Caught between the devastation of infidelity and the weight of impending motherhood, she faces a heartbreaking choice. The man who once promised forever now pleads for forgiveness, but she knows that some wounds run too deep, and the only way forward is to break free from the past and reclaim her own future.
I am 7+ weeks pregnant.
Friday like 4 am I got texts from her with screenshots of their affair and she wrote that I might wanna know and “happy fucking pregnancy”. I immediately woke him up and he started crying and apologizing and said that he swears to god it is over.
I don’t want this marriage now. I don’t recognize my husband. He is a stranger. We still hadn’t told our families that I am pregnant but now he told everyone to put pressure on me to stay.
And he has been crying and begging all weekend making me feel like I am the villain.
I told him we needed a clean cut so he could be with her and maybe he could have babies with her. But I don’t want to be tied to him once I am gone.
Conclusion
The original poster is experiencing profound shock and betrayal early in her pregnancy, leading her to immediately question the future of her marriage. Her husband’s immediate reaction, coupled with his subsequent public disclosure of the pregnancy to family to pressure her into staying, directly conflicts with her stated desire for separation and self-preservation.
Considering the immediate emotional devastation and the husband’s attempt to use the pregnancy disclosure as leverage, the central question remains: Is it ever justifiable for one partner to reveal significant personal news to extended family without consent specifically to manipulate the other partner into remaining in a compromised relationship?
Here’s how people reacted:
It’s a difficult time already, emotions flowing, pains, hot flashes, moodswings, often too uncomfortable to even want sex, cravings, weight gain, we are maturing & nesting, while they sadly stay the same (in my experience).
If he was already failing you, he ain’t gonna suddenly be a good partner, he’ll probably either start a new 1 or continue with her.
Stay on track, take care of it, & keep it moving babe.
Tell the family you miscarried, or that he’s lying to make everyone guilt you into staying (if you don’t want to say the truth, which it ain’t nobody’s business but yours.) Good luck.
No need to tie yourself to this man forever if you can walk away
I couldn’t possibly presume to know better than you about your own circumstances, needs, and desires.
Please just know that the right to make a choice about your own pregnancy is morally yours, unconditionally.
Congratulations your husband wins AH of the day.
I hope you make decisions that are best for you now and in the future. Like kicking that whiny little bitch to the curb.
The opening salvo in using the pregnancy (and, should it come to it, the child) against you in any way he can. Don’t let him. NTA.
NTAH
I’m sorry you are going through this.
End it girl. And move on.
