This one takes the cake... My 44-year-old WH, now in midlife crisis, unhappy that I've only borne him one child, is having an affair with a 49-year-old. In order to hang on to him, she agrees to try to have a child with him. She even tells him that two doctors have told her she is capable of bearing a healthy child. Ha! He is buying it big-time. He's told me that if she has his child it would be a wonderful "gift" for him. Is that nauseating or what?<p>But he's beginning to sober up a little, and is even contemplating putting an end to the relationship. I warned him that within the month after stoppng the relationship he will get an urgent call from this desperate OW, saying that she is now pregnant (which will of course be a lie) and he can't abandon her now. My WH admits that this is a possibility.<p>Anybody have similar experiences? What do you do with a crazy and desperate 49-year-old who tries to hang on with a feigned pregnancy?

49 year olds can get pregnant. Some easily.<p>I don't know exactly what you should do but the sooner he stops having sex with her and gives up all contact the better chance for your marriage.

I dont know if I should even reply to this thread.
Nursebetty..Bridgetjones??? seems a bit odd.<p>AS for the medical record. Yes a 49 can get pregnant. With IVF and donor eggs. She can get pregnant on her own of course. But the risk of a child with birth defects, and downs is HUGE. In my 18 years in OB, I have never seen a 49 y/o have a healthy baby without donor eggs. In fact I have never seen a 49 y/o have a baby without the aid of ART... NOR have I even heard of it...Most women at this age if they get pregnant on their own they miscarry....sorry the "movie stars" did have donor eggs their children were miracles (as all children are) but it was ART that got them there...no matter how much they deny.
