Sir, I will tell you what I would do. I would immediately file for divorce and the grounds would be because of the child which is not yours. I understand you love her, but do not let love run you down a road of stupidity and pain which you would incur for the rest of your life. At this point I would not care what the other guy is saying or doing to her, that was her choice and her problem. If you have any bank accounts, phone bills, insurance, etc.. in joint name, including the apartment I would remove my name from it. Your wife made a choice and it does not involve you, I could go on and on why I believe this and that the proof is in the pudding but who cares at this point. Get out of this extremely bad situation, I cannot see in anyway how it would get better for you.

No, you aren't going to be financially responsible for the new baby if it's not yours. But you will be required to take a DNA test to prove it.
Since you have proof of adultry you will be able to obtain an immediate divorce from her (instead of having to wait the 6 months with no children or 1 year with children).
Good luck & I agree with bulldog, GET OUT NOW.

My heart goes out to you. How long have you been married? I'm a little confused. Does your wife want a divorce? If not, does she want to get back together? Are you willing to raise the child as your own? Don't worry about what the "relatives" are saying. Your wife should have been more responsible. The pregnancy is not your fault. Is your wife wanting to keep this child? Has she thought about adoption? There are so many couples (including myself) that would love to adopt the baby.

The mind says to run fast and the heart says to stay. I know its a hard decision. If you don't have trust or faith in your marriage, it will lead you down a rocky road.

I don't know what your separation agreement was but if you agreed to date other people, it opens up the possiblities of accidents happening. I'm totally against the idea of a separation. If your at that point and can't work things out, its time for a divorce. It sounds like your wife wanted the freedom to mess around.

Have a DNA test done at the time of birth. That will protect you. I don't know about your state, but if the child is given your surname, you are accepting responsibility for the welfare of the child.
