Six years ago, this 31-year-old man tied the knot with his 28-year-old wife. He figured their marriage was built on an unshakable foundation and that things between him and his wife were excellent.

Unfortunately, he was so wrong. Last weekend, he accidentally uncovered proof that his wife was cheating on him.

He came home early from work, and his wife had no clue that he had walked into their home. He overheard his wife on the phone with her affair partner, chatting about what she wanted this guy to do to her in extreme detail.

He pulled out his phone and recorded the conversation, which lasted for 25 long minutes. His wife concluded the call by telling her affair partner that she was about to head out to meet him.

His wife exited their kitchen and walked into their living room, where he was standing. It then dawned on his wife that he had heard her whole conversation.

Initially, his wife said she was speaking to her best friend, who wanted to grab drinks with her. But he played the recording he took for his wife, and then she started sobbing while begging him not to leave her.

He demanded to know the identity of her affair partner, and it turns out it’s one of her dad’s employees. Apparently, his wife’s family doesn’t know about the affair.

“Then she said the only reason she cheated was because she thought I was having an affair with our babysitter, which was an insane accusation,” he explained.

“Our babysitter is an 18-year-old girl who lives on our street. My wife hired her and is the only one who communicates with her.”

“My wife claimed that she found blonde hair in our bed (my wife is brunette). She claimed that the babysitter dresses inappropriately when I’m at the house. [My] wife also claims she found the babysitter in my closet when she came home.”

He told his wife she was making everything up and needs to seek out some “serious help” for thinking he was having an affair.

Since last weekend, his wife has been pleading with him to allow their lives to go back to the way they were.

He can’t even so much as look at his wife; he’s that disgusted. The sole reason he’s remained in their home is that his daughter’s birthday is happening this week, and he doesn’t want her day to be destroyed because of his wife.

“I basically need to decide if I stay or divorce her,” he said. “If I stay, what rules do I ask her to follow?”

“The reason I’m leaning towards staying is because I want my daughters to have both parents all the time. Also, the house is in my wife’s name, along with the cars. My wife is a stay-at-home mom without an income. I talked to my friend who’s an attorney, and he said I would almost definitely lose the house.”

“My wife would end up with custody of my daughters. My child support payments would be north of $2,000 a month, along with spousal support. My friend also told me the jurisdiction we live in doesn’t favor the father much.”

He’s left wondering what he should do and how he can prevent his wife from cheating on him in the future.
