She Caught Her Husband Cheating On Her With Their Daughter’s Teacher, And Her Loved Ones Are Trying To Convince Her To Not Divorce Him
For the last 20 years, this 37-year-old woman has been with her 40-year-old husband, and they have been married for 15 years.
They have three children together, who are 4, 9, and 12. Sadly, she recently discovered that her husband has been cheating on her with none other than her daughter’s teacher.
“I reported the teacher and separated from my husband,” she explained. “I served him divorce papers because cheating has always been a deal breaker for me.”
Her husband pleaded with her not to go through with the divorce, but she didn’t cave. It’s been nearly two months since she served her husband with the papers, and so many people in her life are trying to convince her to stay with her husband.
Her loved ones basically have five arguments for why she shouldn’t divorce her husband after all. The first is that all men pretty much cheat, so if she does move on and find someone new, the odds of him cheating on her are high, so it’s better for her to stay with what she knows.
The second argument is that if she leaves her husband, that will make her a single mom, and men won’t exactly find that desirable. She will be carrying around a lot of baggage for a woman of her age, which will leave her unattractive to the dating pool.
The third one is that she should allow her husband to cheat on her and not care since he pays their bills and is an excellent provider.
Argument number four is that her kids will be negatively impacted by the divorce, so she should put them first above her own personal feelings.
And the final argument is that she is taking the father of her kids away from her kids, which is a terrible thing to do.

She didn’t really pay any mind to these arguments, but when her mom weighed in, she really stopped to consider her words.
“My mom also divorced my dad when he cheated,” she said. “Our dad abandoned us after the divorce was final. I barely talk to him.”
“My mother said sometimes she wishes she didn’t divorce my dad. He left us because he was angry that my mom didn’t want to work things out. If she had just worked things out, I would still have a dad.”
“Part of the reason she was single until I was 18 [was] because she didn’t want strange men to…take advantage of me. She said to think about it.”
She has spent a considerable amount of time weighing out her options. She can’t bear to look her husband in the face because she’s so disgusted by what he did.
She’s cool with never dating a man again, but she does have abandonment issues from her childhood.
Thinking of what the divorce will do to her children makes her want to stop and take back the divorce papers.
“But how can I stay with a man who disgusts me?” she wondered. “We will be living like roommates.”
