“As a father, I have nothing but contempt for any man whose love is contingent. If I were to find out that Heloise was not my biological daughter, I’d be stunned (and shocked at my wife’s deception). It might change my relationship with Eira — but it sure as hell wouldn’t change my relationship with Heloise. Coming from an extended family where half-siblings and adoptees and step-children abound, I know how absurd it is to link devotion and biology. What makes Heloise “mine” has damn all to do with my DNA — and everything to do with the energy and devotion and commitment I have put into my relationship with her since she was in her mama’s womb.” Hugo Schwyzer responds to the claim that “cuckolding is the worst thing that can happen to men.” Via the Good Men Project
