that is the most naive statement i've ever read or heard. i can't think of one man i know that would be ok with building a family based on lies and deceit. if a man wants to stick around and do so under those conditions or financially support the child from afar, then that's his choice, but he shouldn't be forced to by the gov't. i actually know a couple of men who were duped by lying, cheating women. one stayed because their youngest is his, but not the oldest. the other guy left her and has been an emotional wreck ever since. its sad that we live in a country that dogs men all day for their transgressions, but are completely unable to hold womens' feet to the fire for anything.
There is a difference between "based on lies and deceit" and "excusing an indiscretion". At least, in my family, there is.
Do you mean to say that if you had a successful career and a loving wife and happy children and the ultimate in domestic tranquility, and you found out that your wife had an affair years ago, you would throw it all away? And destroy the lives of your family just out of spite?

Yes. After all, I'd still have a successful career and children. A cheating woman has no place in my bed.

That's what you think. There is no court in the world that would award you custody on that basis alone, and much of the fruits of your career would be drained off in alimony, child support, and legal fees, and your house would be sold and the assets split.
I was thinking that a paternity test at birth would solve all this *who is your daddy* nonsense family court has to deal with. It sure would save a lot of money and time. So why aren't all newborns given a paternity test???
Because not every father is suspicious of his parentage, and not every mother gives him reason to be.

how is walking away from a cheating wife and children she had OUTSIDE your marriage spiteful?? its not up to the deceived party to keep up the facade of domestic tranquility. that's something a mothers should be thinking about BEFORE her, "indiscrection" instead of shaming, "fathers" for not wanting to live a lie.

In some families (obviously not yours), domestic tranquility is not a facade. The people really love and respect each other, in spite of their faults and shortcomings and even some that are not acknowledged.
I hope you never find the vibrator hidden under your wife's underwear drawer. I can't imagine what a scene you would make.

dildos don't cause unwanted pregnancies. as for as faults and shortcomings, sleeping around and bringing home a child that's not mine is not the same as me leaving my dirty underwear on the floor. how old were you when some woman took your balls away and stashed them at the bottom of her purse??

It might solve all the "who is your daddy" nonsense in family court, but I suspect there'd be quite a few more cases IN family court---and quite a bit earlier, too!
...how old were you when some woman took your balls away and stashed them at the bottom of her purse??
Why are you assuming, that the person (you were responding to) must be a male?
