Now I want to I don't know what to do.I didn't tell anyone but my bestfriend.My boyfriend begged me not to tell anyone.This is not the 1st time but the OW terminated that time this one wants to keep it.I know I could do better this is not the 1st time he has cheated on me please write me back with advice I think if the girl terminated I would really just stay with him no questions but I can't deal with the OC.Help me please.

Hi allcriedout,<p>I was exactly where you are less than two months ago myself, my SO and I are not married but have been living together for four years, we have a son together and a baby scheduled to be here next week. He is a serial cheater....well here's the link to my story...<p>http://www.marriagebuilders.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=35&t=002464<p>As of right now we are not sure if she is in fact pregnant, but I'm trying not to let that thought overwhelm me as I have my own child to think about, but SO SEEMS TO BE ON THE UP AND UP THIS TIME, AT LEAST FOR NOW. I can't say whether he'll do it again, but I sure hope he means it when he says it won't happen again. It took a lot of communication and understanding to get where we are now, which is really not far, but a big step from where we were. He has ended contact as far as I can see, but I am very wary of everything these days. My motto has become try to trust but always verify. I don't know if a serial cheater can change, but I will give him the benefit of the doubt one last time. I have made up in my mind that I will not stay, and am very capable of living on my own with our children, and if he f#### up its his own fault. Right now he is on the right path, so I'm working with him because I love him still and because of our family. I hope you can come to a resolution that puts peace in your heart, I know how hard this is. You have to give it to God, and go on with what is best for you and your children, the rest will take care of itself. You and yours are in my prayers, feel free to email me if you want to talk at some1s_mom@hotmail.com.<p>Bridgette

Thanks everyone who wrote me.I am still confused. I wish he would be a man and leave.Yesterday I rolled over him(with no clothes on)& he had the nerve to say that how you got pregnant in the first place(I just had a miscarriage,but maybe that was God's will how would we bring another child into this mess)I said that how we both got pregnant.Some kind of why the new OW had some type of contact with the old OW and the old OW told her no matter what she did he wasn't going to leave me.He thinks this is a joke.Is it mean that I want this women to terminate this pregnancy? Am I such a bad peerson? I really wish this was just a dream.I would even pay for the procedure and go and hold her hand!!!!! We ever this happened to other people I would tell them to leave why is it so hard for me to take my own advice>

allcriedout,
I feel you on the abortion issue. I too wish that if she is she would just abort, but on the other hand I hate myself for feeling that way. Nothing I can do about my emotions though, they ten dto get the best of us sometimes. We'll get through this I promise.<p>bridgette
