A horrified woman claims she’s been left navigating a truly traumatising ordeal after walking in on her husband cheating on her with his own stepsister – and she doesn’t know what to tell their parents
Discovering your spouse is cheating on you is a uniquely devastating experience, often destroying trust and understanding built up over many years of commitment.
For one scorned wife, however, her husband’s infidelity came with an additional traumatising layer, as the other woman in question was his own stepsister. According to this horrified woman, last Saturday she went out on a night out with a friend and had initially intended to stay over at her house afterwards.
Not wanting to spend the whole evening by himself, her husband Jack told her he was going to hang out with his stepsister Claire at a bar. The stepsiblings have always been ‘close’, and the 29-year-old thought nothing of it as she headed out to meet her pal.
At some point during the night, however, she started to feel unwell and realised she’d much rather sleep in her own bed, not her friends. Unfortunately, the sight that greeted her upon her surprise return home did nothing to quell her nausea…
Taking to Reddit, the shocked woman recalled: “I was feeling unwell and just wanted my bed, so I decided to get an Uber and head home. I was not expecting to walk in on them having sex on the couch. I literally threw up on the floor by the front door.
“They told me they were drunk and it just kinda happened. I screamed at them both to leave. Jack refused to leave and refused to sleep on the couch, so I ended up leaving anyway and went back to my friend’s. I am still in shock that he actually slept with Claire. I think I’m gonna file for a divorce. I am so overwhelmed and uncomfortable.”
To make matters more distressing, Jack and Claire have been in each other’s lives since early childhood, and have always told people they consider themselves to be ‘full siblings’. Left feeling utterly ‘alone and confused’, the heartbroken wife now has to grapple with whether or not to tell her in-laws the true reason for their split and has been isolating herself as she figures out the right approach to take.
One fellow Reddit user advised: “I’m guessing this wasn’t the first time. I’m sorry. Please don’t hesitate to tell people why you are divorcing so he doesn’t have the opportunity to paint you as the bad guy.”
Another commented: “Honey, you need to let his parents know why you’re getting a divorce and let everyone else know before they spin it on you. They’ve been sleeping together way before that night.”
