DEAR DEIDRE: When I found out my daughter-in-law was pregnant, I was over the moon – until I’ve discovered she had sex with my husband.
I’m 54, my husband is 53 and we’ve been married for 30 years. Our only daughter is 28 and she’s married to a woman of 30.
From the moment we met her, she quickly became a part of our family and I could tell how happy she made my daughter.
Both my husband and I really liked her and I never noticed that there was any attraction between them.
My daughter and her wife went through three unsuccessful rounds of IVF, and we supported them as best we could.
It was hard seeing them struggle with the news that yet another round had failed.

The first two times, they transferred the embryos into my daughter. The third time it was my daughter-in-law.
And when they announced five months ago that they were three months’ pregnant, we were thrilled.
However, the jubilation came crashing down when a text from my daughter-in-law popped up on my husband’s phone.
I couldn’t help but read through their messages. There was no mention of anything sexual, but the thread was about the baby and he kept referring to it as his.
Now I’m left hurt and confused. Not only has he betrayed me, but our daughter too.
Where do I go from here? Should I take my daughter aside?
DEIDRE SAYS: As distressing as this may be, try not to jump to any conclusions.
Your husband has been less than honest, but this may not be an affair.
If their conversations aren’t sexual and only revolve around the baby, could it be possible that your husband agreed to be their sperm donor?
While neither scenario is ideal, it would be best if you found the time to sit down and have an honest conversation with him. Explain to him what you found and tell him how hurt and confused you are.
You need to get to the truth before approaching your daughter.
Regardless of if it’s an affair or a sperm donation, your husband has gone behind your back and the only way forward is to work through it together.
