Infidelity

That's a tough call with the kids. Not sure if anything positive comes out of knowing either way. No?
 
With the hiding it for four years I guess I could see the physical hiding of it with weird hours at work. That's still weird to me nothing was suspicious for all that time.

But even then it'd be the emotional side of it that would be hard not to notice I would think. How to do you fake a solid marriage?
 
He does have the advantage that when his kids get older and find out what happened, they will probably sympathizes with him more and just think their mom is kind of a slut that ruined their family.
 
Did you ever think she was biologically yours though?

I knew before she was born that she wasn't. However I put in the work. I was there when she went to school, learned to ride a bike, swim, read. I took her to her games, doctors appointments. Babied her when she was sick. Who is to ever tell me she isn't mine?

If that is anyones opinion here then to hell with you.

Edit: I did get a DNA test just in case though and I hoped that I would be wrong.

Very well said Stoked.
 
My father stayed with my mom for us, the kids, and in doing so, presented an unhealthy relationship for years and years and years. Similarly, I can't imagine living a life, pretending it never happened, and trying to reconcile something that for me is irreconcilable, just for the kids. A single parent home sort of sucks I'm sure but if both parents remain active and positive in their children's lives, I see no reason they can't be raised as well, if not better, than a home where smiling through your teeth becomes the norm.

File for divorce, go for custody of the kids, and move on.

I know this is anecdotal and just my opinion but opinions were asked and this is mine.

I'm just saying you would probably have an emotional reaction, at least initially, if you had found she wasn't yours after 4 years of thinking she was.

I decided that it would be better for my children to see their mother and I happy but seperated then learn from experience to associate marriage with unhappiness.

Oh I am sure you would but that is still his child. Like all that crap about the difference between a dad and a father that annoying people put on FB.
 
My daughter is not biologically mine, but there is no possible way I could love her more even if she was my own flesh and blood.
