I can’t believe there is still so much disregard for a father’s rights. Every man should know if he has a child. Whether he is a good father or wants a relationship is besides the point. It is nobody’s decision but his own. It seems there is so much focus on protecting or preventing feelings when it’s the individual responsibility to deal with their emotions and not to be handled by someone else.

Be sure that she fully understands your position. She may want to include you in experimenting sexually. Don’t assume anything until she confirms it. Go back to the basics and reintroduce each other. I hope marriage is preserved
