Dear Deidre: Spotting the signs your partner is cheating
DEAR DEIDRE: WHEN my partner went into labour, nobody called me to say she was about to have the baby.I’m devastated as I believed the baby was mine and it’s making me wonder whether I’m really our other son’s dad either.We split two years after he was born, and she started seeing someone else. We then got back together, last year.But I was working away as a lorry driver when the baby came, and didn’t find out till the next day. It turns out it wasn’t in her hospital notes to call me.
I was gutted to miss the birth. And even more gutted when the congratulations cards came through the letterbox - and they were addressed to my partner and another guy. When I confronted her about this, she said some of her friends and family didn’t know she and this guy had split up and that we’d got back together.
We had a rocky relationship the first time round, and she didn’t want to tell them as they don’t approve of me.He doesn’t look anything like our other son, who is fair with blue eyes - like me.Not knowing whether this baby is yours must be very distressing. But be aware that genetics are not straightforward, and it’s common for brothers not to look alike. A baby can inherit genes from previous generations, so don’t rely on appearances.If your partner were to claim child maintenance and you disputed parentage, then you may be able to get a DNA test.If you’re not sleeping, see your GP. Ask your GP about counselling, as it’s important to talk about your feelings.Every problem gets a personal reply from one of our trained counsellors.
