A woman fell in love with a married man and thought their love could get them through anything, even if it meant taking his family apart. The choices she made have now come back to haunt her, and she wishes she had never gotten involved in the first place.
The woman was sure that she was picking the right things to do.
A 38-year-old woman wrote an emotional letter online. At first, she said, “I’m in a place where I feel lost.” Things in my life have changed without warning, and I wasn’t ready for my dreams to come crashing down. It sounds like a story, so I’m sorry this letter is so long, but I need to get this off my chest.
She said that she and her 54-year-old partner had been together for a long time and not just at the fair. “My partner and I met at a company-sponsored team-building event six years ago.” At the time, he was married and had two kids, 10 and 15. At that time, I didn’t have a family or kids, and I wasn’t dating anyone.
At first, they became close friends, which turned into romantic feelings over time. “He told me about his unhappy marriage and promised that he would leave his wife when their kids were a little older,” she said.
He told her things she believed, and she fell deeply in love with him. She was ready to wait for him to end his marriage. “After being together for two years, our affair was found out, and things were very hard for a while,” she said.
Things were moving along steadily after the breakup.
In the next part of her letter, the woman said that they decided to move in together and start over as a couple after their affair became public.
She wrote, “We were ready to start our own family.” “It’s understandable that his wife was devastated, but she chose not to tell the kids about their dad’s affair.” Because we cared about his family, we kept our relationship quiet for a year.
“It wasn’t until a year later that my partner showed me his kids,” she said. At first, it was hard for them to accept that their dad was seeing someone else, but we all got along in the end. We agreed to get married and bought a house together. We had a lot of visits from the kids, and everything seemed to be going smoothly. At least that’s what I thought.
The man’s ex-wife was having a hard time.
In her letter, the woman talked about how hard it was for her fiancé’s ex-wife after they broke up. It was hard for my fiancé’s ex-wife after he left, she said. “She worked part-time and was a stay-at-home mom. She had serious health problems and gained weight.” She was sad and feeling alone in a dark place.
The woman continued, “She called my fiancé a lot, sent him long emails and heartfelt texts, and begged for another chance to save their family.” “To see it was heartbreaking.” There were times when my fiancé felt bad about our relationship, but he always stuck by it. He told me that he had chosen me and that he was sorry for the hurt he caused her and the kids. He thought we should move forward and not look back.
As the woman who was cheated on started to feel better, the affair relationship began to end.
In her letter, the woman talked about an unexpected change in the behavior of her fiancé’s ex-wife. “She stopped reaching out directly out of the blue,” the woman said. “Instead, she asked my fiancé to use a parenting app to talk to her.” His oldest son told us that his mom wasn’t there when he went to get his younger brother. It made me feel better.
“Then we found out something we didn’t expect,” the woman said. “The youngest son of my fiancé talked about someone named “Uncle P” in a conversation.” It turned out to be one of my fiancé’s best friends who had stopped being friends with him after we told everyone about our affair. Since then, they hadn’t talked. Oh, it looked like “Uncle P” was dating my fiancé’s ex-wife now.
“At the same time, I found out I was pregnant,” the woman said. “My fiancé’s mood changed in a big way.” He looked stressed from work, especially since he had just switched jobs. He began getting home late because he was always on his phone. The way he was acting was nothing like how I was used to seeing him.
The situation was getting very dangerous.
In her moving story, the woman talked about a bad thing that happened only two months ago. She said, “I got a call from my partner. He was at the police station and needed me to pick him up.” It turned out that he had gone to his ex-wife’s house late at night and gotten into a fight with an old friend. He even said that his ex-wife was having an affair with his old best friend.
The woman went on, her voice full of worry, “My partner had a complete breakdown.” “I had never seen anything like it before.” He’s always been so calm, but all of a sudden, he seemed like a different person. He became obsessed with his ex-wife and would constantly check her social media and ask his family and children where she was.
Even though things were bad, the woman said that her partner had agreed to go to therapy and was now in treatment. She did say, though, that their relationship was still tense, even after their child was born.
She chose to leave him because it was the right thing to do.
She told him, “I feel like his heart and mind aren’t fully invested in our relationship anymore, and I’m thinking about leaving.” She also said, “I still have feelings for him,” which meant that making this choice wasn’t easy or quick. I clung to the hope that things would get better and our family would be happy again. But he’s so far away now and doesn’t seem to care about me or our child.
She slowly came to the conclusion that things could not go on like this, for her own health and the health of her child. “It hurts, but I need to leave and take care of myself.” I’ll fight to keep custody of my child, and I’ll do everything I can to keep things from going back to how they were with my husband’s ex-wife.
It can be very tiring to deal with things like this.
