AITAH for calling off my wedding after discovering my fiancé has a secret child. r/aitah_for_calling_off_my_wedding_after/

OP has been with her fiancé, “Heseinberg” (a Breaking Bad fan), for five years, and 2024 was spent planning their wedding. Everything seemed perfect until the New Year, when OP stumbled upon old letters while helping him clean his office. The letters were from a woman claiming he was the father of her 7-year-old son. Shocked and confused, OP confronted him, and he admitted the truth he had a brief relationship with the woman before meeting OP and knew about the child for years. However, he chose not to tell her, claiming he wanted to avoid “complicating” their relationship.

He further explained that while he occasionally provides financial support, he has no active involvement in his son’s life. This revelation devastated OP, not just because he had hidden such a significant part of his life, but also because his lack of involvement in his child’s life made her question his character. The secrecy and irresponsibility left her wondering what else he might be hiding.

Despite deeply loving him, OP decided to call off the wedding. She feels betrayed and finds it difficult to imagine building a life with someone who withheld such a major truth. Her fiancé has since begged her to reconsider, promising to be open about everything and involve his son in their lives. However, OP cannot shake the feeling that their trust is irreparably broken.

Hiding a child for years is not a small oversight; it’s a massive betrayal of trust. If he can keep something this significant from you, what else might he hide? You deserve someone who is open and honest with you.

His lack of involvement in his child’s life is a huge red flag. If he can turn his back on his own son, what kind of father will he be if you have children together? This speaks volumes about his character
