She Started Dating Her Husband While He Was Still Married, And After Tying The Knot, She Found Out He Was Still In Love With His Ex-Wife
This woman admitted that she started dating her husband when he was still married. But, at the time, he claimed that his marriage to his ex-wife was already over and that he was going to be officially divorced soon.
So, she found out that her husband’s last marriage had a lot of problems. However, that’s all she really knew about the situation.
Their relationship, on the other hand, was stellar for a while. Well, that was until just a few months ago, when some issues started to set off alarm bells.
Out of nowhere, her husband started acting really distant toward her. And at first, she acknowledged how, sometimes, couples just go through stages where they ebb and flow. That’s why she tried to just give him some space.
Before they tied the knot, they also went to pre-marital counseling because her husband really did not want to mess up their relationship.
But again, during those few months, she recalled how they just were not physically close at all.
Still, she really did not think her husband would cheat on her. After all, he was never late to return home and did not hide anything on his phone.
However, one day, they finally started being close again. And in the middle of it all, she heard her husband say his ex-wife’s name.
At the moment, she honestly just froze. Then, the next day, she decided to confront her husband, and the truth finally came out.

“He didn’t lie to me. He broke down in tears and said that he was still in love with his ex. My heart broke. I guess I know how she must have felt when I was the other woman,” she revealed.
“I also asked him if he really loved her, then why did he marry me. And I got the full picture after six freaking years.”
She learned that, yes, his last relationship did have a lot of problems. But her husband admitted that the issues were his fault.
He apparently never confessed to having an affair with her. So, his ex-wife was forced to find out on her own and confront him about it.
Afterward, her husband claimed that he was actually ready to try and make his last marriage work. But then, his ex-wife served him with divorce papers and claimed to be giving him the “freedom” that he wanted.
So, her husband actually begged and pleaded to get his ex-wife back. However, his ex reportedly acted very wisely in the whole situation.
“His ex only kept the house and fifty-fifty for the kids. She even explained to the kids the reason for their divorce,” she explained.
“His oldest daughter knew the actual reason, but the other two were given a kid-friendly reason. On top of his divorce, his oldest daughter not talking to him really put a toll on his mind.”
Anyway, after all of that happened, her husband knew that she was there for him. He also believed that he should try to just move on with his life and be with her instead.
However, deep down, her husband admitted to always loving his ex-wife. He also said he felt really guilty for hurting his ex.
While she can understand his mixed feelings, though, she just cannot understand why her husband decided to express them now.
So, while she previously thought her husband’s ex-wife was the problem, she is now just angry at him and believes he was the real issue.
“He is a weak man. I am no better woman,” she said.
She knows that her husband will always have a special place in his heart for his ex-wife, especially because they have been together since they were teenagers.
And since finding out about his lust for his ex, she has started to connect the dots and notice the signs in her own relationship.
“Whenever he would see his ex with her new boyfriend, he would get upset. He tried to hide it, but now I know why,” she vented.
For the time being, she is also now living in their guest room until they sort everything out. But it appears she has no clue how to handle this situation and move forward.
Does it sound like this relationship was doomed from the start since it started with lies? Do you think she and her husband will ever be able to recover from this? What would you do?
