11
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: subject d n A praternity test. Dear Stephen Shirley, I

12
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: need your advice. Nearly four years ago, I cheated on

13
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: my boyfriend once with my ex. I only cheated because

14
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 1: every man I have loved has always cheated on me

15
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: and lied to me about it, even though I was

16
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: always faithful, honest one in the relationship. So basically, I

17
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: got fed up and I had already decided that the

18
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: next man who did that to me, I was going

19
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: to cheat back. Big mistake. I found out I was

20
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: pregnant after I did my revenge cheating, and now my

21
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,240
Speaker 1: son is almost three years old. My ex is in

22
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: a military but now he is married to a white

23
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: girl and they have a newborn baby. I recently contacted

24
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: my ex and requested that we take a d N

25
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: A praternity test to find out if he is the

26
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: father of my son. He refused, but when he was

27
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: overseas for over a year, we communicated online regularly. He

28
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: never told me that he is married now and has

29
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: a new baby. I asked him about it three times

30
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: before he finally told me he lives down south and

31
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: I live in New York. What should I do? I

32
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: need to know the truth. Is my ex the father

33
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: of my son? Legally? What are my options? While you

34
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: need to go on, Mari Povich, this is so much

35
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: going on in this letter. It's really too much. Uh,

36
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 1: it's just too much. There's cheating, then there's cheating for

37
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: the wrong reason. Then there's cheating on this guy. You're

38
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: you're taking what happened to you in past relationships out

39
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: on your current relationship. Uh, you're chasing after this your

40
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,240
Speaker 1: ex who is now married and you said married to

41
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: a white girl. We don't know what that has to

42
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: do with the story. Uh, they have a newborn baby,

43
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: congratulations to them. So much going on in this letter.

44
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: And and then on top of all of this, when

45
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: you cheat, you don't even use protection, so you get pregnant.

46
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: Uh you know what, really, I don't know what to

47
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: tell you. I don't know except for, you know, try

48
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 1: to get a praternity test from this guy, and then

49
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 1: if he is the father, get child support for him

50
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: so you can take care of the baby. The baby

51
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: is three years old, however, and you've been taking care

52
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: of him somehow for the last three years. And then

53
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 1: where is your man? And this happened nearly four years ago.

54
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 1: You cheated on your boyfriend. I don't really get what's

55
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: happening here, Steve Well in this letter is you know crazy?

56
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,839
Speaker 1: Only mentioned her boyfriend wants then he opted to let him.

57
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: She mentioned that she had a boyfriend. She just said

58
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: that every man she cheated on always cheated on me,

59
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: and a lot about it. And then she said, even

60
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: though I was all always the one that was faithful, faithful,

61
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: honest in the relationship, Well not no more. That's just dark.

115
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,200

116
00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: on her boyfriend, who I'm just assuming she thought she

117
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: on her with her ex. Well, she gets pregnant. Now

118
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: her son is almost three years old, and she wants

119
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: the her ex to take a DNA test. He's in

120
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 1: the military overseas, and um he refuses because one time

121
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 1: he figured, Hey, now you ain't dragging me into no

122
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: more trick mess of yours. I'm out come to find out.

123
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: Really what's happening this. He's remarried and he's got a

124
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: new born. Well, she's mad now. Well, the thing of

125
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,559
Speaker 1: it is, ladies and gentlemen, I think that the reason

126
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: she's so hell bent on him being the father, it's

127
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: because I think her and the boyfriend that she only

128
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: mentioned that she cheated only get back at it. I

129
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 1: think Adam broke up and now she wants to put

130
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: this on somebody, because I'm curious. If you're in a

131
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: relationship with a boyfriend, you cheat on him, you get pregnant,

132
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: you think by the guy you cheated with one time,

133
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: which couldn't very easily happened. Now that your baby is three,

134
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: who does your baby think his daddy is? What lies

135
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: have you been telling the baby? And I got another

136
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 1: question for you. When you got pregnant in the first place,

137
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: what did you tell your boyfriend because he had to

138
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: think at one moment, this is my baby. So it's

139
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: a really well a really crazy well of you created him. Lady,

140
00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: what have you told your boyfriend? Does he think is

141
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 1: his baby? And now he ain't got nothing to do

142
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: with you. You broke up. Now that's why you want

143
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,079
Speaker 1: to go and see if it belongs to your ex.

144
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: Now you're really mad at him because he's remarried. Now

145
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: you just said to the white girl and they got

146
00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: a new born. You see what you're really mad about.

147
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: It was you thought maybe if you tell him you

148
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 1: had this baby, you could get him back. But now

149
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 1: he got somebody else he remarried. See, so this is

150
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,440
Speaker 1: a mess you got into yourself all because number one,

151
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: you cheated. Number two you use no protection. You cheat

152
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: it for the wrong reasons too. Wrongs don't make it right.

153
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,000
Speaker 1: And now you want to go back into this man.

154
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 1: He got a life. He going on about his business.

155
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: Uh so what And then you want to know legally

156
