Exposure is always the best way.....you need to control the message before she does, she is the practiced lier. Do it sooner than later.

Tell more than your family, share with her family, and your mutual friends and if your ex-friend is in a relationship (other than your wife) tell her.

I found this helped me after my W cheated and left me. Knowing that "our" friends weren't going to stab me in the back too felt good... however over time many of those friends still remain close with her and I get conflicted over my resentment for that. I have since dropped a lot of those friends, or atleast not given them any thought or put in effort in my relationships with them. Through my separation experience so many things change including people whom you consider dear to you, you find out which friends want to be your friends, you learn which ones are not really good for you, and you make new ones.

Expose absolutely. File for divorce, separate finances, protect yourself and your son.

Been there done that. Yes you can get away from her.

I left my wife after discovering her infidelities. I have 2 sons.

I have adjusted to being an every other weekend dad, and only have to deal with her when its about my boys.

I have told her that the only contact with her I will entertain is when its about them, and its important.

There is a great life waiting for you, you just have to make the move. Leave her to live out her miserable unscrupulous life. With her character, she will continue to make the wrong choices and it will come back to her twofold.

Listen to this advice. I was once in the same place you are. Drinking myself into oblivion seemed like the only way to make the hurt end. If I had kept it up much longer I wouldn't be here right now. Someone I love and trust convinced me to get professional help. I was prescribed Wellbutrin and it saved my life. It didn't make the pain stop but it kept it from overwhelming me, it made it something I could face without destroying myself.

Is it possible that she knew she became pregnant with the OM and that was the reason that she came back? She and your so-called friend are a real piece of work. You will be much happier in the long run when you get this toxic person out of your life. Good luck.

Have to move on this because their are very hard timelines, if you wait too long the courts will not even consider the issue.

Not to put this in your head to hurt you, just motivation: Your wife didn't stop having sex with this dude after she came back, your friend fathers the child. Now you get divorce and don't clarify the issue; you divorce and have to start paying child support. She moves and maybe even marries the ex-friend, it comes out you are not the father. Imagine the pain of financially supporting them to raise their child, 18+ years, every month, maybe even having to pay a percentage of medical and daycare.

The above is SO important!

Right now you are in trauma. Your emotions are everywhere and nothing else matters to you coz you can't think straight for yourself.

If you have a friend, one you can trust, ask them to go with you to a lawyer. Get the friend to act as a listening ear because you aren't likely able to deal with the hard financials and options.

Happiness and health may not be something you can see right now, or for a long time but in order to deal with this to protect yourself and your son, you need to get medical help as others have said. Ask about a test for your son, or as others have posted, a buy off the shelf kit but, the doctor route is best.

Stop drinking. Your head is already in a state of flux and being in a drunken stupor will make it much worse.

Rally someone and if no-one maybe a good neighbour can keep you on the straight and narrow through this difficult time.

Leave your wife to deal with herself at the moment. You need to sort yourself out. Eitherway, if you are the father or not, what you do now is important to help you so you can help your helpless dependent little one.

You rid yourself of the booze and stand proud drawing on what inner strength you have left and take action to protect both you and the child.

Deal with wifey later. For now it's you and the kid and survival. You need a home and money to ensure both your wellbeing.

Wifey can leave, if necessary. She is the one that caused all this pain by stepping out on both you and the kid.

She is the one to do any heavy lifting.

Thank you all for your responses. I have stopped drinking by my self. We have begun to deal with issues like finances and taking care of our son. I am pushing her as far out of my life as i can get her and my true friends are helping my through this. I still feel everyday like i cant deal with this but it is getting better. I know you all understand what im going through and that it will take time to overcome this. Thank you again.

One step at a time,


Have a DNA test, it sounds like you need verification of who the genetic farther is. I hope in your case your son is yours however I suggest you prepare for the worse.

Get that DNA paternity test done now. It very affordable, around $100 or so. Can even order online.

When used in legal proceeding, a slightly more expensive procedure is required due to the need to track the chain of handling of the DNA evidence.

I agree with those who insist that you have the PT run. With the doubt already planted, he will NEVER be your son in the back of your mind until paternity is established.
Experience has taught me this.

Paternity test is a good idea, I second [ninth?] the motion.

Also, about telling your family. Once you do, you can't take it back. They will probably never, ever, be able to accept her again. If you are not absolutely determined to divorce, you might want to wait until the results of the test.

So sorry you are going through this. Stay strong!

Stop drinking! Your going to get yourself in a heap of trouble while on a drinking rage. Take up running, it's the perfect stress reliever and so much healthier then a drunken stooper.
