Discovering your partner has been having an affair is devastating but one woman has revealed how her husband tried to blame her for the mess after she took matters into her own hands
A woman has revealed that after discovering her husband had been having a full-blown affair for three years, she decided to reach out to the partner of his mistress to let him know what was going on.
Sharing the sad story on social media, she explained that she and her husband had been going through a lot of issues but after starting therapy things seemed to get better. However, after coming across messages between him and another woman, she was stunned to learn his change of attitude was actually thanks to his mistress.
She wrote: “He would tell her his woes and she would listen, 99 out of 100 times she sided with me. She taught him about intimacy and how important it is in marriages. The tragically funny part is that he never got angry or offended by her telling him off.
“Calling him silly, stubborn or at times man baby. Her honesty was brutal and yet he agreed with her. She was the one suggesting all the changes and he would ask her for advice about gifts, traveling and all the beautiful things he did for our family.”

The 35-year-old woman, who shares two young children with her husband, was naturally devastated and decided she wanted to blow up their affair by exposing it to his mistress’s husband. But things didn’t go to plan.
She revealed everything to the other woman’s husband but he refused to believe her, however, she eventually sent him a screen recording of all the messages to prove it. She wrote: “He didn’t answer me the first day then he called me the c-word and blocked me. I thought well then, I have done my part and it’s on him if he believed me or not.
“Then after a week my husband came home angry and he yelled at me for exposing them. He asked me why I didn’t confront him instead, my problem was with him. I have never seen him yell like this then he packed a bag and left for about a week. I think he traveled to her.
“When he got home he said that it was over. He said that he has been trying to make me happy for years and he’s done everything a good husband would do but still, nothing was good enough for me. I’ve made him miserable for years and instead of taking it out on him, I chose to hurt a woman and her child.
“He moved to his parents’ house and now he’s renting an apartment. I have heard that he travels the weeks he doesn’t have the children to be with her and that she’s moving here soon when she gets full custody of her child.
“I have not been feeling well at all. He has never spoken to me directly since he left and I haven’t seen him. He adamantly refuses to talk to me. Like I never existed in his life. I don’t know what I have done to deserve this treatment. I hate that they won.”
The devastating story was met with sympathy from people reading the Reddit story. One person consoled: “The last 3 years of your marriage were a lie. You know that now. Who he is the person he treated you before his affair partner had to convince him to be good to you. He is not a good person.

“Do they even really know each other? Like how it is to be around each other on a daily basis. They are genuinely dumb to think the list will stay with 3 kids around plus handling chores and day to day things of life. They have 2 custody battles ahead of them and divorced on top of it.
“If he’s angry with you the next time you have to see him, ask him why? He got what he wanted. He wanted to be with her and now he is. So why is he angry that you gave him what you wanted.
“It’s probably shame that he’s painted to be a cheater. Not he can’t manipulate the narrative and paint you as the bad person. If what they won is each other? Let them have each other. They are both awful people so they deserve each other”
