First of all, are you sure that the father is not you? As you can't count such things exactly, it's better to take non-invasive prenatal paternity testing https://dnasu.com/services/prenatal-test/ Formally, she didn't cheat at you, you had separated, but, of course, she shouldn't have done it. If you love her and want to be with her, there is an only option is try to forgive her and accept the child. Maybe don't sign the birth certificate. So if you want to divorce there less problems (in condition baby knows that you're not the father).

I agree that you should walk away from this. Good intentions don't fix a permanent problem.

And there is a real possibility she only came back to you because she feels you would make a better husband/father than the other guy.

I'd say leave it. I've known people in your situation, they have all good intentions to start with but it just ends up in tears. I say that because it is easier said than done trying to love another mans child.

Fatherly Advice agony auntI don't see a problem if you are both committed to fidelity from this point of forever. If you are still thinking about other women, if she is still interested in changing partners frequently there is no point in either of you settling down at all.

There is one thing you need to get firmly settled in your mind. If you want to be with her you are going to have to be a father to a child of another man. If you can't love him as your own then you should not commit to this woman.
