28-year-old discovers her husband of 2 years has been hiding his 4-year-old kid from her the entire time they've been together: 'I don't even see the kid much anyway'

There are a lot of things you need to disclose within the first month of dating somebody. You need to be clear about what you're looking for, whether you're still married to your ex, and if you have any kids from a previous relationship. Not everyone has the kind of baggage that needs to be disclosed on day zero, but if you're a parent, that's got to be one of the first things someone you're dating knows. You don't want to end up like the diva on Love Island who kept saying, "I'm a mommy," to no avail.

If you're in your early 20s and have a young kid that you're taking care of, that will definitely be a dealbreaker for some people. It won't be a dealbreaker for everybody, though, and as long as you're honest from the jump, there's no reason you can't find a partner who loves you and your child.

The wife in this story was blindsided by her husband's betrayal. He kept the fact that he had a 4-year-old son from her for years. This kid was at least 2 years old when they got married, and his bride didn't even know he existed.

AITAH for telling my husband I can accept his child but not his lies?
