A woman who had given her entire life in service was devastated to discover disturbing messages on her husband’s phone. She revealed on Reddit that she was Indian and that she was raised in Canada.
For education, she relocated to the US, where she later met her spouse. She claimed that she fell hopelessly in love with this man, who was white.
She rebelled against her family and religion to be with him, to the point where she adopted his Christian religion.
Her marriage was perfect, with a husband who always reminded her how much he loved her. She also got along with his family, and they were expecting their first child together. But she suspected something was wrong when his behavior started changing.
How Did She Discover the Affair?
The wife thought her husband had grown distant as they celebrated the grandmother of the husband’s birthday and her unborn child. Things between them were still tight days after the party.
He went on a trip for two weeks, and even when he returned, he still gave her the cold shoulder. The distance between them was starting to be unsettling, until one day, she recalled “I noticed that he fell asleep on the sofa while drinking. His phone was unlocked. I couldn’t help myself and snooped through his phone.”
She located the “kik” app, where she uncovered a chat from 2019. Her spouse had been talking to an other woman. She continued reading and learned that her husband had fallen in love with this woman. He disclosed his pregnancy to her and begged her to reconsider their relationship till his unborn child was older.
The husband told the woman that he could not leave his pregnant wife, and convinced her that love was patient. He even went as far as saying she would make a wonderful “bonus mother.”
The most unexpected revelation was that her husband had also become pregnant with her, but that she had chosen to have an abortion since she and her husband had decided the time was not appropriate.
The wife could not process all of the information. She made the decision to call a colleague and spent the night there to sort through everything. She admitted, “I just feel like I made a terrible mistake marrying this man and defying my family.
Although the wife knew divorce was the right thing to do, she could not bear the thought of being a single mother and co-parenting with someone who was cheating on her. She thought this was an opportunity to get an abortion and reconnect with her family. She turned to Reddit to get the public’s opinion.
What Advice Did People Give Her?
The woman received conflicting advice from Reddit commenters. She was advised by some to save the screenshots and not show them to her husband as she planned her escape route.
However, some also believed that having an abortion would help her to entirely cut ties with the man who had taken everything from her. Others simply advised her to start over with her child and get away from him.
Some people also shared their own personal experiences and sympathized with the woman. The wife was encouraged to stay strong as she finds a way out of her painful situation. Generally, internet users urged the woman not to spend the rest of her life with this man and give herself a chance to start over.
