He And His Wife Just Welcomed Their First Child Together And Then He Found Out He Might Have Another Child From A One Night Stand
A 31-year-old man has been in a relationship with his wife since they were only 17-years-old. They tied the knot 6 years ago, but things between them haven’t always been as easy as they are currently.
He loves his wife, and he knows that he really made her life tough throughout their 20s, but he’s now an adult and that’s all behind him…or so he thought.
“I have been a devoted partner for 9 years now, but I fear that my mistakes from when I was younger will blow up my entire life,” he explained.
Back when he was 21, he was scared of committing and he was also scared of “missing out” so he had a night on the town with his brother and some of their friends one evening.
That night, he cheated on his wife with a woman who happened to be friends with his brother at the time.
As soon as it was all over, he was filled with regret, and he never told his wife about what he did.
From that moment forward, he promised he would treat his wife better and he realized she was the woman he wanted to be with.
Months after he had his one night stand, he and his wife moved to a new state, and he decided to go to therapy to work on himself.
As he bettered himself and his relationship, he figured that one night was all far behind him, except he was wrong; it has come back to haunt him.

Over the weekend, his brother went to spend time with their parents, who still live in the town where they grew up.
While his brother was home, he crossed paths with the girl that he had a one night stand with, and the girl has a 10-year-old daughter.
His brother couldn’t help but notice that this child looked exactly like him, and he decided to ask about who her father was.
Well, the girl he slept with admitted that she knew he was the father of her child, but who knows why she never said anything over the years.
“I don’t know what to do,” he said. “A part of me is being selfish and can only think about how this may destroy my life, but a bigger part of me is telling me that if I am this little girl’s father then she deserves to know.”
“She should have had a father all these years and if I am her dad, I missed out on that, but I am going to be hurting my wife all over again.”
“My wife just had our first child 7 months ago, this will destroy her.”
I guess the past doesn’t always stay in the past. Do you think it’s time for him to tell his wife about that one night, or should he wait to confirm the child really is his?
