Made A Terrible Mistake

I was wondering if the man engineered this as perhaps he wanted a family and his wife didn't, or possibly couldn't.
Whilst his actions seem honourable (only in the sense that he's willing to support the child) they seem on another hand a little creepy.
'wanting to go to appointments'
'suggesting names'
Not - imho - the sort of reaction a married man whose mistress has announced she's pregnant would be expected to have.0 -

Not sure I agree. I was adopted and have no knowledge of mine and wouldn't trace saying they owed me that information. What difference does it honestly make? Does everyone worry about dying from what their grandparents did, or being more at risk of getting certain diseases. From what I've seen, it's as much a hindrance, if not more so, than not knowing.
Every child has the right to know - the choice, just as you did.0 -
A couple of things
Rightly or wrongly I have the opinion that the one in a partnership : be that married or involved, in an affair, is far worse than the single.
Maybe he used substandard contraception wanting to trap the other?
Men get a bad press for running from their responsibilities, this guy wants to help, initially monetary but he can't be damned for that. Take the offer and invest.
Ultimately the wife needs to know but that's not your call.Life is like a bath, the longer you are in it the more wrinkly you become.0 -
He wants out of the marriage & hasn't got the guts to tell her. He is using your pregnancy as his excuse. He will be telling all & sundry the baby is his hence his desire to be publicly seen with you, the cowards way of getting someone else to finally tell his wife. As soon as she throws him out he will disappear from both your lives. I do hope you don't work with him as your job is likely to disappear too.0
