biological father

So my husband and I had separated for almost a year in which time I had choose to attempt seeing someone. Everything was ok for a while then I found out he was still talking to his ex let alone wanted to push to move in with me way too soon. Well before I was ready. Needless to say the relationship ended. My husband and I have known each other since we were kids and choose to attempt to work things out in which case neither of us have been as happy since the beginning of our marriage almost 10 years ago. Found out I was pregnant about a 2 weeks after we got back togeathor. I have recently found out my ex.....the babies dad.....or expected dad....is doing drugs again and not just any drugs hard drugs when he has one daughter to begin with. My husband and I have choose to raise the baby togeathor and he has informed me this baby is no less his than the other two are and has been great through everythjng. He truly is a great father and husband and an amazing support system especially when I'm sick. Do you think it would be wrong of me to exclude the ex of being a father due to he still chooses drugs over being a responsible adult with a 8 yr old daughter to begin with let alone this one and my husband and I raise the baby to give her a better chance at a good life??? Idk what to do. Btw husbands entire family as well as mine know the situation and are so supportive of everything. They tell me how excuted they are to be having another niece in the family/ grand daughter ect.

Aww! There's no question that you should go ahead with raising this baby with your husband and definitely forget about the other guy.  Will not be worth the trouble in the end to get him involved.

Thank you everyone. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the insight and yes he truly is a very amazing man. And I can honestly say I have no intentions of ever letting him go. I know just how lucky I am to have him and if it wasn't for us separating I think he wouldn't have been an even better dad and husband. We've had our issues due to him not being much of a dad to begin with but since we got back togeathor we both have changed for the better ;)

Your husband is F×€KEN AWESOME!!! Dont complicate things with the no hoper druggie. You are a very VERY lucky woman to have someone like your husband. Please tell him he is a godsend and show him this post. Not many men are willing to step up for their own let alone someone elses and this selfless act should really be commended...I take my hat off to him and give thanks that there are still decent men in the world. Hang on to him mama or someone else will snatch that great guy right up from under you. His family spunds awesome too you are very blessed to have these people.

Just move on with ur life.  Y complicate things by involving this druggie into ur urs, ur husbands and now ur unborn child's life.  It's not necessary.  If ur husbands knows the situation and doesn't care, then just play it off like u he's his kid and not that guy to were rebounding with.  U can explain to ur son when he's older the truth, but for now, just keep it simple..  ur husband is a good man and with a big heart.  If guys can get past ur separation and now this, then u know u two have always been meant for each other.
