She Read Her Husband’s Ex-Wife’s Journals And Found Out His Ex Purposely Tried To Babytrap Him With Their Daughter, But She’s Unsure If She Should Tell Her Husband The Truth She Uncovered
This 27-year-old woman and her husband, who is 32, just tied the knot last year. And even though this is their second marriage, they are happier than ever.
“We are annoyingly happy together and have a blended family with three amazing kids,” she said.
After tying the knot, she and her biological kids also temporarily moved into her husband’s home – which he had formerly bought with his ex-wife.
Apparently, he’d won the property in the divorce because his ex-wife wasn’t interested in it, and living there made sense until she and her husband could find a bigger house to buy together.
However, her husband is neurodivergent, which means he has trouble “seeing” certain issues around the house and has a particularly tough time when it comes to deep cleaning. She actually loves organizing and cleaning, though, so she didn’t mind taking over on that front.
Well, while cleaning out their garage and some closets, she realized that her husband’s ex had left behind a bunch of personal belongings from when she moved out – such as documents, family photos, mementos, and heirlooms.
In the beginning, she and her husband would just send the belongings with her stepdaughter when her husband’s ex took over custody on the weekends.
But, after a while, her husband’s ex admitted that she didn’t want to receive any more of her old belongings. So, his ex asked that they just throw out or donate anything else they find.
She was fine with that, too, until she wound up discovering a box full of old college notebooks stashed away in a crawlspace inside their home.

“Yeah, I was feeling nosey and resentful for having to continue to clean up her mess, so I flipped through one of the notebooks,” she recalled.
It was then that she discovered a journal entry dated about seven months prior to the birth of her stepdaughter. Apparently, the journal entry detailed how her husband’s ex had tried to purposely get pregnant without telling her husband in order to save their relationship – which was going down the drain at the time.
Her husband’s ex-wife also claimed that she “loved” her husband and would do anything not to lose him within the journal entry.
Obviously, she was shocked after finding out that her husband’s ex-wife entrapped him, but she actually hasn’t told her husband about her discovery.
“I have kept this knowledge from him so far because I don’t want to cause him pain because I decided to be nosey,” she explained.
On the other hand, though, what she uncovered is “huge,” and she thinks her husband might deserve to know – given what happened during his last marriage.
“[His ex] was very emotionally abusive towards him and constantly cheated on him during their entire marriage… but would use him getting her pregnant as the reason why she was with him and he needed to support her and take her back no matter what,” she revealed.
So now, she can’t help but wonder if telling her husband that his ex-wife actually baby-trapped him would really be the right thing to do or not.
Was it wrong of her to read the journal? Regardless, do you think her husband deserves to know the truth or not? What would you do in her shoes?
