We have been together for two and a half years. Our son is 15 months old and it has come to light that I am not the father. I'm 23 years old. My issue lies if we can't work it out she takes my son and leaves the state, however how can I be with someone who has known since conception?

We were separated during conception so its not an infidelity issue, but since we we're separated and a month later found out she was pregnant I naturally asked and continued to ask for the 9 months always the same response of denial being with anyone else. That was a lie. Some suggestions have been pressing the reset button and sending them packing, other advice has been to work through the pain for the sake of the child because a child needs two.

I'm at a loss because I am young, and I love the child, however I don't want to hurt him. He's young enough where now is the time to make the big decision of staying or going to minimize the effect on him
