    Actually calling both children by the same name makes total sense. That way he won't call one child by the other child's name by accident. It's a serial cheater's way of avoiding getting caught. They never use the actual name of any woman in their life but always a name which can be used for any woman.

    I cannot feel any sympathy whatsoever for anyone who is unfaithful to his/her wife/husband - regardless of the circumstances.

    i really don't why anyone would get involved with a married man. He's got three children. It's a betrayal of them all. It so sad.

    Do they really have the time to check specific threads - neither of which had particularly contentious replies, so unlikely to have been reported by posters - and go into that level of detail?


    I'd doubt it.
  • Seems slightly excessive for that user to have written a huge rant about the forum and then declaring they will delete it in 30 minutes :cool:

    How are you doing today Mylife?
    Just trying to make up for past mistakes and work towards the future I want :hello:

    That's very true.

    Bare, not sure why you think I'm lying, asking for help is not a bad thing is it? unfortunately with my situation I can't exactly ask family and friends for support. They wil notl support me having an affair as they also have husbands, of course but they will be disappointed I had an affair. Like I said before my sister's are married and they are bound to be upset at what I did. At times it's easier to speak to strangers , and indeed people on the forum have been kind. Like I said in my post asking for advice has given me food for thought. The post that was emerged had nothing to do with me. My post was under "Messed", You can always ignore the post rather than accuse me of lying.

    Anyway thank you guys for all your insightful comments. I have been at work and could not find time to post.

    On threads such as this one there's usually somebody who pipes up with 'I think the OP is a troll'.


    I don't think that the 2 threads being merged have done either you or the other poster any favours.


    I have sent a pm to one of the board guides asking for them to be split.

    Let's hope that will be done fairly quickly and both threads can get back on topic.

    onedaysome thank you for asking, I have been at work just got home. I am doing okay, I go from excitement to fear that I'm doing the wrong thing. But what other choice to I have.

    ajak81 thank you, not sure why Bare thinks I'm lying, I think such an attitude stops people asking for help. What some people do not realise is that it's not always easy to speak to family. I'm pregnant and I should be telling family/friends but I'm embarrassed because the 1st question will be who is the father? At my age my family expect me to make better decisions than this.

    Polly thank you, your comments have been frank but very helpful, I hope I learn from my mistakes. An affair is exciting but the fall out is not pretty.

    As for Bare, saying I come across as selfish and self centred, I hope he realises that is the nature of affairs, no one comes out smelling of roses. In my post I explained the reason I wanted to keep the pregnancy quite was because I panicked, thought I could do it alone .............obviously not a good idea.

    Also pls note I did not create another post or merge it (I wouldn't know how)

    Above quotes are a little confusing?
