Has anyone had OW fake a pregnancy?
LOTS of people, most of them do not stay on this board. This board is for those personally dealing with the situation.
My best friend's H had an affair around the same time as my H. His OW faked a pregnancy, an elaborate miscarriage (at 12 weeks), a fake cremation/funeral. They ended out finding out (from the OW's BH) that it was ALL LIES. She had never been pregnant, never been in the hospital for a miscarriage, and never cremated a 12 week old baby.
Now, on the bright side, this week was our 12 year anniversary (of being together, not being married), and on that day we checked the mail and the lawyer had mailed the petition for the courts! We got a copy, and OW got a copy. OW and her H will sign it in front of a notary, and send it to the lawyer, the lawyer will file it with the courts, and in about 3 months (if all goes according to plan) OC will no longer be my H's child legally!
It was so wonderful to read the words in the paperwork about OC being legally OW's husband's child. It was a little bit of a trigger to read "[OC] born to [OW] and [my FWH], an unmarried couple..." I wanted to be like "they were never a fucking 'couple'!!!" but I just reminded myself it is standard language.
I hope nothing gets delayed or messed up because of it, but I had to chuckle to myself about how much OW has lied to the attorney. She lied about who she lives with (they live with OW's parents, she said they lived on their own), lied about how long they've been together, lied about all of the places OC has lived in her 5 years of life, etc. Nothing major that should cause any hiccups in the legal process (except living with the parents, who would need additional criminal background checks), but I never realized how much of a liar OW is! I don't know her well, and have heard about some lies she has told my stepDs and others (all stories about me, and the manner in which FWH left her, but minor things that just make her look like the perpetual victim she tries to portray herself as), but MAN, I don't know if she could tell the truth if she tried!
FWH was rather disgusted as well, and I hope it really drove home the extent to which he "affaired down". One thing that I very much pride myself on is my honesty, and I am known for it (as in "You can trust Want2help, she never lies." or "Tell that to Want2help and ask her opinion, she'll tell you the truth whether you want to hear it or not.") I have also never, ever been one to play the victim.
Anyhow, the attorney needs to draw up a consent form (termination of parental rights) for FWH to sign in front of a notary, and that can be filed, and the petition to be filed, then just a waiting game. I am hoping, HOPING it can be done before the new year, so we can start 2014 off with this done and over with.
We have been dealing with his A and the repercussions (OW and OC) since 2007. It will be phenomenal to close this chapter of our lives.
