“I (M, 38) have been with my wife, Natalie (F, 37), for 8 years (married for 4 years). Natalie has a daughter from a previous relationship, Kaya (F, 12). Kaya\u2019s dad left when she was a newborn. We have no idea where he is.\n
I love her as if she were mine. She calls me Dad and has a great relationship with me. I told Natalie from the very beginning that I would like to have biological children, and she said she is open to having more kids. After we got married, we bought a nice place and started trying for a baby.”\n\n

He\u00a0added:\n
“After a year of unsuccessful attempts, we underwent testing which revealed that everything was normal for both of us. However, as conception has not occurred naturally, we may now explore the option of IVF to achieve pregnancy. My wife said that the treatment would be too costly and hard on her body. I was secretly devastated, but I eventually came to terms with the fact that I’ll never have any biological kids.\n
This was until a few days ago, when I found out from Natalie\u2019s sister that Natalie lied to me! She and her sister got into a fight in our house, and her sister screamed, ‘At least, I don’t take birth control pills behind my husband’s back and claim that I’m infertile. Oh, by the way, does he even know that you’ve had an abortion?’ I was floored. My wife kicked her sister out and started crying, saying she really didn\u2019t want another kid and didn’t want to lose me.”\n\n

He\u00a0went on saying:\n
“I can\u2019t believe she lied to me instead of talking to me! I just left! I have been staying at my parents’ house since then. Natalie begs me to come back, and she says we can try for a baby. Kaya even messaged me to come back!\n
My parents think I should just move on and give her another chance. She made a mistake, and she apologized. But now I can never ever trust her again and want a divorce.\n
In my defense, I do believe women have to control their bodies, and of course, I\u2019m pro-choice. But this is a different case! She lied in my face. I could now have my baby in my arms. I had no idea she is against having more babies until a few days ago. Abortion happened 1.5 year after our wedding. And yes, it was MY BABY!”\n\n
