Dear Diana,
I am 28 and have been married 11 months now. For the first six months of our marriage, we tried to have a baby, but did not succeed. During the last month of that six-month period, I fell in love with another man and lived in with him for four months, without getting a divorce. I was three months pregnant when I broke up with my live-in boyfriend due to some differences. I had realised that I want to live with my hubby. He, too,


accepted me back in his life despite the pregnancy, as I wanted to keep the baby. And this, because of our failure in conceiving because of his low sperm count. But now, I am confused about giving the baby a father's name. Shall I give it my hubby's name though my boyfriend has the right to claim it as his own? If I give it my boyfriend's name then that may look awkward as the baby was born while I am still married to my hubby. If I keep the father's name blank, questions will be raised, considering I am still a married woman.

Dear Rajesh,
You refused to take charge. All the time, it was she who intitiated the action. Do you think it makes any sense for her to stay on, knowing full well that you were happier letting her be in charge. Being bold only takes you so far. It's like taking a camel to the water, bu t not being able to make him take a sip. You should have seen this coming. There's nothing left to talk about. She invested all she could in this relationship and found it wasn't a reliable investment. Just up and move on, don't dwell on the whys and wherefores of the failure that was. It will get you nowhere.
