A year ago, TikToker @inkslingermars caught her husband cheating on her while she was six months pregnant. She discovered that her husband had a social media account she was unaware of.
On that account, he was posting ads in search of local women to sleep with him. He also posted pictures of his private parts on the internet for everyone to see.
Of course, she was extremely angry and confronted him. He denied everything and tried to tell her that the photos were not of him.
They spent a long, horrible night fighting about it until she decided she was done. The next morning, she told him to leave. She then went to the doctor to get tested for STDs and found out that she had herpes while six months pregnant.
Meanwhile, her husband created multiple social media accounts to keep track of her and made nasty comments on her videos. He ended up getting a girlfriend two weeks after she kicked him out. Then, he got his new girlfriend pregnant before she even gave birth to their daughter.
“We go through the year, and there’s a lot of ups and downs,” stated @inkslingermars. “Police get involved in certain situations with him, and a year later, I’m thriving.”
“I’m doing great. I’ve built a beautiful home for me and my daughter. I have 100% physical sole custody of my daughter. He has met her twice. That’s it.”
She has now found peace as a single mom and loves coming home to a house of love. In her video, she’s sharing a message with other women to leave unhealthy relationships, especially if their partners are cheating on them.
It won’t be easy, and there will be many days when you’ll doubt yourself, but you must think about what’s best for yourself and your kids (if you have them) in the long run.

“There’s a million and one reasons to stay; I went through every single one of them,” she said. “But a year later, I’m so thankful that I left when I did.”
Many women in the comments section praised her for finding the strength and the courage to leave. They also shared their own stories about leaving toxic relationships.
“I found my peace three years ago after 12 years of being married to a cheating narcissist. I have two children with him, who he doesn’t care to see or talk to, who are six and 12. It’s sad they are growing up without their dad, but the peace we feel as a collective group is something I wouldn’t trade for the world,” commented one woman.
“I was with my ex for almost three years. He also had a burner account where he was hitting up local girls…I’m so thankful to have gotten away from someone who continually lied to me, and it turns out, manipulated me pretty badly! So glad you and your girls are thriving!” exclaimed another.
“After eight years of being a stay-at-home mom and relying on my husband, I walked in on him with an 18-year-old, packed up, and filed for divorce the next day. Now five years later, I’m married to the most amazing man I’ve ever met. Life is so much better now,” wrote a third.
