Not Sure How To Feel...

My BF and I have been dating off and on for almost 3 years and during one of our "off" times he had a one night stand and got a girl pregnant. Then he tells me he might be the father of another child from another one night stand that happened 7 years ago, but hes not sure because paternity has not been established yet.
The first one night stand I was willing to overlook just because I know people make mistakes and even when the BM wasn't sure it was his he stepped up, but now he might have another kid with another BM?! I can't help but be angry not just for him being careless, but because I want to have a family of my own and I don't want his family to label me as " another girl he knocked up".
Is it right to be angry at him? Or am being dramatic?

Voice of experience here. DH

Voice of experience here. DH had 2 children from ONSs with the same woman ten years apart.

I can't say that I have ever been able to put it behind me. Second one was over 20 years ago. It is in my mind every time I look at SS24. They could not keep their fucking hands (and other body parts) off each other and were not even responsible enough to use birth control. Less than a year ago he "stopped by" to see her when I was having surgery - in my car. My anger will never subside.

Maybe you are a better person and more forgiving than I am.

I all but keep DH under lock and key - not a good way to live. You can do better in my opinion.

I do have some anger towards

I do have some anger towards him...the only thing I can say is that he can't stand either BM. Both said they were on birth control and took the "Plan B" pill because he made it clear he didn't want kids at the time.

We stopped talking completely

We stopped talking completely for almost 2 months and when we started talking again he told me the situation at the beginning.

I do not have any direct

I do not have any direct experience to fall back on as far as this topic is concerned. However I do have some anecdotal experience of others to fall back on. My kid's(SS-19) SpermIdiot has 4 oowl spawn by 3 different baby mamas. My SS is his oldest. He has ruined not only his own life but has severly damaged the lives of his 4 spawn by his idiocy.

As a guy with a fairly active sexual past and who has ZERO spawn (that I am aware of) I can give you my opinion on this situation.

Go, and go now. Do not look back. If my DW had not learned from being a single teen mom with her first (and only) child and had spawned with a second random donor I would not have done anything more than date her. Instead she learned from her experience and became an amazing woman of character ... rather than a serial breeder of oowl children with random guys.

If I were you I would not want to have a family with your BF and as you said be just "another girl he knocked up". Even if he decided he wanted to marry you.

Some mistakes are forgivable, some should not be. This is one of those IMHO. My wife had a friend while we were dating in college who wanted to be far more than freinds with her. He had 5kids by 5 different girls. My wife was smart enough and had enough personal character to keep that guy firmly in the friend zone and now now 20years in her past.

You should do the same with your BF IMHO. If I were you I would not marry a guy or have children either withing a marriage or oowl who has succeeded in screwing up his own life to this extent.

IMHO of course.

Why are you concerned with

Why are you concerned with what other people think? If his family don't like you you could be a virginal princess and they would still find a reason to hate you. That is something you cannot control.

That being said, your BF has had unprotected s.. with at least 2 women who have produced at least 1 if not 2 children. This is just stupid and careless. The man is iiresponsible and needs to take care of his existing children before having any more. Both of these women could and may well be claiming Child Support from him for the next 15 yrs which reduces your household income for a long time.

But then pregnancy isn't the ONLY thing that can happen and I hope you had a range of tests to rule out other 'outcomes'.

As for them telling him they were on Birth Control and BOTH of them took the Plan B pill and woops! STILL pregnant... how stupid is he? The responsibility lies with the person who does not want to parent a child. He didn't want kids so it was HIS responsibility to stop that from happening.

This is your call. But I can understand your anger that he lied by omission and how many other children will pop up in the future?

DH and I are both in our 50s (me only JUST!) and we did discuss what we would do if some 30something person arrived on our doorstep claimed DH as his/her father. DNA test would be the first thing before any acceptance of paternity. But then we are talking 30+ years ago... not in the last 7 years.
