The woman pleaded for advice as she worried she had become the “third wheel” in her relationship with her husband after he discovered he had an adult daughter through DNA testing
A woman has admitted that she’s worried her husband is falling for his long-lost daughter after the pair reconnected following DNA testing. The unnamed woman, 49, admitted to feeling “jealous” when her 51-year-old husband of five years discovered he had an adult daughter, now 24.
The couple were both divorced when they met, but he had two sons from his first marriage and was “delighted” to find out he also had a daughter recently. But according to his wife, he’s grown a little too close to her.
“I have seen some of their messages and they are full of ‘I love you’ and love emojis, which is very similar to the messages between us,” she told The Sun’s Dear Deidre advice column.

She described feeling increasingly like a “spare part” as her husband grows closer to his newfound daughter. In the letter, she explained how his daughter came to stay for the weekend.
“They were literally all over each other, touching, cuddling, stroking, I felt like a spare part,” she said. And it didn’t end there, as the two went to a party together and came home drunk in the early hours of the morning.
She adds: “I could hear him slurring about how much he loved her. I went downstairs to ask them to be quiet but when I walked in the kitchen where they were making tea and toast and were looking so intently at each other it looked like they were about to kiss.”
She finished off the letter by saying their relationship worried her, admitting she’s confused as to whether she’s being over-jealous or has a right to be concerned. Having brought it up with her husband, he denies any wrongdoing and says he’s simply enjoying having a new daughter.
Despite this, she feels the pair are “infatuated”. Having looked up genetic sexual attraction, she’s even more concerned that their relationship is developing into something more sinister.
But the Sun’s advice guru Deidre seems to think she has nothing to worry about. She advised: “This is a huge adjustment for all of you and your husband is building a relationship with her to make up for lost time. In time his new daughter will settle into both your lives.”
