36-year-old Sean wrote to us in despair. He confessed that he destroyed his family’s happiness by cheating on his wife, Rosa, after 15 years of marriage built on trust. He ended the affair quickly, confessed, and began therapy, but his wife was devastated. She asked him to move out and give her space.
Three weeks later, Rosa suddenly invited him back, acting like the perfect, loving wife. Sean was relieved but puzzled by her frequent gynecologist visits. When he asked, Rosa revealed she was pregnant — and the baby wasn’t his. She admitted to having an affair, saying it was “fair” payback. She suggested they stay together and that Sean could adopt the baby.
Now, Sean is torn. Deep down, he believes Rosa only said this to hurt him in revenge and that the baby might actually be his. But what if she wasn’t lying? He doesn’t know what to do next.
