Good Luck
Quote From: weddingOk ay so here it goes, i never thought i would need to write about a situtation but i think i just need some support.  
 
I met my fiance almost 2 years ago, he was getting out of a marriage with a women that he was in an abusive relationship with, she was very verbally abusive. He was also married at a young age for only a brief period under 2 years for both the marriages and they had only known each other a short period of time. Granted when i met him i took a step back when he told me this but we started out as friends. He had no childern from the marriage and we fell in love, he is the most caring man i have ever met and we get along at every level. He has done some healing and discovering over why he was in such a rush to be married. Soooo after many wonderful months and with the permission of my father he asked for my hand in marriage.... very delighted i accepted and cannot wait to marry him i know with his past it can be scary but i have no doubt in my mind that him and i are meant to be forever. 
 
Now thats the background, and now is when things have become very stressful for me, I am trying to be the strong one and help him through everything but i am feeling overwelmed. We received a call from a girl he dated very briefly at 17 years old before he moved away for college. She is a 12 year old son she suspects my fiance as being the father ...... and to top it all of his brother has kept this from the whole family for 12 years she has been commuicating this with him and he has never mentioned anything to my fiance or his parents .... CRAZY and so now we are going ahead with a paternity test to find out for sure before we make any further moves. And next his brother is angry at him for a boys/brother incident a week or so ago, mostly just jealousy and competition and now does not want to be fiance's best man .... I see my fiance hurting so bad and i just don't know how to help and yet still be excited for our life together with all of these curveballs being thrown our way..... Is someone trying to tell us something .... 
 
Thoughts, advice, encouragement .......  Get ready for lots of bumps in the road. One, why did this girl wait 12 years to tell him that he could be a father? Why now, knowing that he is fixing to get married? Why has his brother kept this from him all these years? Do you and his brother get along? Maybe the brother is trying to stir up trouble for you guys. If this other woman had a child 12 years ago and if another man had put his name on that childs birth certificate, then your fiance would not be held responsible for anything relating to this child unless he wants too, if it is his. If the child is his and he chooses to be a part of its life, get ready to deal with an ex that you know nothing about. It is not fun. Maybe this woman is looking for child support. It is just strange that she waited until she heard that you guys were getting married and now tells him this. Sounds like something is up. Be careful.
