Pregnant Wife Sees Best Friend’s Message on Husband’s Phone: ‘You Haven’t Told Her about Us?’

• An anonymous Reddit user discovered her husband cheated with her best friend.
• The woman was six months pregnant when she discovered the heartbreaking news.
• Fortunately, her in-laws took her side.

An anonymous Reddit user shared a heartbreaking story about her family. The woman had been dating her husband since she was 19, and he 22.

They were married for six years with two kids and one on the way. Even though she was excited about expanding her family, she also discovered that his father, the only parent she had left, had been diagnosed with colon cancer.

She hoped her father would beat the cancer but later found out he was not reacting to the treatment and only had months to live.

She had her husband’s support through this challenging time of watching her father’s health and memory deteriorate. “My husband has been my absolute rock. He has been there for me holding my hand and helping me through this. He’s been so loving and attentive to both my kids and me.” wrote the Reddit user.

Despite how difficult things had been for her, the mother of three reiterated that she did not let any of her hardships get in between her and her children. She was still a present mother and gave her children all the attention they needed.

She was also a great wife and did not slack in any of the work she usually did around the house; in addition to her husband, the anonymous Reddit user also had the support of her childhood best friend.

”My best friend and I have been friends since diapers. Her family is like my family and vice versa,” she explained. So, it was no surprise that her best friend was her shoulder to cry on during her father’s cancer battle.

One morning, the wife was up with her sick three-year-old when one of her husband’s alarms went off. He usually set a few of them before waking up. So, she took the liberty to switch it off.

When she leaned over the phone, she saw a text from her best friend that read, “I’m assuming since there hasn’t been an angry pregnant lady on my doorstep, you haven’t told her about us yet?”

She could not believe her eyes, but she wanted to get to the bottom of it. She took his phone to read their conversations and found out her husband had been cheating with her childhood best friend for four months.

Unlike some people who would know exactly what to do in such a situation, the anonymous writer confessed that she did not know a way forward.

For the first couple of days after finding out, she pretended nothing happened. She continued to be a supportive wife asking her husband about his day. Again, she did not let her children suspect anything.

But what was more confusing was how both her husband and best friend never displayed any signs of affection or gave her a reason to question them. Amid this emotional turmoil, the mother could not wrap her head around losing her father and watching her family fall apart.

She postponed telling her husband to at least live through one peaceful day before it all came crashing down. As for her best friend, she vowed never to speak to her again and did not even care to hear the reason behind such a betrayal. “After today, I will cut her out of my life like she never mattered at all.” wrote the hurt wife.

The mother of three received a lot of support from commenters. One other Reddit user commended how strong she was in pretending but emphasized that they would not advise her to stay and try to work things out with her husband.

The anonymous user gave her readers an update. She revealed that she broke the news to her mother-in-law and her ex-best friend’s mother. Without trying to explain the story, she just handed out screenshots of the conversation between her husband and ex-best friend.

Her in-laws and her ex-best friend’s family were shocked at what had been done to her. They immediately took her side and apologized profusely while they all hugged and cried together.

Her mother-in-law was so furious that she was ready to write her son off. “That no matter what happens, I will always have her, and as far as she’s concerned, she doesn’t have a son, only a daughter,” wrote the mother of three.

Even though she had been skeptical about leaving her husband, she contacted a lawyer and started drafting her divorce settlement. She said she got a good lawyer that was ready to fight for her.

The lawyer clarified that her husband would not get her father’s inheritance. The mother of three has yet to confront her husband about everything but wants to focus on starting a new chapter with her children.

Everyone in the comments also praised her in-laws for being supportive and taking her side. Most were in awe of how well the Reddit user handled such a painful situation.

One of the commenters wrote, “The fact that you have the unequivocal support of the families of the people who betrayed you is touching. Often families side with the betrayer if they are family and not the betrayed. Morality is one of the rare things that can trump family.”

Those glued to the story are patiently waiting for her to come back with an update on how her husband reacted to her confrontation. Here is another story about a husband that was found cheating.
