Small start-ups prefer free zones outside Dubai

Such businesses want to be in locations that suit their needs and Dubai is not necessarily the best emirate for them," Menon said.

Certain companies are only here because of taxes in their home country, he said, adding that such entities' needs are provided for by free zones outside of Dubai.

As more companies move to other emirates, Dubai's economy will not be impacted, he said.

"This is a deliberate move on Dubai's part. The government wants to target only larger businesses, which is why they stopped offering virtual offices that small and medium enterprises are attracted to," Menon said.

Comparing the free zones in different emirates, Menon said: "The immigration procedures are efficient in Dubai and Sharjah. However, in Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah, the process is long."

He said that setting up in all free zones is easy but there are issues involved in continuity of a business in free zones other than those in Dubai and Sharjah. more

Toronto stocks retreat as financials sag

TORONTO (Reuters) - The Toronto Stock Exchange's main index ended lower on Monday after a late-day retreat as nagging concerns about more fallout from the credit crunch pulled down Bank of Nova Scotia and other financials. The drop may have proven deeper if not for energy and gold shares, which rose as prices for their underlying commodities climbed, in part because of a weaker U.S. dollar. In the oil patch, Canadian Natural Resources rose 1.3 percent, while among the miners, Goldcorp added 2.4 percent. more

Eight core business interests

Your �core business interests,� meaning the activities that you most enjoy doing, can be eight, says a �pocket mentor� publication from Harvard Business Press, titled �Shaping Your Career� (www.tatamcgrawhill.com). Grouped into three categories � viz. application of expertise, working with people, and control and influence � and identified as a result of extensive research, these interests are those that remain relatively stable over your lifetime, the authors aver. The first category has application of technology (feeling comfortable with mathematics, computer programming, and physical models of reality); quantitative analysis (problem solving based on mathematical and financial analysis); theory development and conceptual thinking (engaging in abstract ideas, imagination, theory, plans, scenarios, and forecasts); and creative production (where something new comes into being). more

Resolved Question: My brother is developing an evil personality? Help?

I KNOW IT'S LONG, but please, my brother is turning into a freak. He's developing an evil personality. He is manipulative, mean, over-controlling, and never shows that he cares for any of my family members, or anyone for that matter. He can also be violent sometimes. He also cares about money a little too much and always has a business-like attitude. Sometimes when I just sit next to him to be annoying, he'll punch or kick me. I tell him that what he's doing isn't normal or right. That he should show more respect and love for his older sister, but he ignores me. When I tell him, "What happens if I die one day? Then you'll miss me and realize how much you love me!", he says, "I'll laugh and be happy because we won't have to waste anymore money on you and you won't talk to me anymore. My parents have never done anything to punish him. Even when it is obvious that he's starting the fight, my parents always blame me. Example: He'll call me something bad, I'll just sit down next to him or stare at him and he'll kick me. I sit closer to him to try to tell him to stop, then my dad gets SO MAD at me. Even when my dad sees him hit me, he'll either say nothing at all or tell him not to do that calmly. I get so mad that I often tell him that if he keeps this up, he might grow up to be like Hitler or abuse his children or wife, and he just accepts it and be all like YEA, MAYBE I WILL! -smiles- Either that, or he'll say that I'm exaggerating. He doesn't like kids and is so disrespectful to my mom. He often makes fun of her accent and continues to do things that she tells him not to do (like mocking her country, accent, racism, etc). He plays violent video games and such. He is 13, but I think he's been this way for a long time. I think what I say to him sometimes isn't right, but when I do try to be positive and say that we respect him more when he treats us kindly or name out all of the few good points he has, he ignores this and continues to act like a jerk. He won't even listen to me. This makes me cry so much because I love him a lot. I tell him that I love him but he ignores this and keeps saying that he wants me to die one day. I tell him how much this hurts me, but he ignores this. He even hurt my finger and didn't apologize. I had to bug him for 15 minutes till he told he was sorry. He didn't even mean it or look at me when he did. He just keeps on playing his violent video games. I really want him to grow up to be a good person and tell him all the time how much we all love him and want the best for him, but he doesn't even care! He won't even get my mom anything special for Mother's Day tomorrow. Please, HELP. One thing that my mom has ALWAYS done wrong is physically threaten him or tell him he acts like a criminal. She really loves him, just doesn't know how to show it. She also lets him boss her around. She'll sometimes chase him around and then hit him in the head or shoulder, then he'll hit her back and run away. Sometimes, she'll point a knife at him or a lighter. I tell him and my mom that this isn't right, but she doesn't know how else to act. He is also slightly arrogant and really self-centered. He doesn't consider other peoples' feelings. He also tells me that he hates me, doesn't care about me, and sometimes forgets I exist, though I tell him I love him almost everytime I see him. He gets really mad from even me touching him on the arm. I love him, but I think he's becoming a truly bad person. What can I do to help him? I'm only 15. more

Resolved Question: What cities in North Carolina would you recommend for me to move to?

I've lived in Fayetteville for 18 years (I'm 23 now) and my bf and I plan on moving to another city in North Carolina before our 1 year old daughter starts kindergarten. We've both grown tired and fed up with Fayetteville, not necessarily because of the city itself, but mostly because it's gotten too populated for our liking (over 200,000 people) and we've just grown bored with it and want to move on to a new place. We do like that Fayetteville is historic, we like downtown, and it is beginning to develop more things like festival park, more shopping, places to eat, etc. but it won't be enough to keep us living here the rest of our lives. It would be nice to find a city that is similar to Fayetteville but not so populated and maybe has less crappy spots. We like parks, fun city events, lots of things to do and places to eat. We don't really need to live in a place that is business-centered. We still want to live close enough to Fayetteville so that we can visit a few times a month to see our friends and family and to attend the festivals Fayetteville has (Dogwood Festival, Folk Festival). I'm not too big on cold, so I probably wouldn't like to live in or too close to the mountains. I love the beach but we don't necessarily need to live at one. A place that is not too populated, but not too empty... a good mix between urban and rural (suburban?) ... has lots to offer day and night, all year round ... has a good community with nice people ... is the kind of city we'd like to live in in NC. So ... if you have a good idea of what would be the best options for us, please let me know! * So far, I've been interested in Carrboro/Chapel Hill. I like the kind of town Carrboro is and what it seems to offer (especially the Farmer's Market), and that it's so close to Chapel Hill that we could commute there too and take advantage of what it has to offer too. What advice do you have on these cities? Thank you. more

Resolved Question: Romantic Bee En Gee anyone?

Don't report or I'll cry :( I'm actually interested to see the amount of years people would wait to have kids etc. thanks. 1. You just got married to the man of your dreams, what is his name and how long do you wait to have kids? Your husband gives you a necklace with your favorite jewel when you tell him the news, and you find out you are having a girl! Her middle name is the jewel your husband gave you, first name is long, elegant, and feminine. 2. You love being a mother and decide to have more kids. You are financially stable so how long do you wait to have more? You find out you are having a girl and your husband really wants to honor you somehow, but you don't want to use your exact name. You choose a girls name that was popular in the year you were born (besides yours if its popular). The middle name is a family name. 3. Two years later your girls ages are: You know they definitely want a brother and your husband really wants a son. You pursue this and get your wish plus 1! Twin boys! You have an excrutiating pregnancy and nearly die giving birth. Your husband seriously helped you get through it. First names are both after romantic male characters in books, movies, or tv, middle same both start with the same initial as your husband. 4. Four kids is a handful but you are making it work. You want maybe just one more, how long do you wait? Well you are trying to concieve but no luck. You decide you've always wanted to adopt and go visit a foster home. There is a sibling pair, the sister is 5 and the brother is 2. They are lovely kids and would make a great addition. Their first names are Isla and Tucker but they have no middle names. What do you name them? 5. Right when you adopt Tucker and Isla you find you are pregnant one last time! It is going to be a boy. You combine you and your husbands name to make a cool first name, middle name is after a hero in history ( a real one like...George Washignton etc.) 6. Optional: Your oldest girl (her name) _______ opened a jewelry store in a European country, which one? She is married with one girl also named after a jewel what is her name? Your second girl ________ loves kids and runs a child daycare center and has triplets of her own. Two boys one girl, what are their names? She is living in a rural/country area where is it? 3. Your twin boys ________ and ________ are extremely close and moved to the same area, where did they move? They both opened their own business selling/specializing in __________. One has a son named ________ the other is still single no kids. 4. Your adopted girl ________ became a social worker and has two adopted kids of her own. What are the genders and names? 5. Your adopted boy ________ became a zoologist and his animals are his first loves. He has three exotic pets what are they? 6. Your last son became a history teacher at _______ ( what type of school, elementary, jr. high, etc). He is living in ________ and is married with one girl and a boy with historical names. What are they called? Really hope you had fun add pics if you want but not necessary :)For #2 it can be the decade you were born like the 80's, doesnt have to be the exact year. more

Voting Question: How to start up a Martial Arts School?

Last year I taught martial arts to my friends and family twice a week at the fitness centre for free - just to keep me in good shape since I moved four hours away from my old martial arts school. I've decided I'd like to try to start real classes. In my experience, people don't take it seriously if it's free, and I'd also like to get a lot more people. How do I go about starting up that business? It will mostly be for fun, so I won't be trying to profit greatly from it, but I'm sure there are still tax and insurance issues. Who can tell me all I need to know about this? Thanks more

Resolved Question: Am I wrong? Had a huge arguement with my sister in law...........?

I had a huge argument with my sister in law Saturday night. In 6 1/2 years we've never had one. She is extremely bossy adn a real diva. She recntly separated from her husband and moved back in with my mother and father in law. my husband and i have been going over there everyday to help her with the baby. we bring gifts when we can , we watch him so she can rest, and we help her set up online profiles on job sites, and help her list things on ebay so she can get some quick cash until they start going to court. i have given her outfits, and anything she needs bc she is going thru a hard time. she never says please or thank you, she starts every sentence with i need, i want, you should, etc. never may i, will you, can you, or thanks. the other day she texts me and my husband "your nephew wants to spend some time with you" mind you, he's 16 months, he doesnt know he wants to spend time with us until he sees us! lol! she cant fix her mouth to say " i need to run some errands and i need a break, will you come get the baby for awhile"? i dont mind, but this is how she is. i work thirs shift so i told her when i wake up around 1pm i will call her. i wake up at 2pm to 5 text messages saying i am rediculous and noone needs that much sleep! i work third shift! then she says in one text i cant wait all day for you while you sleep the day away! again............i work third shift! at this point i wanted to strangle her but i keep reminding myself shes going thru a rough time. so then my husband goes to get our nphew and we spend the day with him having fun. when we bring him home to her, we pack up his bag but we take one bottle out to let him drink on the car ride home. when he was done with the bottle he threw it down and it rolled under the seat. we brought him and his stuff to her and came home. when we get to our door, she calls my husband and starts yelling at him about how irresponsible we are for not returning all of his things! and ...she wants us to turn around (11pm) and bring the bottle back to her now!!!! what the hell? so i say no shes gonna have to wait till morning but my husband is like we will bring it now. so we get there and i tell her about herself. i say everyone is bending over back watds to help you and you are rude and self centered and unappreciative. she says she doesnt care what we think bc she didnt ask us for any help and her wxpectations of us are low anyway. i told her we ll dont "not" ask us to do anything else since we suck at everything. i really could have punched her in the mouth. we bought him bob the builder dvd, she says, oh he wont watch that he likes yo gabba gabba. we go on nickjr.com order yo gabba gabba, it doesnt come in 2 days she starts ounding us for it. she borrowed a dress form me and she really liked it i gave it to her she didnt say thank you. we bought him some sesame street books she doesnt like the way the sale sticker is placed over the front of the book. she's just rude!!!! my husbband totally agreed with me on the way over there to bring the bottle bak, but needless to say, he didnt say one word at the house. and is now upset with me for sharing with my friend in another state and asking her what i should do. he says im telling family business. really? to my best friend? i dont care, im sharing this with the yahoo community bc i want to know what you think. more

Resolved Question: How to get a father to like son again? If the task is possible?

I try, I try, I try, I try, and I fail. I try to find places where he likes to go and whenever he suggests a place, I don't care if I hate it, I try to make the best out of it because I want to try to have a relationship with my father. How all this started was when I was 13. My mother started a daycare business and my father would always go over there to be with her. I was going through my "I have my own opinions" moment back then. So, my father found this kid in my daycare center (who was 1 at the time) and started treating that kid like his own son. Ever since, he started what he called, "a father-son relationship" with that kid, he stopped talking to me LITERALLY overnight. He hated me for having my own opinions and knowing the world a lot better. Our trips in the car were hell, because we would constantly fight and yell. I stopped talking to him for years. Just recently, in September, I wanted to try a relationship with him and let him emotionally hit me with his anger and now I'm at my breaking point. When I suggest a place, like the mall, he will run to a store that I'm not into. When he suggested a place, like going to the snow, he would try to go to a spot where I wasn't at. If I was with him, he would ignore me. This morning, we had a MAJOR fight about broken promises. He gave me his dirty looks. Just today, that kid that my dad liked as a kid now came back into his life. Right now, he's with him laughing and smiling when in the morning he was PISSED. I don't know how to feel right now. Should I be sad? My father's excuses for not wanting to be with me anymore is because I don't a father's love anymore yet I go to friends' houses and I see them dirt bike riding, riding boats, having fun conversations, and everything. My 25 year old cousin still hangs out with hers and they're closer than ever! I'm sorry for such a long question but I don't know what to do anymore. The only reason why he keeps me still is so he won't have a bad reputation from his friends/family (which is what he told me.) Should I give up? Should I just accept the fact that my father doesn't want have to do nothing about me? Is there any hope left? Thank you and God bless! -MAD DOGOh yeah, and if I ask him something like, "What time do you want me to wake up for school tomorrow?" (he has an unbalanced schedule), he responds in an angry voice, but when his friend calls 5 seconds later, he has a happy voice and starts laughing.David M: If you don't wish to answer this question, then ignore it and move on. Ok, I will go to a counselor. Just give me your credit card number and I'll gladly go there as many times as I want.nuclear_24: Thank you for not being a jerk like David M. I guess what made me appeal to him is because I go to friends' houses and I see my friends and their parents kidding around, play fighting, just a simple happy relationship. I guess I wanted some of that just to see how it's like. Thank you for your answer! God bless!Yahooboyy471: Thanks. I will definitely give bribing a try! I already asked David M to pay for my counseling bills! HAHA! By the way, the kid gets UNCONTROLLABLY jealous when I try to get close to my dad (picture a female protecting her boyfriend and you got his emotion!) more

Resolved Question: I want to start a babysitters club, how should I do it?

oookkk. I want to start in my area a Babysitters Club for middle schoolers and high schoolers. It'll be also like mentoring program, and a tutoring program. We'll take trips, do fundraisers, etc., while providing a service for parents. I was initially gonna start it within the military families in my area, and my local church...Here is how I was gonna start it... - Every new member will recieve a Babysitters kit (made by me)which includes, a tell-all book, info, Kid Kit, etc -Initally membership is $10.00, which goes to CPR and First Aid certification and babysitting course by Red Cross. -We will have meetings 2 times a month, and when we have meetings we talk about new business, making of flyers, redoing Kid Kits, creating t-shirts, planning of trips, fundraisers, or more fun babysitting courses, sharing experience, etc, and eating...lol... -It is for ages 11-18, although, age 11 and 12 will not be babysitting they will be Junior babysitters, and will either accompany "Babysitters, and Senior Babysitters". Babysitters are the 13-15 and the "senior Babysitters" are "16-18" -The meetings will last 1 hour - 1/2. The last 30 minutes is when parents can contact the "Babysitters Club" to set up babysitting, or tutoring services. Prospective Parents can also sit in on the meetings and see how we run it, and at the end request services. I was wondering if this sounds good, and also how to run the money thing. I was plannign on having the babysitters KEEP the money, and MAYBE pay maybe 2-5 dollars to the club, depending on how much they made, when they come to the meetings. BUT, I dont know....

Resolved Question: I want to start a Babysitters Club much like the books, how do I go about it?

Voting Question: Am I overreacting or being insecure?

I have been married for 4 years and my marriage has been all but what I expected. Things went well for the first 2 years and then my husband starting turning into someone completely different. We started arguing a lot and he told me that he resents me for him getting out of the military the year before. It was his decision to get out of Active Duty and continue through the Army Reserves. He blames me for the way his life has become as he says that this is not the life he wanted. He hides things from me and tells me that when he leaves the house, what he does is none of my business and that just because we are married does not mean that I have to be involved in all that he does. Last year, he went on a camping trip with his brother and our two sons, saying that it was a boy’s weekend. When they got home, my son told me that there were two girls that were camping with them. One was my brother-in-laws girlfriend and the other one was apparently a friend of my husband’s. My son said that he was not supposed to tell me because my husband told him it was none of my business. I did not say anything to my husband because I wanted to find out what was going on with this other women. About two weeks later, my husband received two voice mail messages from this woman that I stumbled upon. In the messages the women was telling my husband that she loved him and missed him and wanted him to come and visit her so that they could do some late night fishing again and have fun together. She ended each message with "Love you and miss you babe". Once I heard these messages I confronted my husband and he said that I invaded his privacy and that I had no right to listen to the messages. He continued to yell and put me down saying that it was just my own insecurities and that I needed to get over it. He said that this woman talks to everyone that way and that nothing is going on. I took his word for it and moved on even though after that – he refused to wear his wedding ring and still will not wear it and he says it is because it was given to him under different circumstances. Then, about two weeks ago my husband starting acting funny again and all of the sudden had to go out of town for four days for military business. I had a strange feeling that this had something to do with the women so I checked his phone and he had talked to her for the previous 2 days prior to having to leave suddenly. I called the women from my husbands cell phone and she answered “good morning, honey”…I let her know that I was his wife and she immediately went into defensive mode. We had some words and I hung up. The reserve unit had family day that weekend so me and my 3 children met my husband up at his reserve center and there she was. They had been working together through the military for the last 3 years and see each other when they have military drill and things which generally last the weekend and he does not come home. I confronted my husband about that fact that I do not like him being around this person and he said that he has a right to have friends and that he is not going to stop talking to her because there is nothing going on. He said that his military career is more important to him that I am because he knows that in 10 years he will have the military and he does not know if I will be around. He said that talking to her is not hurting anything and I informed him that it is hurting our relationship and marriage and he replied that I am the one who is hurting our relationship and marriage because I am insecure and am causing problems over nothing. So, I feel that he is willing to break up his family and get divorced in order to continue to talk to this person and is making it out to be my fault so that I shut my mouth and let this continue. I do not appreciate some women calling my husband honey and telling him that she loves him and misses him…Am I getting worked up over nothing and being insecure? Or do I have a valid reason to be upset with my husband? more

Resolved Question: Could someone analyze a dream for me?

Hey out there i really wish i could read dreams easier/better myself so i wouldn't have to ask...but i'm in a bind...like really. I recently left my topsy-turvy life in sanfrancisco for a more even and composed life in southern california. Since I've left sf, I have very detailed and therefore real-seeming dreams about the place. They're not recurring per se. I just end up in san francisco and usually have some encounters with my friends who are there. Last night, I had returned to sanfrancisco from where I live in southern california totally perceiving that my life in southern california was a memory at this point. The building I used to live in had been repainted from olive green to black, giving it a more pronounced/swanky look. I walked into my apartment and one of my old roommates and very best friends was in bed sleeping. I just waved hello to her and continued on my business. I took a shower, sang in the shower, and afterwards proceeded to check the voicemail on my phone. Apparently, I hadn't checked my voicemail recently...because there was a message from my sleeping roommate. It seemed as though the voicemail from her had been left when she was back on the east-coast with her family. At this point, the sleeping rommate had woken up and proceeded to start talking to her boyfriend on her cell phone. So, I continued listening to the voicemail from her and she was telling me that she was having a lot of fun on the east coast but struggling her family. And every now & then she would pause in her story and intently say my name "Tyler, Tyler!" as if she was making sure I was listening to her. The voicemail went on for a long time, in which, she did start crying. By the time the voicemail ended, said roommate was still on the phone. So, I just looked around at the apartment. It looked very cluttered....but pretty. Both of my roommates had added to the apartment since I had left. My other roommate had brought stuff from home, that his mother had given him, like an old china set and a very long renaissance painting (that he may have painted himself, I'm not sure). And "sleeping roommate" had also contributed some artwork. However, the pieces I looked at seemed to be centered on us and our group of friends. Little notes, collages and sayings all targeted towards me & the people I know. I noticed some photos of us in her artwork as well...I don't remember some of the details of what i saw. But, it seemed as though one was written to me as a note of reassurance. After getting off the phone, me & sleeping roommate acknowledged the voicemail she left me and we proceeded to leave the apartment. Once outside, we pleasantly split up and I attempted to go meet one of my other friends who had left a message asking if I was "still going to meet him at church." Which is weird, cause...we don't ever go to church. I then looked a picture he had sent me through my phone and it was of him walking through a graveyard (supposed to be church?) That gave me the wiggins, so I decided not to meet him. I remember pacing up and down the street for awhile and then I woke up. This dream came after I had met one of my friends (from san francisco) in Mexico and after another dream where I had fought an epic battle with shape-shifters involved. My dreams involving sanfrancisco/my loved ones from sanfrancisco always seem to be more linear than my others dreams. Thus making them more real and when I wake up from them they're always the kind of dreams that leave this really emotional residue. I'd really like to move on...or at least that's what I tell myself during my waking life...but then I have these dreams and I feel as though san francisco is calling me back.... if you could help out, I'd be really grateful for your service + understanding. :) peace and light, tyler more

Resolved Question: Jokies fot you all!!!!!?

Personally I don’t care for telemarketers, in fact I really don’t care for them. They call at the most inoppertune times - when you’re eating, sleeping, relaxing, or just sitting around doing nothing (yea even then it’s annoying). In the even you have alittle time on your hands and want to really ensure they don’t call back (let’s face it, the National Do Not Call List only goes so far)… here is the F&J top 10 list for getting rid of a telemarketer… Say, “No,” over and over. Be sure to vary the sound of each no, and keep an even tempo even as they’re trying to speak. Maybe sing a song with all “No’s” This is the most fun if you can keep going until they hang up. If they want to loan you money, tell them you just filed for bankruptcy and you could it. Ask, “How long can I keep it? Do I have to ever pay it back, or is it like that other money I borrowed before my bankruptcy?” If they start out with, “How are you today?” say, “Why do you want to know?” Or you can say, “I’m so glad you asked, because no one seems to care these days and I have all these problems, my colon is acting up again, my rectum are sore, my pet rock just died…” When they try to get back to the sales process, just keep talking about your problems… if they persist - ask them why they don’t care. If the person says he’s Joe Shmoe from the Acme Company, ask him to spell his name, then ask him to spell the company name, then ask for his address. Ask for landmarks. Continue asking questions about the company for as long as necessary. This one works better if you are male: Telemarketer: “Hi, my name is Jessica and I’m with Roger Dodd Services…. You: “Hang on a second.” (few seconds pause) “Okay, (in a really husky voice) what are you wearing?” If you get one of those pushy sales people who just won’t shut up, patiently listen to their sales pitch. When they try to close the deal, tell them that you’ll need to go get your credit card. Then, just set the phone down and go do laundry, go shopping or whatever. See how long that commission based scum waits for you to get your credit card. If a long distance phone company calls trying to get you to sign up for their Family and Friends plan, reply, in as sinister a voice as you can, “I don’t have any friends… would you be my friend?” If that doesn’t work, say “Please.” Tell them you work for the same company they work for. For example: Telemarketer: “This is John From Acme Sales.” You: “Acme Sales, hey I work for them too! Which center are you calling from?” Telemarketer: “Uh, Dallas, Texas.” You: “Great, how’s business over there? The weather? Too bad the company has a policy against selling to employees! Oh well, see ya.” Let the person go through their spiel, providing minimal but necessary feedback in the form of an occasional “Uh-huh, really, or, “That’s fascinating.” Finally, when they ask you to buy, ask them to marry you. They get all flustered, but just tell them you couldn’t give your credit card number to someone who’s a complete stranger. You might even find your soulmate. Tell the telemarketer (this is my personal favorite) you are busy and if they will give you their phone number you will call them back. If they say they are not allowed to give out their number, then ask them for their home number and tell them you will call them at home (this is usually the most effective method of getting rid of telemarketers). If the sales person says, “Well, I don’t really want to get a call at home,” say, “Ya! Now you know how I feel.” (smiling, of course…) more

Resolved Question: Should I tell him the baby isn't his and break his heart?

I’ve been married now for almost 2 years to an incredible man who means the world to me. The first time we meet was at a restaurant and it was love at first sight. We dated for 2 years before he proposed. His family was convinced I was a gold digger after his money but never said a thing as he threatened to cut them out of his life completely if they didn’t show me respect. About 6 months into our marriage I started sleeping with my ex-boyfriend who my husband trusted me to spend time with as I insisted we were just friends. This continued for about a year ending about 3 months ago. I was so selfish and self-centered back then not caring how much it would hurt him if he were to find out as long as I got what I wanted never realizing just how lucky I was to be married to someone like that. My husband adores children and has told me time and time again how he couldn’t wait for us to have a baby of our own without ever putting any pressure on me. I found out 2 months ago I was pregnant and my husband was just ecstatic. I’d never seen him so happy before. Problem is the baby isn’t his. The dates don’t match at all so it’s definitely my ex’s baby and considering that my husband trusts me completely he never once doubted the paternity of the baby. Should I tell him and break him heart? It's definitely not his baby. By my calculations the baby would have been conceived some time in the 2 weeks my husband was away on business. My ex is your typical bad boy trust fun baby with no ambition or drive which is why I ended it in the first place. He called as soon as he found out I was pregnant though and assured me that if the baby is his and my husband leaves me he’d take care of us. Still I’d much rather my husband be the male role model in the kid’s life as he’d make a truly wonderful dad. Should I tell him? more
