Whose baby is it ?

[FnG]magnolia · 15 Feb 2009 at 20:51

Has anyone done a bad Photoshop of "Whose line is anyway?" but replaced the "line" part with "baby" yet?

Anyone? No? Shame on you, GDers.

So are you seriously saying that "Yes, you would want to know, but you would not want anyone to tell you." ??? Or that you would only want someone that had something to do with it to tell you.... such as your fiance or one of the guys she's been shagging behind your back?...

If you would want to know, then surely it makes no difference how you find out? What's important is that you now know what has been going on...

Just because it doesn't directly affect you, does not mean you shouldn't take some action. And as much as she has a right to her privacy, he has a right to his dignity.

My point was pretty simple to understand, there is no need to put words in my mouth

My opinion is that the op should mind his own business and let them get on with it, if not for the reasons I have already given then at least for himself to keep a decent working relationship with the people involved and other people who may see him as an interfering busybody

"take some action" , who do you think you are, the morality police?

As good people we should stand up for what we believe is right and wrong.
Post the emails.

To be fair, comparing someones largely private family affairs with mass murder is like comparing releasing party poppers with throwing hand grenades. Not even remotely related in action and context.

Well said, Richdog.

Pretty much spot on, couldn't have said it better myself... Just think, less cheaters/affairs, less benifit frauds, no wannabe gangster kids carrying knifes, the list is endless, if only it could come reality

A question for all the "none of your business" people.

What about domestic violence? Is that nobody else's business too?

Either you think that nothing in a relationship is anyone else's business at all, or you draw a line between what is and what isn't.

In this case, I think it's well over the line. He should know, and know soon.

See Richdog's post above - there is a huge difference between someone physically attacking another person and someone being unfaithful.... in layman's terms, one is illegal and one is immoral.

i know it sounds far fetched for you but not all women want a guy who acts more of a woman than them.

they will respect you and love you more for being a man.
act like a wuss and expect to get walked all over.

Yep, the women to go for are the ones who love a bit of domestic abuse. They're the keepers!

so which do you class as worse ?
being slapped in the face or being cheated on by your pregnant partner ?

i don't understand why some people are really rather silly in this thread. "mind your own business"? anyone see how very ironic it is that they say that?

if you feel that people should mind there own business then you mind your own business and not post in this thread. it's the op's business what he chooses and telling him what to do requires you getting involved and not minding your own busines, going against the advice you are trying to give

and finally what a very stupid thing to say, "look out only for yourself", when said with mind your own business. Surely then if the op is to look out for himself he HAS to tell the guy as otherwise if he doesn't this will eat him for the rest of his life? so op look out for yourself and tell the guy so you feel better.

If I had a cheating fiance I'd damn sure want to know before it was too late.

Obviously the baby complicates things, especially if it does turn out to be his and they split because of her infidelity - but she's laid her bed and now has to lay in it.

it was a question in general....has been said a few times in the thread that ppl wouldnt walk by if someone was getting beaten up so why would anyone walk by when this happens...personally i would find it much much worse to find my parter cheating on me.

Did you actually read the OP? The guy doesn't even know these people yet for some bizarre reason feels the need to stick his big nose into their personally lives. What gives him the right to interfere in a complete stranger's business?

It isn't illegal...so don't report it to the police. But no-one has suggested doing so, so why does its current legal status have any relevance?

The harmful effects could be less bad, as bad or worse than domestic violence, so a moral difference isn't clear either.

All of which, while true, is irrelevant to the point I was making - whether or not what one person in a relationship does to another is always no-one else's business (as many people here are arguing).

You asked about the difference between someone being unfaithful and domestic violence...

What about domestic violence? Is that nobody else's business too?

My answer to that was that it's not comparable because domestic violence is illegal.

I don't think people should "mind their own business" when it comes to one person breaking the law and being violent towards another. I do, however, think they should remain quiet when said person has been immoral, because immoral != illegal and I'm not in any position to judge someone's behaviour.

Saying that - and I fully realise that this is going to sound hypocritical - I would tell the cuckold what was going on, if he were a friend of mine.

In addition to not knowing these people, the OP doesn't have any proof that any hanky-spanky has actually been going on (or if he does, he hasn't mentioned it). Apparently all he is basing his opinion on are some emails which allege that the woman has been sleeping around. Talk about being judge, juror and executioner.

Unless he has seen her getting it on with these other guys, these emails are circumstantial evidence.
