let me start out by saying that i usually dont need advice but im truly upset. i am 49 cheated on my wife with a girl half my age, left my wife for her, got a divorce, got engaged, and now im going to be a father for the first time, to my own child. i helped raise my wives daughters, but it just wasnt the same. dont get me wrong im not upset over all of this, in fact i love it. the problem is, is that i have been getting alot of bad looks, and people saying that im too old, and how bad of a guy i was for leaving my wife. what really bothers me is that they say that my fiance will leave me down the road, that when my money runs out so will she. she does not work, but its because i prefer it that way she has another child and i believe that its good that she stays at home with her. she has worked in the past but i can support the both of us. they all say that because we moved things so fast that she was in it for the money. by fast i mean i got caught by my wife 1 month after i started seeing her and 3 months i was living with her and 8 months she was pregnant. are they right? if that was the case she wouldnt get pregnant, i mean she has to be in love with me. i want this baby, always have wanted one. im tired of them telling me im going through a mid life crisis. and that i ruined everything in my life for the young girl and the baby. if she does leave me, how am i going to cope with her taking my child. cause than it would mean that i gave up quite a bit for her.
