Lorry driver seeks advice after mistress becomes pregnant

A reader of Laura Collins’ sex column has sought advice regarding a complex personal situation involving infidelity and an unplanned pregnancy. The individual, a lorry driver in his early thirties, reports being married with a young son while maintaining an affair with a woman he met through his work.

The reader states that his wife previously discovered evidence of the affair and ended the marriage temporarily, but has since taken him back. The current crisis involves the mistress becoming pregnant and expressing a desire to continue the pregnancy, a situation the reader says has left him feeling overwhelmed and considering ‘ghosting’ the woman to avoid his problems.
