Soon to be father of 2. Wife is sleeping with a close friend of mine.<br><br>My wife is 22 and I'm 22. We have a 2-year-old daughter and our second daughter is due at the end of the month. I met my wife in high school before senior year and we started going out. I found out she was pregnant when I was 19 and she was 18 and I "man'd up" and got a job and started making plans for us and the baby. Before the baby was born, we moved in with her folks. I'm from a very religious family and my parents don't believe in abortion and I do at this time. <br><br>Fast forward 2 years, my friend from high school "Mike" starts coming over a lot and helping out. He'd pick up groceries and help take care of my daughter and just do a lot. I'd at times ask if he had a crush on my wife and he always denied it. He met a girl and stopped coming around as much and my wife would complain but at this time she was also very pregnant. <br><br>We moved into our own house 2 months ago and things just seemed great. I found a very well paying job and I was able to spoil my girls a bit more. My wife's friend "Sarah" moved in with us. They'd drink together at night a lot and just talk and have their girls nights. Last week, I had to work a 12-hour shift and I come home early and Sarah is passed out in her room. I go into the kitchen to make something to eat real fast before heading back to work and my wife and Mike are having sex on the counter. I'm never going to forget the sound she was making. <br><br>I left immediately and went back to work. I didn't tell anyone what I saw and just went about my day and didn't come home until the next night. When I got home, Sarah was gone but all of my wife's stuff was gone too. She sent me a text saying she's been unhappy in the relationship for a long time and a lot of other things. A few days later, she agreed to let me see our daughter and she came over. We talked and she said she's been sleeping with him for a year now and wanted a divorce. I was heartbroken. <br><br>It's been 2 weeks and I just feel so betrayed. What can I do? I'm having a hard time taking care of my daughter on my own with the way my schedule is but I make way more than my wife does. What should I do? What can I do to make sure I get custody? I'm going to be taking her to court over this.<br><br>Edit 2: I just want to clarify a few things since a lot of people are confused and asking me the same questions over and over. <br><br>1.) Yes, the baby on the way is mine. I've had multiple people ask about paternity and I just want to say, my wife didn't start having an affair until long after I had a paternity test. We had our DNA tested once we found out she was pregnant. I just wanted to put that out there because at the end of the day, a child is a child no matter what and I'm not going to love it any less. <br><br>I'm planning on getting a paternity test for my daughter once she turns 2 but I'm not getting it sooner because I don'T want to drumpt any negativity on her until she has to know. I've already started saving for it and I'll probably get it done by her 2nd birthday. <br><br>2.) I'm not kicking Sarah out because I don't see it as being her fault. Had it been her, I'd be kicking her out. I think it's my wife's fault let's just put it that way. As of yesterday, she was talking about staying with me still and I told her it's up to her but at this time, it's not the greatest place to be. <br><br>3.) The only thing stopping me from skipping out on child support payments is the fact that my daughter is still young and needs it. I know this is wrong and I won't be doing this but just wanted to share part of my thought process. I'm just angry and hurt. <br><br>4.) I'm not going to be checking any of my comments from this point on until I get my headspace right. Quite frankly, I need to just double down and focus on raising my daughter.<br><br>Please share this post and spread awareness. Thank you. <br><br>Edit: <br><br>For those asking, I'm going to seek sole custody. I will not be seeking visitation to be blocked but she will not have primary custody. I'm going to work on getting a new job with a more regular schedule as well.
