Not My Baby.

The husband came home one cold , wet night and handed his wife a newborn baby to take care of and raise as her own. That night , the wife was made aware that her husband had been cheating on her with a prostitute.
This is the main plot in one of the Catherine Cookson's movies I watched recently. It is set in the 19th century - and I can't help wondering how many present day husbands would put their wife in such a position - and how many present day wives would accept the situation without a murmur.
How would you react if your husband brought home his lover's child for you to raise? Could you love that child as your own - even though he or she is a constant reminder of hubby's infidelity?

@mydanods then you should report him to social services - he is using the child as emotional blackmail to get into the lady's life himself

@paigea I think it was very insensitive of him to bring the baby home and expect his wife to take care of it. Because of that insensitivity - he would be gone. However , in another scenario - like he cheated once with someone, no kid was involved, he asked forgiveness and promised not to do it again - then I would give him one more chance.

Eventhough I know it`s not the childs fault to be born with such bad reason 
It`ll really breaks my heart to see the child grow with me . However, I will only accept the child as my own if both of them will sign an agreement that they will go faraway from me and their child. From there I will erase both of them in my mind and the child is my dear child

The greatest of all is love! Since I'm a man, I'll reverse the situation. Then, the question would be, do I love my wife enough?
I married a woman that had 2 children and I loved them and raised them as if they were my own.

@Kandae11 Yes! I know there is a difference between before or after but either way, love is a a factor? No?

@1hopefulman I know it is a factor - the wife cared for the child as if she was her own daughter. That's a lovely family there.

I would not accept it. The only way I could accept a child that was not my own would be if we could not have children and we adopted one through the normal ways.

@Kandae11 I would not accept a cheating husband. Period. The child is not guilty of anything.

Wow, that kinda reminds of Game of Thrones when Eddard came home with a Baby.

I would divorce this man and gladly raise that precious little baby:) Infidelity isn't the tykes fault, instead, it's the adults involved.

The husband must know the wife well to know she would be kind to the child. As for him, he will get what he deserves somewhere along the line.

@Kandae11 Women and children both were property. In some places in the US clear up until the 1960"s.

What a situation. I'm really not sure what I'd do. I'd definitely have a lot of questions and if I couldn't take the child I'd find it a home. Not sure what I'd do with my husband.

Well I don't think I will have to make that decision because he will no longer be my husband

@Kandae11 Exactly, he made his choice when he slept outside the relationship, he wouldn't deserve me or the baby and the poor baby didn't ask for those parents so I would take the baby and me out of the equation, raise the baby so it had a good life and the man can move on and find another bed to sleep in. It wouldn't be mine.
