In marriage, there could come a point when the once-blissful union is tainted by the bitter shadow of infidelity. At this juncture, we face the tough choice of deciding what to do next.

Our narrator (Original Poster) had been married to her husband for seven years. They’d seen their fair share of highs and lows, but they loved each other.

When they welcomed their little bundle of joy, they decided that OP put a hold on her degree to become a stay-at-home mom. Her husband promised to pull all the financial weight. It was a commendable choice, but their relationship's foundation was far from solid. 

OP's husband wasn’t the knight in shining armor he appeared to be. Hidden beneath the surface were narcissistic tendencies that suddenly began rearing their ugly heads again. 

He confessed to texting other women and blamed OP for not being sexy enough. This wouldn’t be the first time he pressured her to improve her appearance to meet his standards. 

She had already embarked on a self-improvement journey to make him happy; she was a hot mom and worked out five times a week - what more did he want?

Suddenly, OP stumbled upon a series of incriminating messages with women on different dating platforms. She took screenshots and sent them to herself, ready to confront him.

Her heart ached for their two-year-old child, but the deception had crossed a line that couldn't be ignored. 

Her husband was her first love, and this won’t be easy. Now, OP seeks guidance on how best to handle the situation.

Let’s dig into the details

A little background

OP discovered that her husband has been texting other women on Tinder and Telegram

Here’s how the Reddit community reacted to the story:

“Cheaters rarely change. File for divorce.”

“Honestly just file for divorce. Why does there need to be an argument with everything.”

“Get a good lawyer and start living you best life. There is no reason to settle.”

“Leave him, its the best thing you can do for yourself and your child.”

“You need to go buy him a flip phone - that’s all he should have.”

“You speak to a lawyer show him the evidence then confront your husband tell him to leave.”

“He doesn't care about you so just cut your losses and leave.”

“This is him not respecting you or your marriage & nothing you do is likely going to change that.”

“He wanted you to be a SAHM so he could control you. Fix it so you are no longer dependent.“

“You deserve to be happy. Do not spend any more time or energy on this man.“

Important update

As we unveiled deeper layers of this story, it became apparent that OP's husband ensnared her into financial dependence to assert control. 

The verdict from Redditors was clear: file for divorce, demand child support and alimony. Cheaters never change, and the relationship was riddled with red flags.

OP is still young and sure to get her life back on track in no time, and we wish her the very best.
