Do any of you ever watch this on E? There was one on this weekend that really made me think of this board. It was about a MM who got into an A with a woman, slept with her three times. After the third time he couldn't handle the guilt and started backing off. OW started acting funny so he decided to cut it off clean, that's when she said she was pregnant. He said he didn't think it was his, that he wanted to move on with his life, and to please not contact him. He never told his wife. About a year and a half later a letter comes from CS office. At first his wife thinks it is a mistake, when she calls him about it he says I'm coming home right now.
When he gets home he has to tell her all. She is of course devestated (I bawled my eyes out watching this show). He submits for a DNA test which he likened to being tested for a disease (his words, not mine). After waiting like 20 weeks they get the results, negative, 0% chance it his child. They said the hugged and cried for an hour in the car after reading it. I also found interesting that the H endured a lot of anger and wrath from his wife, yet was determined to stay with her and make things right. She said she blackened his eye, broke things, you name it.
It was gut wrenching to watch, but I found myself really pulling for them. The wife was heartbroken, you could tell, and the H was full of guilt and embarassment. I was so happy the test came back negative!!

I just saw the show, it was hard to watch & just re-enforces the devastating affects of an A more especially if there is an OC or the possibility of one involved, & how many people are hurt.
They were very blessed that he was not the father of that baby & he is very very blessed she chose to stay with him & stand by him.
He was a truly remorseful H & even with the "happy ending" they had u could tell he was truly grateful that he didn't lose her & regretted his A.
I pray that all or at least some of the newbies who find theirselves on this board will have the same outcome.
To all of you who are new here -this situation does not have to be the end of your M.

I rarely watch tv. THAT would be esp. hard to watch, but how could we tear away from it? Whew.
It reminds me so of my story (his guilt and remorse, my devastation), only the A was longer and the DNA was +. Sad, sad. Glad they stuck together.

I TRULY felt for her (the wife) while watching the show. She could hardly talk about what happened without sounding choked up. I'm happy to hear they are still doing well. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />
