Hello all I'm new here I desperately need advice meanwhile I've been getting bad advice unfortunately must say all the wrong advice for the past two years.
I was contacted on social media from a woman claiming her in my husband had a child. Together This was two years ago. The situation has been nothing but a nightmare.so far my husband did a DNA test which came back as him being the child father. I absolutely Wasn't excited about the situation at all because the child is the same age as my son which means we we're pregnant at the same time how disgusting of him.
Not to mention we share five children together this woman has made my life a complete living hell me and my husband argue extremely too much over this nightmare. she's been telling me she wants our children to meet but she never attempted doing so for the last two years although I actually was all for it. But at this time in my life I just don't wanna deal with her or her child. I embrace the situation attempted communicate with her only because there is a child involved.
My husband only saw the child one time she makes sure she tells me how many years he's been in her bed she's always telling me she's not going to sleep with him anymore she just wants him to co-parent with her but doesn't wants me calling although she contacted me on social media. she took out a fake retaining order out which the judge thrown out She gets upset when my husband doesn't contact ther I'm just done with the whole situation so sick of the bs he definitely betrayed me but yet he's a good provider he takes care of his family said he's sorry for making a mistake cut off all contact with her years before I even found out. please all advice will be appreciated...

Hello Nahja, welcome to Marriage Builders. Dr Harley is the founder of Marriage Builders and here is what he advises: What to Do with a Child of an Affair

When the unfaithful husband and the betrayed wife have children together, the decision to have no contact with the child of an affair is much easier than when there are no children. My argument is that any contact with child of an affair puts the security of the other children at risk because it greatly increases the likelihood of divorce. Whatever benefit there might be to the child of an affair would be a disadvantage to the children of the marriage. Dr Harley advises that there be no contact between your husband and the child or the other woman.

I embrace the situation attempted communicate with her only because there is a child involved. You and your husband should have NO contact with her EVER. Continued contact will destroy your marriage and that will harm your children.

So what is your plan? Are you and your WH going to have NC with her? You'll need to close all avenues that she uses to contact you including all your social media.
FWW/BW (me) WH 2nd M for both Blended Family with 7 kids between us Too much hurt and pain on both sides that my brain hurts just thinking about it all.

Since joining this group everyone said it shouldn't be any contact I thought that was the right then to do when I realize her trying to hurt me as well as my children wasn't at all the right thing to do she's waiting for my husband to be a father and maybe be with her although she said she's doesn't want him

Alot of people are very liberal with "advice" when it is not them having to pay the price. YOU and your children have to pay the price. You need to do what is best for you and your children.

The other woman is making life a living hell.
Life shouldn't be a living hell.
Take the thing that is making your life a living hell out of your life.
It's really simple and straightforward as long as you don't listen to people who want to sacrifice your well being for their warped ideas.

I was in quite the pickle at 34 feeling like a romantic disaster, searching for a little meaning in my life, and of course, my long lost Prince Charming. My heart belonged to my childhood sweetheart, I tried everything to get him out of my head, but the more I fought it, the more I felt like I was in a rom-com gone wrong. So, I decided to seek for help because I wanted to feel like a proper woman again, not just a “lost cause” wandering through life.
I reached out for both psychological and spiritual help, that’s when I met a rather unexpected advisor (a quirky friend who tells it like it is). He dissected my romantic history like a surgeon and revealed that my destiny was tied to my childhood love (I never mentioned him to anyone, but somehow, this spiritualist knew) He assured me my ex felt the same way, and that I was the key to helping him find his path again. Now, keep in mind, my ex and I hadn’t spoken in over 18 years. I had no clue if he was even alive, let alone what he looked like. But I believed the advice I received and let him cast a goodwill love spell. I was told I’d hear from him within 48 hours.
Well, 48 hours came and went, and I was a bundle of nerves, I wrote back for clarification, and guess what? My advisor chuckled and told me to check my messages. Lo and behold, there was a text from my ex 😳turns out he’d been trying to reach me but couldn’t for some bizarre reason. He got my number from my cousin at a local restaurant (thank you, spaghetti and meatballs 😜). The conversation flowed as if no time had passed at all. It felt like my heart had been waiting for this moment forever. Fast forward to now 30th of this month marks our one year reunion anniversary.
So, if you’re in a similar boat feeling lost, longing for a past love, or just trying to restore your relationship reach out to omegalovetemple@gmail.com I can’t thank Omega enough for helping me rediscover my happiness. Trust me, your Prince Charming might just be waiting for you too. Don’t remain single for the rest of your life.
