Ever since she was 17, this 24-year-old girl has been with her 25-year-old fiancé, and she felt all along like she won the lottery with him.

Her fiancé is hilarious and sweet, and everyone in her life is quick to point out that she’s so lucky to have found a man who is the total package.

She’s been floating on cloud nine with him for the last seven years. He treats her with respect and shows her he loves her.

Not only is her fiancé one of the most important people in her life – her mom is too.

“I have always had a good relationship with my mom; it has always been her and I against the world,” she explained.

“My dad died in an accident when I was little. We always joked we are the real-life Rory and Lorelai from Gilmore Girls. My mom dated guys on and off, and they were usually cool, but nothing really passed the early stages.”

Four years ago, when her mom confessed that she was pregnant, she couldn’t hide her shock. Her mom was 42 at the time, and while her mom was casually dating a man she went on a handful of dates with, she never got to meet the guy.

Her mom’s pregnancy was a colossal surprise to both of them, as her mom didn’t think she could even get pregnant at her age.

Her mom was concerned, and she supported her as best as she could. Her mom had her when she was very young, and she was not planned either.

Her mom ultimately gave birth to a baby boy, and her toddler brother is now 3-years-old. Ever since the day her brother was born, she’s pitched in to help care for him, and she adores him.

“My fiancé was also always helpful with my brother; we would take him out for ice cream, playground, pool time during summer, etc.,” she said.

A couple of days ago, she was home alone binge-watching a show on her laptop when it died. Feeling too lazy to get up and grab her charger, she reached for her fiancé’s iPad since she has the password.

She logged into it and saw a slew of messages she recognized as coming from her mom’s phone number, but the name attached to it was different.

Her mom was texting her fiancé, who had been saved in his contacts under a new name, and she saw messages from her mom saying she felt super guilty and should tell her the truth.

She learned from the messages that her fiancé slept with her mom and is actually her toddler brother’s dad.

She had a complete breakdown as she kept reading and waiting for her fiancé to come home that night.

“I wish I was one of those women who can pretend and get things together before confronting the cheater, but I can’t,” she admitted.

He arrived shortly before midnight, and when he walked through the door, she passed him the iPad, open to the conversation he had with her mom about fathering her brother.

She simply asked her fiancé for more information, and he reluctantly gave her the terrible details. A couple of years ago, she was on a girl’s trip with her friends, and her fiancé had dinner with her mom.

This isn’t weird, as her fiancé was literally a part of her family at this point, and they both would have dinner alone with one another’s parents.

“Somehow (unclear how since he couldn’t explain it well), one thing led to another, and they ended up sleeping together,” she added.

“They felt guilty but apparently not guilty enough because they slept together 2-3 more times, using the excuse of meeting up to discuss how to tell me. Apparently, when my mom got pregnant, they stopped sleeping together and decided not to tell me since my fiancé “loved me and couldn’t lose me,” and my mom didn’t want to lose her daughter.”

“So here we are now, with two of the most disgusting humans. I obviously broke the engagement, told my mom never to talk to me again, and moved in with a friend. I feel bad for my brother since I really love him, but I can’t be around him now; I just can’t.”

All along, she’s been helping her mom and fiancé care for their child without knowing about the betrayal. It makes her want to throw up.

What advice do you have for her?
