Husband Doesn't Want To Raise A Kid That Isn't His. Is He Wrong?

A husband took to Reddit to share his story about raising not only his own daughter but also his wife's best friend's daughter because the other dad is unreliable. While it's not the child's fault, it's straining his bonding time with his daughter, and he's fed up with the situation.
Redditors quickly came to his defense, understanding his pain and taking his side. They didn't hold back their feelings about his wife or their heartfelt wishes for the child with the unreliable dad. For the full story, keep scrolling.
