I confess…my husband is not the father of my child.

Yes, I cheated on my husband, but he cheated on me first and more than once. Our marriage has always been rocky. Truthfully, we got married because I was pregnant with our first child, a daughter.

There have been plenty of good times and I love my husband. But he has a wandering eye. I caught him cheating on me with a co-worker. I kicked him out of the house.

I know it was childish, but I was hurt and angry so I slept with this guy named Vince. I met him on the ferry. The affair lasted three months. By then, my husband had talked his way back into my heart…made easier when I discovered that I was pregnant. There is no doubt in my mind that Vince is the father of my son. He looks just like his father…and acts like him too.

Well, fast-forward five years, my husband and I are in counseling and things are finally working out between us. He hasn’t cheated on me in a year. Things have never been better between us. For the first time in nine years, I believe that our marriage can be a happy, loving relationship.

Last week, I received a call from Vince. He wants to be a part of his son’s life.  Vince, now a born-again Christian, wants to right all of his wrongs, which apparently includes fathering a child by another man’s wife. He’s so excited that he wants to meet his son as soon as possible.

My husband thinks he’s my son’s father and my son loves his daddy. I don’t want to destroy their relationship. My husband may not have been faithful to me, but he has always been a loving father to both my kids.

Today, I received another call from Vince. He was understanding of my situation, but he said that if I don’t tell my husband and his son the truth, he will. Plus, he even went so far as to threatening to take me to court if necessary. What do I do?

Signed,
