My partner just admitted he has FIVE kids he never told me about – and I never want the three kids we share to see him again

Every relationship has its setbacks, but it’s not often that your partner lies about his secret, estranged family.

A British woman took to Mumsnet to speak out about her 51-year-old partner’s deceptive antics after he admitted having a family of five in Denmark, despite previously telling her he was too busy with work to to have a large family.

The woman, 18 weeks pregnant with their third child, said her partner told her he always wanted to have a big family before he met her, but he couldn’t because ‘work was so busy’.

She asked in her post if it was wrong to keep her own children from him after the shocking conversation that shook her to her core.

Users immediately defended her and expressed concern that he could in fact still be married to another woman.

The poster, 18 weeks pregnant with their third child, showed her partner previously claiming ‘he always wanted a big family and never had children because work was so busy’, but he had just admitted the opposite during a conversation.

The anonymous woman began her message: “I’m so angry I don’t even know what to do!” Tonight he sat me down and told me he had to confess, okay? HE HAS FIVE CHILDREN.’

She explained that her partner is from Malta and moved to London six years ago after spending most of his life in Norway and Denmark, and that she shares two children with him.

‘Yes, that’s right, he has five children in Denmark, aged 24, 22, 21, 20 and 18. Apparently the four eldest are in London this weekend and want to see him for the first time in six years!!!!! WHAT.

‘I am so angry. I’ve never met his family, claims he’s an only child (who knows) and his parents are dead (right?)’.

The woman was told that her partner had actually kept in touch with his children, but that they had moved abroad for work or university.

He was due to meet them all while they were visiting the British capital. Shocked and devastated, the woman forced her partner to leave their shared home and go to a hotel.

She explained that she did not want him around their own children for fear that he would also abandon them for six years.

Response: Mumsnet users consoled the anonymous woman about her shocking situation

Fortunately, the woman was not stuck with him for financial reasons as she has her own income stream but had found out that his secret family was receiving money from him.

In a desperate plea she asked, ‘What should I do now? We can’t recover from this, right? He’s psychotic? Can I keep my kids away from him or do I just hope he flies off somewhere else and leaves us to fend for ourselves?!

“AIBU (am I being unreasonable) to feel like the world just imploded on itself and wonder what the hell is wrong with him!? Why would he lie?!”

An user advised her to hire a private investigator, but added, “Dating a financially secure man who has children — especially children who are teens and young adults and don’t live in the same country — wouldn’t be a deal breaker for many women.” ‘.

She continued, “I don’t see any reason why he never mentioned this? It’s absolutely insane! I would definitely initiate a divorce and get your financial ducks in a row.

‘I would also hire a private investigator to look more into his background. Can you call his ex-wife in Denmark? She must have some information to share!’

Another user was happy to have sent her partner to a hotel and said she should be ‘furious’.

“I’m so glad you sent him to a hotel. You should be furious. I would throw out all his stuff, take his key/change the locks, take all the joint money and spend it, and not talk to him,” she finished.

Another sympathetic said: ‘Oh god, that’s beyond crazy! How will you ever believe a word he says again? You must feel like your entire relationship is based on lies.

“It will be very difficult to overcome, I think. I’m sorry you’re going through such a horrible, painful mess.”
