If a spouse has an affair tgat results with a child being born, i guess that would be a very hard thing to accept. As someone else said, the parent may well have to pay maintenence firvthe illegitimate child which could impact the upbringing of the children from the marriage. I cant imagine the upset that would cause to all involved..

[On saying all that, i do know a couple this happened to. The guy fathered a child with another woman, yet only months earlier, he and his wife chose to abort a child because they 'werent ready'. He has been fully involved in his sons life, and the wife has been too. They never did have a child together, although the wife always hoped they would, it just never happened for them. ]
