Gottaknowyouarewanted,
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Even if the man's wife had beaten him bloody every day, set him on fire, stole all his money, drew and quartered him and he managed to survive, it would still have been a sin for you to have an affair with him, to contribute to his marriage problems, and have sex with him. If she was abusive, that doesn't mean that what you did wasn't a sin. Her sin doesn't justify your sin. You need to acknowledge it as sin and repent before God.
And you don't need to marry him and here is why:
I'd like to share
Matthew 19
[SUP]8 [/SUP]He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. [SUP]9 [/SUP]And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.”
But you may have to interact with him some. This is his child, and he should be responsible, not only financially, but also to have a relationship with his child and spend time with the child. Does he accept and know for sure that the child is his? Is he suspicious given the fertility issues? Is there a chance the child is not his?
