He Found Out His Wife Cheated With A Guy From Her Gym, And He’s Not The Biological Father Of Their 3-Year-Old Daughter
It’s hard to imagine raising a child with your spouse for several years only to find out that they’re not biologically yours.
A man felt the need to quickly divorce his wife after finding out that the 3-year-old they’ve raised together isn’t biologically his.
He and his wife are in their early 30s and have been married for seven years. Three years ago, his wife gave birth to their daughter, and he really enjoyed fatherhood.
Interestingly, his wife was a different person after giving birth. While some women sometimes struggle with depression and exhaustion after having a baby, making them distant from their spouses, his wife suddenly became super affectionate and wanted to do anything for him.
She showed her love in many ways and would do extra favors for him, like always baking treats.
“I, of course, didn’t suspect anything since even prior to her pregnancy, as there were no signs of cheating,” he said.
“But it also possibly could be that I just didn’t look close enough into it.”
Everything changed when, two weeks ago, his wife sat him down and told him she found out their daughter wasn’t his. She came clean and confessed that before getting pregnant, she had been having an affair with a guy from her gym that lasted a month.
The guy from the gym eventually ghosted her, and she never saw him anymore, not long before she found out she was expecting.

He began crying and having a breakdown, and even though his wife tried to comfort him and apologize, he felt disgusted with her and couldn’t be near her anymore. After calming down, he packed up his things and left to stay in a hotel.
“While I was leaving, she begged and pleaded with me to forgive her and said that I was the only father her daughter knew,” he recalled.
“After crying myself to sleep in the hotel, I turned my phone back on the next day and [saw] she had blown up my phone. I didn’t read any of [her messages] and just blocked her.”
He spent a few days in the hotel, processing everything and contacting divorce lawyers. He decided to go ahead and file for divorce, as the impact of this news was so powerful that he figured he could never be with his wife in the same way, even though she tried apologizing.
However, his mom and sister got involved in all the drama and, instead of supporting his decision, encouraged him to approach the decision another way, as they didn’t want him to “abandon” his daughter, even if she wasn’t his by blood.
Now, he doesn’t know what to do, as he loves the little girl he raised for three years but doesn’t know if he can handle keeping her or his wife in his life, as he’ll constantly be reminded of her infidelity.
Do you think he should approach the situation differently?
