Dear Dorothy,
I am pregnant and my boyfriend keeps asking me if the child is his.
Truth be told Dorothy since we began dating over two years ago, I have never looked at another man let alone cheated on him. I know he has roving eyes and may have been with other women in the time we have been together. I have not caught him cheating on me, just suspicious.
My reason tells me that as the “one who is cheating on me” he may feel that women cheat in relationships.
I have assured him that the child is his but he keeps asking me.
What do you think I should do?
My Dear,
Your boyfriend is probably cheating on you. The next time he asks you this, ask him what is he getting at. Tell him that you do not need all this unnecessary harassments and emotional blackmail in your current state.
I think that the issue of paternity can be settled with a DNA test.
However, I do not hold out much future for the relationship since it looks like trust is lacking. Couples need to trust one another in a relationship for it to have a chance of working out.
I will advise that you start to think hard about how to put an end to the relationship and how you will take care of yourself and the baby when you give birth.
Good luck.
