Quote: Forgive me for sounding a little testy, but I guess I don't fall in the category of those who believe that in a broken partnership, the mother should raise the child while the absent father is left with only the financial burden.
Actually, what I said was that the best thing for the child would be to be given up for adoption. I'm only facing the reality that IF she chooses to keep it (a choice you have no hand in, unfortunately) - it would be more confusing to the child, I think, to be going back and forth and grow up knowing it was conceived from an affair. And with a father who's going to feel guilt when he sees the child, and a stepmom who will inevitably feel resentment - it just doesn't seem the best situation for a child.
But hey - let's not forget I don't even think she's pregnant - so let's quit borrowing trouble, okay? Ellie
