There is a reason why many couples fail after infidelity. Even when both partners believe they can move on, there are many occasions when one individual is unable to do so in the ways that are important. This appears to be the case with one woman who is already a mother, who reveals that her husband had an affair with another woman, which resulted in a kid who she refers to as an affair baby. Scroll down to read the whole story and what do you think she should do?

My (f38) husband (m48) has a child from an affair he had a couple years ago. I forgave my husband but I can not force myself to see his son as my stepson. The custody arrangement is that my husband has him every other week , Christmas and most Christmas vacation this year, falls on the days that he has him.
I have an annual trip that me and a few of the other housewives put together for all of the families. His ex-mistress, Leah, is refusing to take him for just this week. I told her she’s being selfish and that she should want to spend Christmas with her son. She said that so should my husband . My husband agreed with me so we decided we would drop him and his presents off to my MIL.
When Leah found out she was furious she said I’m being selfish. I told her she’s the last one to be talking about being selfish and she has so much control over what my husband does with the child during the time he has custody of him. My oldest daughter (f18) told me she agrees with Leah and that there’s no reason why he’s being punished for their affair . I told her to stay in a child’s place and that if she keeps this up she’ll be joining him
EDIT I changed the ages to protect their identity. My husband is 48 (meaning he was in his 20s when we got together, not 39. Leah is 27
