Her Husband’s Ex-Girlfriend Offered To Be Their Surrogate, But She Finds The Whole Situation Extremely Weird
When this 37-year-old woman was just 13, she was in an accident that left her unable to have children.
Now, over two decades later, she has been married to her 35-year-old husband for 10 years. They recently felt like they were finally settled into their jobs and lifestyles, too, which is why they’ve begun thinking about starting a family.
In the past, she was always open to the idea of adopting a kid.
“But my husband is adamant about us having our own children. This is where things went awry,” she explained.
It all began while they were researching surrogacy, and her mother-in-law texted her out of the blue – asking about her plans to find a surrogate.
Her mother-in-law went on to talk about how expensive the process was and claimed to have a “perfect solution.” The real kicker? The so-called “solution” was using her husband’s ex-girlfriend as a surrogate.
She found out that her mother-in-law remained in contact with her husband’s ex after they split up and maintained a solid relationship with the woman.
“It was weird because, according to my husband, things ended badly between them – like to the point where he apparently had to block his ex,” she revealed.
Nonetheless, her mother-in-law has kept photos of her husband and his ex in her home as if none of that ever happened.

Anyway, she was completely taken aback by her mother-in-law’s suggestion and actually had to excuse herself from the conversation. Then, only a couple of minutes later, she received a text from her husband’s ex herself.
“Saying how bad she felt for me that I couldn’t experience motherhood personally, and how much she wanted to facilitate that experience for me,” she detailed.
Once her husband’s ex officially offered to be her surrogate, though, she immediately turned down the idea.
She also postponed the entire discussion of having children with her husband and is actually considering filing for divorce over this.
She simply finds it very fishy that his ex would ever want to do such a thing.
Nonetheless, before she pulls the trigger on ending her marriage, she can’t help but wonder if she’s overreacting.
Could there be an ulterior motive at play here? Or is it possible that her husband’s ex was actually just trying to help? How would you feel in her shoes?
