Tbh though I think the chances of it working can be quite high. It makes sense, at least on paper.

Even if they get the funding, it will take time to finish the project, maybe with negative or no result at all... even if the results are positive, are you willing to be the first volunteer to try this new treatment? I'm just saying it may take years.... i have a doctorate in Human Genetics and worked with stem cells quite a lot in my graduate studies.

Then, unfortunately, your wife has to stay here to keep the kids. She can't take the kids out of the country without your permission. It's the law, at least in most Western countries. She has to stay, and you HAVE TO support her financially so she can keep the kids. Especially the newborn.....you'll have only visitation rights for less than two hours at a time as the baby would need to feed. Talk to her with reasons that this is the situation and you'll do your best to support her and the kids.... but she has to stay here... it sucks... I feel for her. You messed up big time... pregnancy with STI is dangerous and high risk... you even put your unborn child at risk with your mistake. Just be as kind as you can be from now on... you caused a lot of pain..

Why do you think you can't have ANY contact at all?? I'm just curious.... have you murdered somebody in her home country, and the police is after you? Haha. Even if her parents hate you, you can still be in the picture. I dont think any country can remove visitation rights without a solid reason. My colleague's ex is an addict and criminal, and even he gets to see the kid every week

He says in the comments that his wife is pregnant. Probably, she figured out about STI during standard pregnancy follow-up tests.

But I agree that this TIFU sub is mostly creative writing at this point and a very bad one! Like we had a post about a forgotten tampon a couple of days ago, and then there were all these stories followed about forgotten bandages and butt plugs! and whatnot

I'm now curious about where you both are from, actually

So the only option is to pay her good alimony and child support so she can stay here where you are, and you'll get sufficient visitation rights. You can't have it both ways.

Anyway, you can't have a newborn separated from her mom... so you have to find a way to make it work. 13 hours twice a year is doable

Ooofff... and the FU is getting even bigger. How far is her home country? Honestly, I would let her go and financially support her and would ask to have the kids over the summer as well as Christmas holidays.

Howcome two?
