DEIDRE SAYS: YOU need to tell Jack the whole truth now – he deserves that.

You won’t be able to control how he reacts, or indeed whether he decides to stay with you.

But it might help if you show him how sorry you are, and that you are taking this betrayal seriously.

Ask him to go to relationship counselling with you, because whether you decide to stay together, part, keep the baby, or not, it will help you both to have someone impartial to guide you.
