A woman named Monica, who is 33 years old, wrote an emotional letter in which she told her absolutely crazy family story. The woman and her husband are married in view of everyone else, which is fine with both of them. Each spouse didn’t expect the other to get pregnant, which is one thing that happened after they agreed to have an open relationship. The woman wants to know what she should do because the couple is having a hard time dealing with the effects of their strange relationship.
With their open marriage, Monica and her husband were very happy.
Monica, 33, wrote a letter and told our readers her story so that they could give her some advice about her very difficult family situation.
“I have an open relationship with my beloved husband, Todd,” the woman began her letter. We’ve been married for five years, and for the past two years, we’ve had an open marriage. It makes us both happy because this kind of relationship helps us keep our relationships feeling new.
I don’t think I liked this idea very much when Todd first brought it up. I thought about it for a long time, but in the end, I decided that an open marriage had more pros than cons. We’re not jealous of each other, but we do value honesty in all forms of communication. We knew from the start that this arrangement would only last for a short time. We agreed that we would return to a traditional marriage as soon as one of us feels uncomfortable with an open relationship.
Monica looked like she was in a really awkward situation.
“Everything was fine between us,” Monica says next in her story. I started going out with another guy in December of last year. We hit it off right away and went on regular dates. Even though my husband was seeing someone else, we were still in love with each other. I found out I was pregnant with twins last month. They are the babies of my second partner.
“I forgot to say that I was on birth control.” To be honest, I didn’t expect such a turn. It took me a while to figure out what to say to my husband. Todd was very supportive at first. He even told her, “I love you honey, and these babies are a part of you, so I will love them with all my heart, too.”
It made me so happy to see how he responded! I should also say that I had a lot of health problems during this time, mostly with my reproductive system. I was told it would be hard for me to get pregnant, so this was a real chance for me to become a mom, and I was excited about it.
Things in the family are only getting worse.
“Recently, my husband changed his mind about the babies after realizing that the father wasn’t just going to leave the kids,” Monica said. Todd said it was fine as long as the twins’ biological father would not be a part of their lives. To give you some background, my husband’s mother had him when she was a teenager. He has been raised by a stepfather his whole life and doesn’t get along with his biological father.
The woman also said, “Todd had a stepdad, but he always wanted his real dad to be more important than his stepdad.” I don’t get how he can’t relate to what’s going on and expect the kids to not want anything to do with their real dad.
There is a big fight in the family right now, and the woman is desperate.
“Todd just planted the seed that with these kids in our lives we will never be happy,” Monica said. He left me a letter at 3 a.m. yesterday before going on a business trip. It said, “I have to choose, either the babies or divorce.”
Monica told him, “I’m torn because what if this is the only chance I get to have kids?” I hadn’t been able to get pregnant in years, and I’m afraid it will never happen again. This is the thing that has made things so hard for me. I really need help because I can’t decide how to live with Todd and have babies at the same time.
