Pregnancy & Motherhood

 



Joey was my very first boyfriend and the one I lost my virginity to. He was my everything at one point but that all changed when he decided to cheat on me. He tore our relationship apart and I couldn't trust him. I forgave him and tried to forget but it was always in the back of my mind. It eventually drove us apart.

 

I was heart broken and didn't know how I would go on without my Joey. He on the other hand moved on rather quickly and started seeing other girls. We remained friends and over time became friends with benefits. I found a new guy but I kept Joey on the side. In time my feelings for my new boyfriend Sal grew and my conscience got the best of me.

I stopped seeing Joey altogether and was totally devoted to Sal. In a matter of months I became ill and thought I had food poisoning or some kind of virus. But it didn't go away. I had nausea and vomited every morning. I figured I must be pregnant so I went to planned parenthood and took a pregnancy test. I was already 8 weeks pregnant and had no idea whether the baby was Sal's or Joey's.

pregant-unsureI kept my pregnancy to myself for 3 more months trying to figure out how to handle it. Sal's mother noticed I was putting on weight and asked him if was pregnant. I decided to tell him the whole truth even the part about me and Joey. He wasn't judgmental, instead he took me in his arms and told me he wants to be a father to my baby whether it's his or not. We discussed telling Joey and decided to let him think it was Sal's baby.

Currently I'm in my 8th month of pregnancy and Sal and I are engaged to be married after I give birth. We are very excited about the baby's arrival. Sal bought a condo and is almost done setting up the nursery. According to the sonogram we are having a boy and we decided to name him William after Sal's grandpa. I really hope the baby is Sal's and doesn't resemble Joey in any way.

I love that he is going to be a man and help take care of you and the baby without even caring if it's his or Joey's. There are real men in the world!!! cue the angel choir!!!

Check the laws in your state. In most states when a baby is born within a marriage the husband is considered the legal father (unless he consents to allowing another man to claim fatherhood). If that's the law in your state you might want to get married BEFORE the baby is born.

Of course that also means that when you & Sal break up he will be legally liable for child support until the child is 18 or out of school, whichever is later. So if you end up going back to Joey after you & Sal break up, Sal is still the legal father unless you all go to court and Sal signs legal papers giving up his parental rights and Joey legally adopts the child.

Things sure do become a mess when you wh*re around instead of conforming to standards of decency that would preclude you getting pregnant before marriage.

Given the state of technological progression, it will be IMPOSSIBLE for you to hide the fact that Sal isn't the father of the child. Sure, 20 years ago (provided Joey and Sal are of the same race and look more or less similar) it would be easy.

Now, there are home DNA kits and some schools even have the kids do biological lab experiments to show how their parents are related to them. Not to mention blood typing. If Joey and Sal have different blood types, it's only a matter of time before your child/teenager figures it out. Again, technology is leaps and bounds ahead of where it was when we were kids....

My Point?

If the kid is not Sal's, you better tell the kid and you better tell Joey and pursue custody via legal channels and legally adopt the kid. Or else, you are in for a lifetime of some serious drama when your kid finds out you lied to him in regards to who is father is/was.

If this guy hurt you so bad by cheating on you, why did you go ahead and see two guys at the same time essentially cheating…wouldn 't you not want to follow in his footsteps? Glad Sal is being a man about things and able to forgive you for not sticking to one man. Hope everything works out for the best for you two...
