Under the surface of a family that seems happy, a storm of betrayal is building. A man who is having a hard time with his life finds out his wife’s dark secret. What happens next is a story of broken hearts, broken family ties, and the search for forgiveness after lying.
We’ve been married for eight years. We look like a happy couple because we have two kids. But I just found out that she’s been cheating on me with my brother.
At first, there were small signs that I thought were just stress or too much thinking. Then I noticed she was acting very secretively. She was hiding texts, staying out late, and even having mood swings that I at first thought were caused by stress at work. When I finally told her, she first denied having an affair with my brother for more than a year. Then she admitted it. She told me it was her mistake and that she wanted to make things right. I was heartbroken.
This is where things get tricky. My brother is married and has three kids. The families of both of us are close, and we see each other a lot at family events. I was so mad that I chose to talk to them both at our last family dinner.
Someone did something bad behind our backs, and I told everyone about it. An awful lot of people were upset about it, and my sister-in-law was crying. It was like a bomb went off, and I don’t think our family will be able to get over it.
Now my wife tells me I was too angry and that I shouldn’t have made everyone look bad like that. That’s what she and my brother both say: we could have handled it privately. But I needed everyone to know the truth because I thought that keeping it from them would let them keep lying.
