Tell him! He deserves to know he has a child, and your daughter deserves to know where she came from.
I’m sorry but your bf doesn’t get a say! he isn’t her father as much as he would like to be.
Your ex has every right to know that he has a daughter and your daughter has a right to know her father.
the fact that your bf is pushing you to do such a horrible thing is a major red flag

He deserves to know… Your child deserves to know who their bio father is. And needs to know for medical reasons ect. You need to put your child first on this… He can still be daddy but hes not the father…
You need to do the right thing and tell him! You need to just make the text to meet up with him and tell this week or you’ll never do it
Ugh. 🤦 He doesn’t get to keep a child from her real father.
You shouldn’t try to hide it. I’ve seen dozens of posts of kids whose moms did this, and their “dad” isn’t theirs. Even if they love the man who raised them, it always leads to some very confusing and unnecessary emotions. Children deserve to know their parentage. If ex doesn’t want to be involved, that’s his choice and you can tell her when she is capable of handling it, but she may resent you later if you never tell him and she loses the chance to know him because of you.

If for some reason your daughter has any health problems it is best to tell him. Like if he has to give her a kidney or something like that.

Is there a reason why you don’t want him to know? Like safety reasons or lifestyle reasons? If it’s just cause the bf doesn’t want him to know then no. That’s just ego.

And what do you do if he leaves you? If it wasn’t abusive, why keep the potentially stable father away? If anything happens to you, god forbid, but there’s no guarantee your bf will be there…
I have 2 sons (and a daughter but she’s still a baby). My oldest son was raised by middle child’s dad as his own since 6 months old. However, my son was always told he had a daddy before his dad and if he wanted to meet him I would help. Slightly different situation but the point is the same, the child and bio dad need to know and gave a choice. It’s not your or your bfs choice to nake

It will come out before u die so just tell them.
For the sake of the child the father needed to know. A number of medical conditions are passed from gen to gen. Hopefully this will never be an issue but if it was the Doctors would be barking up the wrong tree. Talk to the father, find out what he wants, does he want to give up his parental rights if so then your boyfriend could potentially adopt

One of my classmates just found out his dad isn’t who he thought he was… Guy’s 31. If your child’s biological father isn’t a POS, he deserves to know and have the opportunity to parent his child. Imagine how your child will feel finding this out one day.

Your gut feeling is what you need to follow through with. I understand where he’s coming from, but not giving her biological father a chance to even be there is unfair to her and him both. You need to be able to communicate with him about medical things for her sake because you never know when an issue can arrive and the medical history from her dads side could save her life just by knowing it. She can still love your boyfriend just as much as she would love her biological daddy. She will know nothing but love and that’s all that matters. If he turns out to be useless then you did your part, you can be at peace knowing you gave opportunities and he chose to not take them. She will still have a father figure that’s going to love her endlessly regardless.

tell the dad, it is his child aswell, not just your possession that you don’t want to share, if the other guy doesn’t want the real dad to know then it’s because he needs the title of dad to care for the child rather than just caring for the child, I hate when women act like men are below par to them as parents just because they didn’t give birth to them because they physically can’t, you should tell him and let him decide for himself and I personally wouldn’t lie to my child every day, it’ll come out one day and she’ll never trust or respect you

Is the ex abusive, alcoholic or drug addict? If yes, maybe keep the info to yourself for now… if not, things could get messy eventually… what is your current bf reasoning for not wanting your ex to know?

grow up , use your head and do the right thing and tell the man. Unless he’s abusive or evil in some way
By not telling him is so unfair. He may not even want any part of wanting to be a dad but that is his choice. Also need to look at the future what happens if your ex has a child and later on your daughter and his hook up? Also your daughter has a right to know where her genes come from.

Tell your ex. If he doesn’t step up, that’s one thing and you can deal with it. But that needs to be his decision. Not yours and not your current boyfriend. That baby deserves a chance to have a relationship with her biological dad. Never ever stand in the way of that. In 20 years, if she asks you, why didn’t you tell me? How pathetic of an excuse is it gonna be when you say, “My boyfriend at the time didn’t want me to tell him.” You dont know what the future holds, but honesty is ALWAYS the best policy. He deserves to know, and you should want that off your chest so that later on down the road, your child doesnt find out and resent you for it.

Every situation is different, and only you know yours 100%.
If you and/or your boyfriend don’t want the child’s father to know because he’s dangerous, toxic, unhealthy role model, etc… then that’s a decision you have to make. With the support of your boyfriend, one way or the other.
Co parenting with an ex can get messy and stressful, but that’s no reason to cut that relationship off before it even had a chance, without just cause.

I think it’s only fair that you tell your ex only because that is her real dad… whether you two worked out or not, it’s not a determining factor or whether or not he should be in her life. And plus the guy you’re with now is just a boyfriend, you’re not even married, so who knows if it will work out or not. It’s going to be hard and cause a lot of drama but it’s the right thing to do. Your boyfriend now can still be a father figure to her if he wants but the ex also deserves a chance.

When I told him he came over the same night and was a great dad too her from then out. It’s not just her dad she missed out on. She had really active grandparents that loved her dearly aunt’s uncles cousins that missed the first 7 years of my daughter’s life.

I can add a future perspective that may be helpful. My husband found out a couple of years ago, at the age of 45 that his Dad is not his biological father and it has been quite the blow! His biological father had no idea he existed and missed out on his whole life. Please be honest with your ex boyfriend and your child as she grows up. Your current boyfriend can still have a fatherly role without being her biological father. If he is there for her during her life, DNA doesn’t discount that.

There are certainly some nasty comments on here and I’m sorry for those responses when you’re asking for help in this situation. It is certainly difficult and none of us know the history or what kind of person the ex and current boyfriend are so only you can truly make this judgment call. You are the mom and have the right to make this decision in the best interest of the child whichever way you choose. I can’t tell you what is right for your family, I can only tell you what I would do with the limited information and I would honestly tell my ex. I wouldn’t want to risk it coming out another way and hurting my child. Either way, this is your life and your child’s life and only you can decide what’s best. Prayers for wisdom and calm nerves during this situation.
