My ex-wife was jealous. We were married for 3 years, and I lost count of the number of times I had to humble myself and apologize, going to her house to bring her back home. She was jealous for no reason, but I endured it all.

The last time, she got jealous again when she saw me being intimate with a female colleague. I was so fed up that I didn’t even bother to apologize. Yet, she insisted on a divorce. Both our parents tried to stop us, but I didn’t sign the papers. She then decided to file for a unilateral divorce, and I had no choice but to agree.

After the divorce, she cut off all contact with me, which left me confused as I didn’t think I had done anything wrong. Then, just last month, 7 months after our divorce, I was informed by a mutual friend that she had given birth.

I counted the months, and I was sure the child was mine, so I rushed to her house to see the baby.

Indeed, as soon as I saw the baby, I was 99% sure it was my child because it looked so much like me. However, no matter how much I asked, my ex-wife refused to admit it and insisted that I leave:

– Just go home. We have nothing to do with each other anymore, and this child is not yours. You don’t have to take any responsibility for it.

– How can I believe you? Even your parents think the baby looks exactly like me. Don’t lie to me anymore. Weren’t you pregnant when we broke up? For the sake of our child, let’s get back together. After all, we didn’t have any major issues when we divorced. Can’t you put your pride aside for our child?

However, my ex-wife still insisted on kicking me out. I had no other choice but to loiter around her house for several days. I was sure she would change her mind for the sake of our child.

Finally, she had no other choice but to invite me in to talk one last time. She said:

– The more you do this, the more guilty I feel towards you. I once wished that this child was ours, but it’s really not yours, even though it has your features.

– What do you mean?

I turned to look at the baby, who was almost a month old. It had my big ears, my nose, and my mouth. Her parents didn’t understand what she was saying either, so they wanted to hear our conversation.

She replied:

– The baby is V.’s.

– What do you mean, V.’s? Why would it be his?

When she said that, I suddenly remembered V.’s face – my best friend since childhood. That’s right, V. also looked like me, and people often said that we looked like brothers, probably because we were so close. So, in reality, the features I saw in the baby were actually V.’s, not entirely mine.

At that moment, my ex-wife confessed that while I was away on a business trip, V. came over to fix the faucet. My ex-wife was sick at the time but didn’t tell me. V. took care of her, and they developed feelings for each other, eventually crossing the line. Realizing their mistake, V. disappeared and went abroad, which explained his sudden decision to leave the country.

As for my ex-wife, after finding out she was pregnant with V.’s child, she felt guilty and remorseful towards me. That’s why she always found excuses to divorce me.

Hearing her story, my mind was blown away by the unimaginable truth.

I spent a week thinking about it and then decided to go back to my ex-wife’s house with a plea:

– Let’s get back together. What happened was an accident, and I’m partly responsible too. You’ve tried to fix your mistake, but now the child is suffering for something that’s not their fault. V. doesn’t even know about the baby, so let me take his place as the father. Our child deserves a happy family.

After hearing my words, my ex-wife burst into tears, touched by my forgiveness and willingness to accept her and the baby.

Confession from reader haidang…

When a wife has a child with her husband’s best friend, it’s a complex and emotionally charged situation. Whether the husband should care for and love the child depends on various factors, including personal emotions, marital status, and family dynamics. Here are some reasons and aspects to consider:

1. Emotions and Responsibilities

Unconditional love: If the husband feels love for the child, it may stem from his paternal instincts. All children deserve love and care, regardless of the circumstances. If the husband feels responsible for the child, providing care and love can create a positive environment for the child’s development.

Building relationships: Caring for and loving the child can help build a positive relationship, not only between the husband and the child but also between the husband and the wife. This can reduce tension and create a more harmonious family atmosphere.

2. Impact on Marital Relationship

Open communication: The husband’s care and love for the child can evoke complex emotions in his relationship with his wife. Open and honest communication between them is crucial. They should discuss how they feel about the situation and how they want to raise the child.

Wife’s emotions: Consider the wife’s emotions about her husband caring for the child. If she feels comfortable and accepting, it can facilitate a harmonious family environment. On the other hand, if she feels jealous or uncomfortable, it may lead to conflict.

3. Child’s Status

Need for support: The child may not be responsible for the complex situation they are facing. If the child needs support and love, the husband can play a significant role in creating a safe and loving environment for them.

Child’s emotions: Children are sensitive to the emotions around them. If the husband displays love and care, it can contribute to the child’s positive psychological and emotional development.

4. Future

Child’s future: Providing care and love for the child can create a solid foundation for their future. If the husband can positively contribute to the child’s life, it can enhance their psychological and social development.

Family model: Caring for the child can set a positive example, showing that love and care are not only based on blood ties but also on emotions and responsibilities.

5. Seeking Support

Family counseling: In such complex situations, seeking support from a family counselor can help both parties understand their emotions better and navigate the situation in the best way possible.

Addressing psychological factors: Both spouses should consider their emotions and find ways to deal with painful, jealous, or even hurt feelings.

Whether the husband should care for and love the child his wife had with his best friend is a complex and personal decision. It depends on individual emotions, current marital status, and family dynamics. While there may be challenges, loving and caring for the child can create a positive and supportive environment for the child’s development and also strengthen the marital relationship if handled sensitively and carefully.
