I'm posting this after reading Carolina Belle. As I said before, OW is pregnant, and should be having my husband's child soon. I recently found out I am also pregnant. I was wishing that I could be in Carolina's place and at least not have to be pregnant at the same time she is.<BR>When the OW called, she was basically feeling me out. I confronted her, I was civil. I told her I wanted to be certain she had no more designs on sex with my H. She then went into another identity (really!) Suddenly, she gave me another name, saying she & my H really were good friends, that they never did anything disrespectful toward me, and if she had, she wouldn't have the nerve to speak with me.<BR>She sounded nervous, a bit fearful, anxious. She kept saying how he always talked about me and how much he treasures and loves me.<BR>H & I are working things out, building trust and companionship again. I still don't feel as glad as I would like to about MY baby, I know this is not either child's fault. I am prayerful, but what else do I do to get over this selfishness, because as for my pregnancy that's all it boils down to.<BR>The OW isn't harassing me, I think that was her round-about way of saying she was sorry for her part in what happened.

Hi. Thanks for the support. No she is not married, she is 32. (I am 25) She does have 3 other children and she supposedly did not want to have any more babies. My original posting is in Just Found Out, dated about March 10, could be later. But I do want to be okay with what has happened as far as moving on with my marriage.

Have you thought about requesting a paaternity test for OW's child? I'm sure you don't want to cause any more problems than there already are, but I think I would have to be sure beyond a reasonable doubt that the baby is his. I would make sure your doctor is aware of your emotional state. I can only imagine the pain you are in and you will be in my prayers. My H had many night stands, some of these occurred before he had a vasectomy. I will always wonder if there is a child out there somewhere and my prayer is that the child find us.

Oh I didn't mention it but the same day H told me of the OW in the same breath he was also assuring me that he would be obtaining a paternity test. I do realize this child needs his father, so I am coming into compassion for the child and want H to take care of his responsibility. We still counsel, and are making progress. I am still separating what is really important versus the questions I have. He is finally allowing me to help him in some of his issues, instead of hiding them from me. I am becoming more clear on my boundaries with him, and being VERY patient. I am definitely working to kill the bitterness. Funny how it sometimes seems to come from out of nowhere! I want the pain to be over Last Week, (smile) but I see that rebuilding our marriage will take time. And a lot of work. I do believe we are getting past this with the help of God. Thanks for your prayers!
