Dear CG,

I know you are the last person I should be asking for advice given your track record of messed up relationships, and totally screwed decision-making skill.  But since I’ve asked all the normal people around, and they really couldn’t give me the answer I need, I decided to ask for your opinion as well.  So, here’s the sitch: I’m a married woman with a 5-year old special child.  My husband works for a big pharmaceutical company, and has no difficulty providing for our needs.  A few months ago, I discovered my husband cheating on me after I read his cell phone.  My husband denied having any other knowledge of the girl other than as text mate.  I let it go then.  Unfortunately, I just recently found out that said girl is now pregnant with my husband’s child.  My parents suggested, quite violently I might add, that I leave that two-timing wretch of a man and even offered to provide financial support to my child.  I’m not sure if I still want my husband, and I don’t know what to do.  Can you help me?

Love, Bewildered.

Dear Bewildered,

I am a bit surprised that anyone would actually come to me for advice, let alone something as huge as this.  But since you asked for it, then here you go. 

Honestly, I say leave the husband.  I know some people would tell you to fight for it, especially given that you have a child and all.  Plus being the wife gives you more right than that mistress.  Also, some people think that they’d rather not let the mistress win by having the guy for themselves.  But seriously, can you honestly be with someone, fight for someone, who has been unfaithful to you?  Why would you still want to associate yourself with a cheat?  For the child’s sake?  Would the child be happier growing up with a father who doesn’t even know what fidelity and keeping his promises mean?

I say drop the spawn of satan, and live happy.

If you want to make him suffer some more, how about letting him foot your bill while you make yourself gorgeous by getting yourself a boob job, a liposuction work, or some specialized plastic surgery in La Jolla spa md.

Love, CigaretteGirl
