Her Husband Wants To Divorce Her Because She Made A Joke About Cheating, And She Did Cheat On Him In The Past
This 29-year-old woman met her 35-year-old husband back in 2017, and they got married this year. Now, back in 2019, she ended up cheating on him. While they were living together at the time, she says their relationship was pretty rocky.
She got drunk one night and ended up sleeping with her ex from high school. She admits it was an awful decision on her part, and she’s completely to blame for it.
It was only after she got married to her husband that he confronted her about her cheating, and she admitted it.
“He said he kind of knew about it but still wanted to get married [to] me, and he knows I’ve been loyal, so he said he will put this in the past,” she explained.
“We were watching a TV show, and the show was spicy and dramatic, [a] married girl was flirting with her highschool ex in front of her husband thing. And I joked about it, “Omg, that’s so NTR, what the heck, hahaha,” and things got really cold (NTR is a Japanese term for a genre about someone stealing your wife, etc., basically cheating).”
Her husband told her to stop it, and she figured it was because he didn’t like her using the term that she did, but in fact, her husband was referencing her cheating in the past.
It then slowly dawned on her that the remark she made was entirely inconsiderate, especially since her husband is still quite hurt over her cheating.
Her husband responded that she is careless and never was sorry about cheating on him. He then wanted to know how she could make a joke about something like that, as if she had any remorse, she never would do such a thing.
Her husband stated that he can no longer live with the betrayal, and he figured she was, at the very least still feeling guilty, but clearly, she wasn’t.

He also mentioned he tries his very best to not think about the cheating, but she keeps bringing it up.
Since then, she has been saying sorry to her husband nonstop, but he keeps insisting she has no remorse, and now he wants to seriously divorce her.
“In my excuse, it was one drunk night 4 years ago, and I don’t think about it all the time,” she said. “I have moved on.”
“I don’t think about my mistake every time I hear the word “cheating.” Yes, I had my bad days, but after 4 years, it’s not haunting me anymore because I opened up, I apologized with tears, and I thought we moved on.”
“So the concept of “cheating” has become something that’s irrelevant to me because I never think about it, and I don’t want to do it and will never do it…Yes, I feel guilty and terrible when I think about it, but I don’t live in agony all the time. I admit I was careless and inconsiderate when I joked about it.”
She does love her husband, and it hurts her to see him so heartbroken. She’s wondering what she can do or say to make him not follow through with the divorce.
