It's a fairly direct question, I just wanted to get a feel for how people here stood on this.
For the men:
If your girlfriend/wife cheated on you, and became pregnant with another man's child (and then told you about it), would you stay with her to help raise the child, or say "to hell with this, you cheating whore"? Would you provide support to another man's progeny, even knowing that it was the seed of your significant other's infidelity, or would you just leave?
Does the gender of the baby influence you?
Does the ability of the father to help raise the child influence you?
For the women:
If your boyfriend/husband cheated on you, and impregnated another woman (who gave birth to a child, and subsequently passed away), would you help raise the child, or would you say "screw you, you cheating bastard" and leave?
Does the gender of the baby influence you?
Does the ability of your prospective ex to raise the child on his own influence you?
I'm male, and for me, I'd be very inclined to say "screw this, I'm gone". A female baby would more persuade me to stay, but even then, I'd be disgusted enough that I would want nothing to do with either of them.
What about all of you?
