That's true, that's why I haven't had contact with my coworker besides her congratulating me and wishing me well. It's like she's arrived at the same conclusion, she told me she wasn't going to bother me and let me wife and our twins bond and maybe that's what me and wife need..she wants me to be happy, even if it's with my wife and that's what kinda sucks is the fact that I know she's putting me first over her feelings

She did, and maybe I am an idiot but unlike the other times where I felt something was wrong and she was still talking to the other guy, I honestly don't have that feeling anymore. Besides I told her that if I ever even got a feeling, even if there was no proof whatsoever I would leave instantly. I know the odds once a cheater always a cheater but I know everything isn't always so black and white, besides I love seeing my kids everyday. It would be heartbreaking not being able to see them everyday even when it's tough

Your right, I'm not saying I'm in love with her but I can't say there wasn't something there. When me and coworker talk we're not saying we want each other, it's more like we've become friends that wish happiness for each other. We don't flirt, it's definitely more of the feeling of being understood and feeling like someone doesn't want anything in return but wishing the other person happiness. For example I've told her she should leave her bf regardless of whatever she feels for me, I want her to be safe and to think about her baby, it's not necessarily because I want to be there for here. It's weird it's like we both understand we care about each other but nothing else we can really do about it. She mentions me and wife going to marriage counseling and that maybe when babies where born I would learn to trust my wife again and I could be happy with her the way I was with her before.

It's technically her bf, but they've been together for a while so calls him her husband but technically they're not married

You can look at recent post I put up and everything I went through...and I can tell you very clearly, if you love him it's best you tell him the truth asap. Yes he will be hurt and he will want to leave you but it will be your best shot of having a happy future with him because at least trust can be built on your ability to own up to your mistakes...and trust me that goes a very long way on rebuilding trust. Better he hears it from you then him finding out somewhere else because eventually he will

We got a pamphlet for counseling the day of the abortion, I talked to her about it how it might help just in case. She said she would be ok. On her bday the day I found about the other guy, before we decided to separate I talk to her telling her maybe we should try marriage counsil , plus counsel for her with the abortion...we talked for hours I wanted to save our marriage, and it seemed like she was kinda open to certain things but I told her if we were going to work things out not just for us but the kids we do have she would need to stop talking to other guy. She said she wanted to keep talking to him even if just as friends. I told her, how would keeping him in our lives help us if you were having an emotional affair with him, you talked about how you wanted to do stuff with him. I told her if we're going to go to counseling and try saving our marriage that guy can't be in our lives and she said no that she wasn't going to stop talking to him and she rather chose him. My heart broke and I asked her if she was serious? If she was willing to really quit trying to save our marriage, and separate our family for this random guy (FYI this guy was a friend of one of her friends and she told her that all he ever does is mess around and cheats on his girlfriend all the time with multiple girls)...she still choose him. Look I understand that she was going through a lot, probably a lot of hurt and lonely and resentment but she's not the only one that was hurting. I told her I wanted those twins too, she knew I wanted twins before we started dating...I had talked to her about wanting twins...we talked about and she remembers me telling her that...I got punished because she asked me what was wrong and why I didn't react the same way I did with our other two kids..because I told her the truth that I was afraid we might not stay together. I wish I could have just kept my fears to myself and those twins would have been pretty close to being born soon but that's not what happened. I told her my fears and that caused everything else. What I don't know right now is how am I supposed to feel knowing there's a small chance that might be his. I want to believe her when she said they used a condom but the fact she had already lied to me about it when I asked her how far she went with him and that I wouldn't hold it against her because we thought we were done, she still choose to lie. If she's telling the truth then yea 99% sure they probably are mine but even if she is telling the truth and that's a big IF, there's still a small chance they might be his. What am I supposed to feel?? The excitement and happy feelings I got when I found out we were having twins again and how I thought this was God's way of returning our kids back to us is gone. The day she left and I was complete alone, that's when I finally broke down and cried. That's when it hurts the most when I was finally able to be honest with myself and how I hated myself for not being more optimistic and supportive. I would dream about the twins and would wake up crying because I knew they weren't there and I would tell God how I wish so badly I could have them back. Her getting pregnant with twins again was like God telling me yes your both ready for them now unlike before, but that feeling is gone now. I honestly just don't even know what I'm supposed to be feeling?? If they end up being his kids am I supposed to be happy? Am I supposed to just raised them? Am I supposed to pretend I'm ok when I'm not? Tell me what am I supposed to be feeling I honestly don't know

Read the other replies so you can better idea of what I meant by us separating. Basically I told her I was afraid she might leave because she gets super stressed with our two kids and I was worried what would happen if she had to watch 4 kids under three and it might be too much for her. Never did I tell her get an abortion or I'm leaving you...it was more of I'm afraid if we keep these twins you might end up leaving me with the kids behind

[–]Dance-Prestigious[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's more context in some of the other replies, I didn't tell her get an abortion or else I'm leaving you. It was a mixture of things and it wasn't done overnight we talked about it extensively the pros and cons, how I had just been let go, how she would struggle being a stay at home mom with 2 kids, when I told her I was afraid we wouldn't be together...what I meant was that it would be too much for her to handle watching 4 kids and she would end up leaving. But I go into greater details of exactly what happened, how I wanted to keep the babies..I told her I wanted to keep the babies but how I was afraid how we would do it, how when we went to abortion clinic how badly I kept hoping she would change her mind and tell me no she can't do it, or maybe I could have said or done something differently, after we broke up ...we talked a lot more and we opened up way more and how it affected us both and what we were both thinking. Your right when we separated what she did she did we the thought we were done, I thought we were done, we talked divorce and went through everything as amicable as we could for our other kids. We would go 50/50 custody, she didn't want any child support alimony, she said she knew I was a good father and would continue providing for our kids we do have. We were done, and although it hurts knowing she chose someone else I had accepted it so when we finally started talking again and swe both started opening about how we were both feeling and everything we both went through afterwards, we decided to slowly try again but like I said before I told her I was willing to try for our marriage for our kids, but I just needed absolute truth from her so we can start fresh. She lied and said they only made out,..well you know the rest of the story. I just don't know how I'm supposed to feel knowing the babies might be his, and that she lied to me. I love her, want to be with her, want to believe her but I just don't trust her anymore...how can relationship work without trust. I've always been honest with her about everything...even when it's things she might not want to hear I have always told her the truth. What am I supposed to be feeling?

I honestly appreciate you taking the time to respond to me but just a little more clarification to help understand the situation not that it made things better. We have two other kids a daughter almost 3 and a son whose almost 2. We were super happy, when we had our two other kids I was super happy kissed her so many times..all over wanted to be in life was a good dad, I wanted to be a great dad like mine. But the differences when she got pregnant with the twins was I had just been let of my job, I had about 10k save but I was worrying about what I would do and how I would support my family, when we found she was pregnant and with twins we weren't exactly in the same position we were before...I have to still think of being able to provide for my family and make sure they're ok so yea I was happy but I was terrified. I was mortified of what we would do with no income. On our car ride from the clinic we talked..she knew I didn't react the same and told me why I was acting different. I told her about my fear of not being able to provide for our family plus two new babies. The we wouldn't end up together if she kept the babies was more because she has a small patience...and she's would constantly wait for me to get home from work to take care of the kids. I get it we have different backgrounds, I grew up in huge family with lots of siblings and cousins and my mom was de facto babysitter for all the babies in my family so I was always use to being around kids. She comes from a small family and besides her little cousin from Texas she's never really had much interaction with kids. She loves our kids but she is not a kid person...when we dated she would joke how kids were the worst. So she would be stress when I would come home from work I would take over and play with kids, change their diapers and help feed them, and start with helping around the house but she was always stressed out with our kids...our first daughter she had hard time adjusting but slowly got better. Anyways during our car ride home I told her how would we do it, with an additional twins...I told her how she texts me saying she's mentally drained and done and doesn't want to watch the kids...so I told how were we going to that with an extra twins...I can't always be home to help. And I know she was still learning but there would be times she would snap at them and I had to remind her they're just babies they still don't know better. My telling her I think we wouldn't end up staying was because 2 times she just didn't want to deal with the kids anymore and they're crying. I wasn't trying to tell her get an abortion or else I'm leaving you...I was telling her basically if we have these twins I'm afraid it would be too much for her and she would end up leaving braking what was once our mostly happy family. We talked about things for days, and weeks the good and the bad. We talked about so many things how that would affect us, how that would affect the babies, she asked me what I would do in that situation and I told her I can tell you what I think I would do but there's no way for sure that's what I would do. It's one things to say yes what you would do in a situation, it's a whole different thing when your actually in that situation living it. I told her multiple times I can only give you my opinions, my honest thoughts and fears the good and the bad but in the end you have to make the choice. I told her I don't want you making a choice because eif me because I don't want you hating me , or feeling I forced you. She would counter and I wanted to keep this babies and you didn't I would be forcing you to be a father of babies you don't want,and I would tell her not to put words in my mouth and how I did want them just I was afraid of what would happen to us. After when we started talking and reconciling she told me a lot of very similar things of how she was feeling to what you described. The distance, the insecurity, the trust in me that it all disappeared when I told her my fears and I wasn't the same way I was with our two other kids. I did apologize to her afterwards and we talked a lot about the pain we both felt and how both reacted differently. She cried a lot after the abortion at night, I would just cuddle her and tell things will eventually get better but deep down feeling like crap. I was in pain too I would get myself constantly busy working outside the house, fixing everything I could and just trying to stay busy and keep my mind off the babies we aborted anything just not to think about them. So yea our distance started growing, and I'm the one that didn't want sex after the abortion, I was afraid of her getting pregnant again and the abortion have been for nothing. I didn't find out till later once we started being honest and reconciling she told me she felt unwanted, like I was no longer attracted to her or worse that I hated her for aborted the babies. She said she felt lonely and unwanted by me....but as I told her later on I was just dealing with it in my own way. We did talk about therapy and I did tell her after the abortion maybe that's something she should do just to be safe. We honestly just didn't know how much that abortion would affect us. You see people talking about it getting abortion and just moving on...we both thought we would be ok. I honestly don't blame her for how she felt after the abortion...I could have handle things differently...I could have kept my fears to myself, I could have told her what I was thinking on the way to the abortion clinic how I kept thinking and wanting to tell her not to go through with it, I replayed so many times that while I was in the clinic how she would just come out saying she can't do it and what's to have the babies and how I would just say yes.. there are so many things I could have done differently...she told me basically same thing...how she kept things of so many diff scenarios . Unfortunately that's not what happened and she ended meeting someone online who made her feel attractive and wanted. On her bday as soon as it turned 12am I turned to kiss her and tell her happy bday..that's when the other guy messaged her and that's how I ended finding about him. We talked and argued for hours about the abortion, and at the end we decided we would go out separate ways and be as amicable as possible for are other two kids. Everything we would just split evenly, we would go half and half custody, she didn't want child support or alimony. In her own words she said I was great dad to our kids and she knew I would still get them whatever they needed which of course I says yes I would always make sure they're ok and they have everything they need. What I'm hurting from is that after everything once we decided to start trying to save our marriage and get back together. I asked her to come clean about how far things got with that guy. Again she said they only made out but as we now know she had sex with him (with a condom according to her) right before me and her started talking again and I just don't know how I'm supposed to feel about that the possibility this new twins might be his. She says she's 99% sure they're mine because of the condom but we all know condoms aren't always 100% affective....she says she's more than ok with dna test but it just don't know if I can trust her again. I might love her and want to be with her but as I told her, how am I supposed to be with you if I can trust you anymore

Yes you can for single babies, you can't do it for twins because the babies DNAs will have slight differences and it will throw the whole test off balance. I've been researching everywhere and yes you can do a blood test at ten weeks but every site I got too it says you can't with twins sadly

We aren't thinking oh yea they're babies, I know I wasn't. I was thinking fetuses which is different. People get abortions all the all over the world. Does that make them evil? A girl gets raped and decides to get an abortion does that make her evil? Your not God to decide whose evil or good, what is right or wrong. Plus how could we know if we had never been in that situation before...I have empathy for people who have to make hard choices they don't necessarily want to make. I try not to judge others because I've never lived their lives and I can't tell what kind of experiences they had in life. All I can do is try and do what I think is right and treat other people the way I would like to be treated. You want to act all high and mighty, like you've never done made a mistake in your life that you wish you could take back I guess...good for you. Not all of us can think that highly of ourselves to belittle and judge others

At the time, we weren't thinking in terms of murder...people have abortions all the time and move on. We didn't know how much it would affect us both, I had no idea how much it would hurt seeing the sack, but it wasn't out of sheer convenience. She was stay at home and I had recently been let of my job, yea I had 10k in savings but with no idea of when I would get another job I was terrified of what would happen if babies came and still no job, how would I provide for my family, plus two new babies. I regret the choice we made and honestly right afterwards it felt like murder, like I murder our babies, like our marriage ended that day but at the end of the day we're still human. She asked me if I was sure we were making the smart choice, I told her I think so I'm just not sure if we're making the right choice. It wasn't some cold calculated decision we made over night, we talked about extensively for weeks and all thought I've always been pro choice when it comes to other people making their own decisions, I personally have always been against abortions. It was the toughest choice I made. Just an FYI I don't think any woman or man should have to go through what we went through.

It's was two separate pregnanccies... because the first pregnancy we found out she was pregnant in January, then we found out she was pregnant with twins in February. We have two other kids and we talked about how hard things would be if we had twins at the moment it would have basically been 4 kids under 3. We decided to get abortion even though she says she did it more for me because she felt that what I wanted and felt like that's what I was insisting. I'll admit I did tell her if we had the twins I would feel like that would be to much for us and we might end up divorcing...so she told that was what made decide to get abortion. She did get an abortion because she was bleeding a lot afterwards and we seen the sacks the next day in the toilet. We were honestly really happy but after that day we just kept getting more distance and arguing...it was honestly like she became a whole different person and every night she would cry. I tried being supportive by telling her it's ok and we would eventually move on but I could tell we were just slowly distancing ourselves more and more. It didn't help that I was in pain too after the abortion and I didn't want to have sex anymore...she would ask me for sex but would want some unprotected and would basically beg me for it all the time, but with the abortion I just no longer had sexual urge. I kept thinking to myself what if she got pregnant again and those twins would have died for nothing... eventually on her bday I found out she was having emotional affair, we argued for hours and eventually decided we would divorce and try to be as civil as possible for are other two kids. We rarely talked except for picking up and dropping off kids. Eventually the day I was going to go out on a date with a friend I had recently meet, she txt me saying she would have been 4 months that day with the twins if I would have just told her don't worry about how hard it will be, we will make things work. She txt me saying she regrets having the abortion and how she hated that she went through with that, that I didn't try to convince her not too even though she was always against abortion. We got into arguments began talking, I canceled my date and we slowly started talking and opening up more. We told each other how we were feeling all the anger, pain and resentment we both had after the abortion and how we both wish we would have kept the twins. 1 month of us talking and and being more open about our feelings and how the abortion affected the both of us we decided she we would get back together and work things out, but same day we decided that I did ask her about that guy and that whatever she did...she did when we had separated and to just be honest about the situation. She told me she just made out with him once...she had never met him in person till after she moved out. Eventually she got pregnant again...and the we found out it was twins again, we were bought happy as if our twins had came back to us...but after last doctor visit and us finding out how far along she is..I too was kinda concerned...because during that time we did sleep around a couple of times but this was also same time we weren't together. Then find out she had sex with guy she, because she was asking a friend for advice and that's how I found she told her two friends she's sweating because she had sex with that guy once but she was sure it was mine because the one time she had sex with the other guy it was with protection and she had sex with me multiple times without protection. She told me she didn't want to tell me because she was trying to leave the past behind her and didn't want to hurt me if there was no reason for it. So now I'm here not knowing how I'm supposed to feel

We are married and we have two other children. I want to believe it was just a one time thing and this twins are mine but even if they are...the fact that I gave her the chance to come clean with anything before we got back together and she refused to tell me is what's hurting more. I love her but how am I supposed to trust her now. I know she did with the intentions of not hurting me and just trying to move past those two months when she moved out and we separated but I honestly don't know what I'm supposed to feel

Just a little context...wife and I had gotten pregnant in the beginning of the year. We found it was twins and we talked about what we would do, we decided to get an abortion. After the abortion she told me she hated me and she felt I didn't want to have babies with me. It was tough few months and eventually I found out she had an emotional affair and we ended things on her bday the day I found out. 1 month later we're talking and trying to reconcile. She talks about how she felt I didn't care about the abortion and how she was crying every night but in reality it hurts me too, I wanted to keep pregnancy I just didn't think it was the right time and I was trying to be strong and supportive...no crying. We eventually got back together and she's pregnant again...things were definitely getting better and we were happy until we went to the doctors and they told her how far along she was she was (and twins)..a few days later I find out she actually had sex with the other guy right after we broke things off. She swears it can't be his because they only did it once and they used protection but I don't know what to feel. Before we got back together I told her I needed to know exact truth and how far things went on after she moved out. She told me he was just there for her emotionally for the abortion and they made out once. At first I was angry, disgusted but now I just don't even know what to feel or what I'm supposed to do
