Woman hid cheating while
cheating boyfriend was jailed
DEAR ABBY: My
boyfriend and I have been
involved for five years. He
was sentenced to prison for
3 1/2 years. Before he left,
we had a rocky relationship.
He cheated on me with
multiple women, some of
whom he continued on
with during his prison sen
tence. I was pregnant when
he went away, so I am now
raising our child alone.
Fast-forward to the
present: He and I are doing
extremely well. I see major
changes, and we believe
we can make it work when
he’s released at the end of
next year. My problem is,
I have done some things
that are eating away at me.
I had numerous relations
while he has been away,
while letting him think I’m
this perfect stay-at-home
fiancee and mother.
Although none of my af
fairs have been serious, I’m
sure if he finds out, it would
be the end of us. I’m scared
and confused about what
to do. I love him dearly and
truly want to spend eternity
with him. What should my
next step be? — IMPER
FECT, TOO, IN FLORIDA
DEAR IMPERFECT:
Your next step should be
to tell your boyfriend the
truth. While you’re at it,
tell him you didn’t reveal it
before because you weren’t
proud and didn’t want to
worry him while he was
locked up. You have no oth
er option because someone
who knows you may let it
slip, which would be worse
than hearing from you.
From your description,
your baby’s father is no
angel — and he should not
expect you to be one, either.
By the way, your telling
him will not be the “end of
you.” You are the mother of
his child, and he is legally
obligated to support that
child until he or she is no
longer a minor.
DEAR ABBY: I would
like to address this to par
ents who have abandoned
an LGBTQ child:
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
I have met your children
through my transgender
son, and I’m happy to
report they are doing fine.
They are the nicest, most
caring people I know.
Instead of being bitter and
angry about your rejec
tion, they are welcoming of
everyone they meet.
I marvel at their dedica
tion to love. They have
taught me by their example
that unconditional love
is the foundation of the
LGBTQ fellowship. It re
minds me of a man born in
Bethlehem long ago, who
taught unconditional love
of all people.
Sadly, it seems His
message has been diluted,
distorted and rewritten. If
He were around today, I
believe He would really like
your child.
So, in closing, let me
congratulate you for having
raised a wonderful, loving
child who is filled with joy
and generosity. And please
remember: It’s never too
late to learn how to love.
— PROUD DAD OF A
WONDERFUL SON
DEAR PROUD DAD:
Your letter carries a strong,
positive message. We are
all God’s children. While I
hope your letter will open
those parents’ hearts, if it
doesn’t do that, take com
fort in the knowledge that
many LGBTQ individuals
who have been rejected by
their parents have learned
to build chosen families —
with people like YOU.
