Did you see my question? What do you plan to do about your relationship with the boy? Will you continue to see him, or will you see your children without their brother?

There is a country that is still sane, AND it has internet access?

Where are you from? I gotta check flights.

I think it all depends on whether your attachment to the child extends to the idea that he is an innocent child and regardless of who's child he is, he doesn't deserve to be punished for this. Or you think if he isn't your child, you could care less how he feels. If it is the first case, you probably should leave it a mystery.

How about that an innocent man doesn't deserve to be punished for this?

Why doesn't anyone care about that?

You could just do what millions of men have done over the ages, turn a blind eye and TAKE him as your son, regardless of biology.

However, I always had a doubt in the back of my mind about him, since we were separated for a while before we made peace. Of course I'm already attached to the little boy but I still feel like it's something I should clarify now.

What would you say?
Tests are $30 AT WALMART. Send out a swab to a lab, pay another $130 and you get your results. In my opinion, every birth certificate should include DNA match, before anyone is proclaimed a father, but of course that will never happen. Your intuition has been developed for thousands of years, and it is there for a reason. If you feel something is off, it usually is. Go for it.

I do. My question has nothing to do with punishing the OP.

A man can be a father to a kid, but DESERVES to know if he is his biological father or not. Passing ones genes is important to men, and for this reason we seek loyal and less promiscuous women. Thanks to DNA testing, we can now find the truth. Men do not burry their heads in the sand, and pretend like the truth doesn't matter. We believe in honor, loyalty and consistency of character. WE do not however, change our mind on important decisions based on whether we benefit from it or not, at any given moment. Feminists were fighting not to long ago to make DNA paternity testing illegal. What a shocker.

The female responses here are absolutely incredible.
How is she cheating and lying when they were separated and I don't recall anywhere that the original poster stated they are legally married.
So when they were separated they both are free to date whomever they choose and there is/was no guarantee they were going to work things out and get back together.
