I am getting married on 10/18/03. I received by fed-ex a letter from a girl who said that she gave birth to my fiance's daughter 10 months ago (which was before my time). I have been with him for 7 years, but we were broken up for 1 year (this is when that child was conceived) When I confronted him with this he said that he was going to tell me before we got married. The girl said that he has had no contact with her. What should I do?

I am sorry to hear of you finding this out. My H had an affair which the OW got pregnant. It may help you to read over in the pregnancy/child forum. You basically have alot of options in front of you simply for the fact that you are not married yet. However, I am not in any means minimizing the affect/pain this will have on you. I think that you need to sit back and think about how this will affect you in your future relationship with your fiance. Does he want to be a part of the childs life? Can you let the child into your heart and possibly your home? What does your H say about contact? Will you be able to not resent him for not using protection? These are many questions I still have a hard time dealing with, but my situation is alot different than yours. I know the pain of not having him tell you himself, as I too found out via court papers sent to my home. I was 5 months pregnant with our third as his OC had just turned two months old. If you would like to talk , let me know. I may not be around over the weekend as I have family coming in. Read some posts on the Pregnancy/Child board. There may be someone in a similar situation. Hang in there it is a tough road. but not impossible. NGU
