Veritaas: This post says it all. The rest well, no comment.
I agree and nice to see you back, not really anyone else's business to poke their nose in, It's between the people involved and real friends who want to be supportive would be there regardless of the decision made. jmo wine

maryrachelle: I told him he should leave before this child is even born.Why take on another mans responsibility?


Becuse it's a child, not an over due credit card.




maryrachelle: Recently, a family member found out that his child is not really his child. He's been with this woman for years and he is hurt and shocked.He probably would of remained in the dark forever if not for amnio done.It seems they can do paternity testing through this.The only reason she told him is because the bio dad is black and there would be no way she can pass off this new baby as his.



...but he should leave.

She doesn't love him, and staying and raising her baby

isn't going to make her love him.


After years of calling her child his, she will eventually

leave him and what was always hers, will be hers again.

Imagine if he does what others tell him what he should do and then regrets it? roll eyes

If someone does not want your opinion then they should not ask.He asked and I was honest with him.I don't lie to the people I love when they ask me for my honest opinion.Whether he choose to stay or go is up to him.

bestbefore: This rang a bell from the past in my family.

During the war the Americans were based in Bournemouth and my aunt, whose husband was in the Royal Navy, had a relationship with a black american.

She didn't tell a soul so when the baby was born imagine the shock. My uncle stood by her and accepted the child who was raised in a loving home.His colour caused him problems un fortunately as it was considered unacceptable in those days.

A lovely guy who overcame predjudice thank goodness.




The above shows that not everything in life has to turn sour.

This is not your problem Maryrachelle,though I do understand your concern for a family member.The couple concerned have to sort this for themselves with or without input from the biological Father.

It takes a real man to bring up someone else's child as his own. If he decides to do this I wish him all the best.Casting stones is not going to solve the issue. Who amongst us hasn't fallen by the wayside.j.m.o.

He is probably as confused as hell right now and hurting, not a good time to hear what others would, being supportive and encouraging him to work thro his own feelings may be more beneficial to him long term.

He loves her but I doubt she loves him.He is the proverbial nice guy who lets himself be walked upon and used for what he can give her.This is not the first time she cheated.He has caught her before.She just did not end up pregnant before.


Nobody is dictating anything to him.How he chooses to handle this situation is up to him in the end.He asked for my honest opinion and I gave it to him.He asked for my opinion when she cheated before and I told him he didn't deserve that type of treatement and should leave,but he stayed.So ulitimately in the end the decision is his.

This is just one side of the story. We don't know the other two sides: His and the mother of the baby. Bottom line is the decision to leave or stay is up to the man not anyone else.

ali110: she should be stoned


Not sure if you're trying to be funny, but I don't find stoning of women to be a very funny subject or something to joke about.
On the other hand, could be you have just given your opinion, which is then pretty disturbing on a lot of other levels...
