My sons are young right now but someday I will have to tell them I am not their biological father. We tried to get pregnant for a long time so I got tested and found out I was sterile. We discussed adoption and other avenues but my wife didn’t like any of them.
We needed a sperm donor and looked into the costs which were out of our budget. Time went on and then my wife came up to me and told me she was pregnant. For a few seconds I thought somehow the doctors were wrong but just the look on her face told me different. I had to sit down and the only thing I could say was who is the father?
She was very honest and told me she met this guy and decided it was our best chance. He had no idea what she wanted him for or that she was married. She said as soon as she found out she broke it off with him and had no intention of ever tell him. I was devastated but also knew that if we wanted a family this was what needed to happen.
The baby was born and he looked like he could be mine, she chose a man with my looks my hair my eyes and according to her my almost exact body. I didn’t ask who it was but I did wonder. A year later she came to me and said she was pregnant by the same man, she had contacted him and they had hooked up a few times but again she broke it off after she got pregnant.
This time I demanded to know who it was. She said she would take me and point him out if I promised not to talk to him or ever contact him. We drove to a place, her gym, and she pointed him out. My thought, he is much better looking than me.
I someday will have to tell my sons.
