In a bizarre post on Quora - a Q&A type of site - one woman asked fellow readers for advice on how to tell her husband that he isn't the father of their two teenage daughters. The woman - who remained anonymous - proceeded to give a lengthy account of several different sexual partners she's had over the 15 years she's been married. Her affairs led her to secretly have mail-order paternity tests run that have shown her that her husband is not the father of either of their teenage daughters, aged 13 and 14.
To Tell or Not to Tell. The woman took to the internet in search of advice for her precarious situation. Her question? Should she or should she not tell her husband of 15 years that neither of their daughters - 13 and 14 years old - are his?
Repeated Affairs. The woman goes into great detail on her post, discussing affair after affair that she has had over the years. In fact, she's had so many affairs that she isn't even sure who the father of either of her daughters is. She only knows they aren't her husband's.

DNA Test. She sent off DNA testing in one of the at-home kits when her daughters were just 5 and 6 years old. She says she began to question paternity after they grew and looked nothing like her husband.

The Test Results. When the test results came back, her suspicions were confirmed. Her husband was not the father of either of their daughters. She has sat on this information for 8 years now.
8 Years Later. For 8 years, she has lived with the knowledge that her daughters did not biologically belong to her husband and yet she allowed him to go on raising them, believing he was. Now she is asking for advice from strangers on whether or not she should come clean.

Afraid of the Outcome. According to her post, she has yet to come clean, merely because she is afraid of the outcome. She states she fears he will leave her and take away the financial security her daughters now have.

It Didn't Stop There. If it had been something that had ended years ago, readers may have been a bit more understanding - maybe - but as it was, the woman admits to still frequently having extra-marital fairs on the regular. People had a field day with her post.
The Affairs. The woman states it all began in her college years when she partook in extremely risky sexual behavior with multiple partners on a regular basis. She admits she "slowed down" after getting married, but continued to name numerous affairs she's had over the years since being with her husband.

Extra-Marital Affairs. "After marriage I became a housewife and was less social. But this didn't change me. I still get to meet guys when my husband is out which included his cousin, friends, laundry man, neighbors, etc," she wrote.

No Regrets. "So in short, I did it with multiple guys, and I have no regrets. I still do it but less frequently," she continued. From the sounds of it, I'd say she has at least one giant regret if she's feeling guilty enough about her actions to ask advice from complete strangers. But what do I know?
Casual Sex. In her post, the woman states it's simply "casual sex" and just part of who she is, though her husband is unaware of her affairs. Any of them.

Not Looking to Stop. She states she's not looking to stop her behavior, but isn't sure if she should tell her husband or not. Some users actually chimed in with sincere answers, others - not so much.

Devastation. Most readers seemed genuinely concerned for the daughters more than anything. Some stating they have a right to know their true lineage, others stating the father has a right to know his wife is being repeatedly unfaithful. Clearly.
Financial Ruin. As for the woman, she states her primary concern is financial ruin. Being a housewife, she wouldn't be able to financially provide for her daughters in the same manner as they are accustomed to today. "He is a good man though, but I feel if I tell him, he will leave me, and that will affect my daughters' life financially. So what should I do?" she asked.
Hire a Lawyer. Some suggested the woman hire an attorney before telling her husband the truth. Others said they'll just wait to see the outcome on the Jerry Springer Show since surely, that's where it's destined to head.
