The basis of marriage isn't trust and mutual understanding; it's love and union. They're not the same thing. The two partners must want what's best for each other, and they must also be able to forgive each other. There are technically other rules, but I won't bore you things like the "openness to life" clause. To destroy oneself for the sake of another is good, but to destroy another for the sake of oneself or another is evil. Out of the possibilities, the child is clearly benefited more by OP staying. It may not be his responsibility, but it's the right thing to do either way. To leave the child is to cause it's "destruction" in some ways. However, even if staying causes his destruction, it would still be the right decision for OP to make, for the child's sake.
I'm a firm believer in the old saying, "don't mistake my kindness for weakness". I don't think it's unkind to leave a cheating woman if she gives birth to another man's child. I think the woman needs to go after the biological father for help with the child.
I think anyone who has sex outside of marriage without a condom is bat shit crazy!
If it's not his child it's not his responsibility.
IT’S NOT CHEATING IF…

I don't think OP should dedicate his life to a child who isn't his.

So he should stay with a cheating woman, and raise some other guy's kid, because, it would be the kind thing to do"? What about OP, what his life?
