Country,

The destruction of two families is just so sad...so sad. What is also sad is that I think in the end, your STBXW might end up being a single mother with two children by different fathers.

Trust me, that is no woman's life plan. I also don't think most married men enter an affair with the explicit goal of impregnating a woman as soon as possible. No one wins in a situation like this.

Two people have caused so much hurting and why? Personal happiness? Selfishness? Both.

I just can't explain it. (But since your sitch has been one month ahead of mine in every way, I have a terrible fear of the next big news I'll be getting.)

You ARE the better man. Don't forget that. Its so good you can take the high road...good for you and good for your D. Its called integrity...and its rare.
