Woman Overlooks Cheating Husband's Infidelity and Love Child, Only to Face New Struggles as MIL Tries to Push Her Aside

Relationships—and marriages in particular—are built on the pillars of friendship, loyalty, and trust. Once any one of the three factors is violated, the damage is irrevocable.  Contrary to popular perception, which holds that betrayal can be forgotten, the truth is that a broken heart never feels the same.

The story below is an account of a heartbroken wife. The original poster (OP) is expecting her first child with her husband. Even when everything appears to be going well for OP on the surface, the reality is far more nuanced and dynamic. To put things in perspective, OP's partner had an illicit relationship while they were engaged. OP chose to remain in the relationship and extend forgiveness to her partner. When OP was starting to believe that the affair was finally over because they were married and expecting their first child, the mistress got in touch with him to let him know that during their time together, they conceived a baby.

Having said that, if you're curious about the details of what happened and whether OP decided to stay in the marriage or end it in order to raise her child alone, be sure to read the story below!
