I am new here....

I am new and live in Wisconsin. I have 3 daughters that are 9, 5 and 2. I have been seperated from my husband since October. I have been dating someone else now for about 7 months. I decided a month ago to reconcile with my husband and broke it off with the boyfriend. After moving back into the house 2 weeks later I had found out I was pg with my boyfriends baby. This has been complete caos because I didn't want anymore kids and I have been completely depressed. Now after trying to cope with this for the last month or so my husband has decided that he is done with this and started packing up all his tools. In a way I want out of this marriage so bad but in the same sense I want out. Now I heard that since I am pg that I might not be able to get my divorce. Does anyone know any truth to this? I would appreciate any advise anyone can give if anyone has btdt. I just wish in a way I wasn't pg. I am so sorry to say. Have a good night. Thanks for listening to me vent.

HUGS, and welcome! It sounds like you have weighed your options, and you are going to keep the baby. In terms of the laws in your state regarding getting divorced while pregnant, I would definitely contact an attorney and ask specific questions. Most will give a free consultation.


Good luck with everything. Feel free to vent any time you need to. I'm not one to pass judgement on anyone, as I'm an imperfect person, too!

grls4us...

Pianoguy agrees with cl-justice and truth. DEFINITELY contact an attorney!

Your biggest issue will probably be obtaining 'child support payments' for the already existing children that you and your soon-to-be EX have together?

I'm not a advocate of abortion, but (sadly) this is the quick and easy way many women take...especially in the awkward situation that you've described! Have you given any thought to carrying the baby full term and then...giving a couple who CAN'T have children...the opportunity to adopt your baby?

In the long run, you'd be saving a life...as well as making a pair of 'wannabe parents' VERY HAPPY!

Give this idea some thought......please???
