Hello again,<BR>I just thought of another question. To husbands that have OC with OW and to wives who have OC with OM: What were your in-law's reaction to the OC when they found out?<P>Neptune

That is sad. How does that make you feel? <BR>-<BR>I have talked to 2 of my inlaws. They were both nice and supportive. However, since I am still pregnant, it is undetermined who the real father is at this point. I have a thought that my inlaws would accept the OC, but there would always be an awkwardness in the air. <P>Neptune

I think you misunderstand. My H has OC with OW. My inlaws want nothing to do with it. My H has no contact with it either.<P>JCM

Neptune,<P>My parents have accepted (and adore) our "OC". They knew my wife was having an affair just before we separated (we told them). They were loving and supportive of my wife as much as they could be---and my mother is like a mother to my wife (her mother died several years ago). But again, taking a opinion poll isn't going to help you with YOUR situation. It sounds like your in-laws will forgive you and love the child, so that doesn't appear to be a major issue. It's your husband who needs to do this to have it work---and I would advise against having his parents try to pressure him to do so.
