Her Husband Got Drunk And Spent The Night At His Ex-Girlfriend’s House, So Now She Wants To Get A Divorce
This woman and her husband started dating in 2019 and married in September. She’s currently pregnant with their first kid and is deeply in love with her husband. When they first started dating, her husband introduced her to his close friend, Emma.
At first, she didn’t realize that he and Emma had been in a relationship for a few years, but she immediately noticed how physically affectionate they were, and she thought it was strange.
Eventually, she told her husband that his friendship with Emma made her uncomfortable, and he thought she was overdramatic.
But he finally came around and accepted her perspective and had clear boundaries with Emma from then on. She wouldn’t describe herself as envious, and her husband was friends with both men and women.
“I trusted him like he trusted me. But sitting on my (at the time fiancé’s) lap acting cute and childish was a boundary that was crossed for me,” she said.
Last Saturday, her husband went out drinking with friends, and later that night, he called her to say he was too intoxicated to come home, so he’d be spending the night with one of his friends, implying that it was a male friend.
“The morning after, he casually told me he spent the night at Emma’s. I literally wanted to vomit. I packed my things and called my dad to come and pick me up,” she explained.
She waited until her husband was at work on Monday to ask her father to pick her up, and she texted her husband and said, “‘I’m done.'” After he stayed the night with Emma, she knew she wanted to file for divorce.
Since she left the house, she has been staying with her parents. All week, her husband has bombarded her with calls and texts. He dropped by her parents’ house daily to persuade her to talk to him, but she wouldn’t.

Whenever her husband asked her to talk, she told him that he could communicate with her through her lawyer once the divorce process began. Over the last few days, she can’t stop wondering if her husband had an affair or not.
She compared it to Schrödinger’s cat thought experiment in which the cat in the box is both alive and dead at the same time until you open the box to find out the truth. She wouldn’t know if her husband had an affair until he told her the truth.
Her friends believe she’s blowing the situation out of proportion, and while her parents support her, she knows it because they trust her choices as they have for her whole life.
Because her parents are respectful of her choices, they haven’t told her about their personal views on the matter. Her husband has been losing his mind since she left.
“Emma texted me, swearing up and down that nothing happened, with a ‘lol’ and said, ‘Don’t be this insecure and sensitive,'” she shared.
In response, she texted Emma that this situation wasn’t her business because she and her husband were directly impacted, not her.
Emma wrote back and said, “‘It’s not like we hooked up.'” She didn’t respond to this and has no idea if she’s doing the right thing by filing for divorce.
