Dear Knocked Up,
May I call you Knocked?
It seems to me you have two choices:
let your husband believe the baby is his, or tell the truth.
If you decide not to say anything and
let assumptions continue, you can look forward to a future
of grief, guilt, and always wondering about the truth.
However, if you tell your husband about
your doubts, you can look forward to a future of grief,
guilt, and always wondering if you could’ve gotten
away with not saying anything.
I’m not usually one to prescribe
lies as the best medicine, but there are times when it’s
best not to say anything at all. It’s a form of lying,
but not really since if you’re not saying anything
you’re not technically telling a lie.
So don’t say anything. If, after
a time, you find that guilt or curiosity is getting the
better of you, you can always choose to come forward with
the truth later.
Besides, isn’t what’s growing
inside you what’s really important now? You and your
husband will have a child to raise together, even if you
didn’t actually make it together.
Congratulations, Knocked.
