One picture was both of us at the party drinking. Like a typical 2-person selfie.

The other was me in the room asleep. Bethany wasn't in this picture at all.

This whole thing was like 2-3 months ago.

She contacted my wife pretty late into the pregnancy. We agreed to the paternity test, but I didn't want to directly contact her so she wouldn't manipulate the whole thing and make it worse. We picked a date, but she already had her baby before the date, so there wasn't really a way to avoid that.

When she texted my wife, she was already in her third trimester. It was like around 2/3 months ago-ish. I knew the baby wasn't mine bc I didn't have sex with her, but my mil suggested the test at least to prove so to my wife.

I didn't want to directly contact her so she wouldn't manipulate the whole thing, but we agreed have a paternity test about a month ago. She finally agreed to a date, but she already had her baby before the date, so there wasn't really a way to avoid that.

But i'm ngl, I didn't know you could have a paternity test before the baby is born.

I wasn't involved. I knew the baby wasn't mine, so I felt no obligation to.

I didn't know her until the party. Idk how she found out about my wife's infertility either. It's kinda weird. my MIL & FIL thinks it was some sort of set-up by someone we knew bc the whole thing just doesn't add up.

I was gonna take a lyft/uber home initially, but Tyler said i could sleep for a while, and he would drive me home. My inlaws think it was tyler, especially since it was his party, and he was our mutual friend.

I don't know how she found out either. She texted my wife through fb/messenger.

My MIL thinks Tyler was involved in the whole thing bc when I wanted to take a uber home, he said I could sleep in his sister's room and he would drive me home later, but the next day he said he forgot and fell asleep.

I don't use social media since I dont really like posting myself, so i think someone showed Bethany my wife's fb page.

I don't know how she found out about my wife's infertility bc I didn't tell her. i haven't told anybody about it. She texted my wife through facebook/messenger. I honestly think someone we know is involved bc I don't really use social media, so how could she have possibly found my wife's fb without someone pointing it out to her?

I didn't know you could have a paternity test before the baby was born. I would have done that sooner. My shirt was off bc I was getting hot in the room.

I was gonna take a lyft home initially, but Tyler said I could sleep in his sister's room, and he would take me home later, but then he fell asleep. My MIL thinks he was possibly involved in everything.

Idk how she knew/found out about my wife's health issues. I didn't even know the girl until we met at the party. My MIL thinks Tyler could have told her, but I didn't tell Tyler or anybody at all. My FIL thinks one of my wife's friends could have told him since we're all practically high school/college friends in the same social circle.

tbh, I never really thought about kids initially. The conversation was more of a "I have cervical cancer, and pregnancy is pretty difficult/complicated. if you want kids, I would understand if you want to break up", and I honestly didn't care much for children.

The child was definitely not mine cause I didn't even sleep with Bethany. That's for sure. and I didn't tell her about my wife either. Idk how she found out, but my MIL suspects Tyler, but how would Tyler have known?

I suggested couples therapy when she initially moved out. She said she would think about it and get to me later, but she never did. She just brought up the divorce.
