating behind that instant and make him raise his own kid.

Re: Your husband has impregnated a woman....

^ and what if teh child was fathered before you guys even met?

I actually read an article about this, from the POV of the woman whose husband fathered an illegitimate child and the child was now a part of their family for whatever reason.....she said stuff like how she feels ashamed of her husbands misdeeds (even tho he didn't cheat on her, it happened before they met/married and the mother of the child didnt' want the father involved in teh child's life) and makes teh child walk behind them when they're all out together....basically the stereotypical stepmother.

Honestly, I have no sympathy or understanding for people who treat innocent children like crap...Stone cold pieces of ____ thats what they are.

Re: Your husband has impregnated a woman....

^Wait the woman actually admitted to making the kid walk behind the family? That's messed up....and even more so....if the kid's father is passive about the situation. I'm curious, what culture did they belong to?

Re: Your husband has impregnated a woman....

probably white..it was "anonymous" but she mentoined being "WASP..(White Anglo Saxon Protestant)

Re: Your husband has impregnated a woman…

if it was before marriage i would accept the child and raise him/her as my own.. but if it was after marriage i wouldn’t be able to do that , i would take my kids and leave.. once a cheater always a cheater.. even if he doesn’t i’ll jusst be suspicious all the time and that doesn’t do a marriage any good.. so iam better off leaving him on his own, thats just my own opinion..feel free to disagree with it, iam not changing my mind :chai: .

Re: Your husband has impregnated a woman....

I know my fiance has had GF's before me.....I'm quite aware of the fact that he's not a virgin.

If he got a woman pregnant BEFORE he met me...then I have no problem welcoming the child into my family. To be honest....for a woman to show up in the picture in the future with a child that's proven to be biologically his....I think in my case, HE would be more shocked than me.

However, based on the child's birth date....if he had sex with her AFTER I started dating him....then our relationship would be over. I've told him outright that I can forgive him for many things....but cheating is not one of them.

Re: Your husband has impregnated a woman…

That is a totally different scenerio. If the husband did NOT cheat and the child happened to be from a prior relationship and the mother died? Of course I would raise it like my own (or at least try to. I can’t help when my possessive tendencies come through. :chai:)

BUT if he cheated, both him and the child can buh-bye out of my life forever.

Re: Your husband has impregnated a woman....

I would try to bring normalcy to the child lives and to my own family as well. Don't know how easy that would be.

It's really not the child's fault.

He/she might not even want to be part of a family that he/she has never known about.

Re: Your husband has impregnated a woman....

very filmy situation....

Re: Your husband has impregnated a woman…

Don’t mock. :nono:

Re: Your husband has impregnated a woman…

Did you watch the movie ’ Masoom ’ lately :chai:

Re: Your husband has impregnated a woman....

Or main hoon na... :D

So if my hubby did a messup before our marriage, I'd think long, but I think I'd keep the child and raise it well. Now if he's been doing stuff hike being married to me, I'd be in a fit for quite sometime... Eventally I'd accept the child with love but nag my husband for the rest of his life!

Re: Your husband has impregnated a woman…

If he cheated on me, he is goin down!

If he didn’t and this was someone prior to him meeting me, I’d definitely take the child and raise him/her as my own.

Re: Your husband has impregnated a woman…

Everyone will behave like Shabana Azmi of ‘Masoom’ in given situation…
