Imagine spending loads of money on IVF, only to find out that your husband was building a family with someone else behind your back.
While her marriage is over, the drama has just kicked off. If you’ve ever been treated like you should get over it by the person who ruined your life, this story of a messy business tie and a truly audacious ex-husband is for you.
This 42-year-old woman spent over 15 years with her husband before she sadly pieced together that he was having an affair for at least 5 of those years.
Her husband swore that he didn’t recall when he began the affair, but she highly doubts that, and it’s not like she will ever get the whole truth out of him.
Anyway, her husband got his affair partner pregnant, and this girl threatened her husband by saying she would out him if he didn’t own up to his infidelity.
Her husband came to her with a lie about how he had a one-night stand, and she was able to figure out that it was an affair he had carried out for years.
“So he told me some lie about how it was a one-time thing, and I dug up the info that it was a multi-year affair with talk of marriage and happily ever after and so on,” she explained.
“Meanwhile, he and I were spending tens of thousands of dollars on IVF trying to get pregnant…a story his other girlfriend apparently knew, and figured would break us up, leaving him free for their dream life to commence.”
“She was right, but instead of the true love she was hoping for, he broke up with her immediately. He has partial custody of the kid and pays support, and she’s gone on a campaign to make my life miserable, suddenly showing up with the kid in places where I am (and he isn’t), spreading this whole sordid springer-esque story around in a way that somehow makes her the victim (to be clear, she knew about me, I didn’t know about her, even though she was in our social circle).”

She’s been best friends with her now ex-husband since they were back in high school. Before they started dating, they opened up a store with one another.
They still own the store, meaning they can’t avoid spending time together. They literally have to see one another in person in order to run their business.
Recently, her ex has said he wants her to be a part of his affair child’s life. He intends to bring his kid to their store and have her hang out with the child.
“…He says, we’re still in each other’s lives, and the kid is an important part of his, and it’s not the kid’s fault, etc. I don’t think that this child will lose anything by not knowing me…and knowing IT is just a constant reminder that my ex gave away the life that he and I were supposed to have,” she continued.
“Now I’m too old to have children, so it feels like that even if he didn’t get EVERYTHING he wanted, he got more than he gave me…so I continue to insist that he keep his [kid] away from me and that I have no desire to ever, ever meet it.”
She’s left wondering if she’s the jerk.
Her ex is trying to make her into his new babysitter! Her anger is displaced, as it should be directed at her ex and not the innocent child he helped bring into the world.
Since she’s so angry and bitter, she should tell her ex to buy her out of her share of the store, or she should buy him out, so she can move on with her life and not have to deal with him.
She definitely needs therapy and space apart from her ex.
