Guy Left In Shambles After Wife's Infidelity Reveals A Dark Side Of His Mom, Drama Ensues

When it comes to times of strife, people hope their family will be in their corner, but this unfortunately doesn’t always happen

The poster explained that his wife of 7 years got very drunk one evening, and when he went to check on her, he saw inappropriate messages she had sent to a friend of his

When the man realized that his wife was willing to cheat on him, he skipped work because he was heartbroken, and sat with a bottle of alcohol at the railway near his home

The poster felt glad that he and his wife were living in his parents' home, because he planned to divorce her and kick her out of the place as soon as possible

Eventually, the man reached out to a friend for moral support and calmed down once he went to his house and talked to him about the situation

When the poster finally went home, he was extremely tired, and as soon as his wife asked him where he was, he revealed that he knew all about her flirty messages

Even though the woman made a lot of excuses, the man said he wanted a divorce and told her to be out of the house in a month, but he was shocked when his mom later took her side

Twenty days after the confrontation with his wife, the man drew up a divorce petition with his lawyer and removed 50% of the balance from their shared bank account

The poster ended up exposing his friend and pitted all their buddies against him; he also suggested his wife take a lie detector test, and she initially agreed but then chickened out

Unfortunately, the man’s parents refused to take his side, and his mom, who had a stillborn child, was overly connected to his wife and wanted him to work things out with her

Since the poster’s parents were not budging on their support for his wife, he eventually moved out of his home and into his friend’s place for a while

Even though the man was heartbroken about his wife’s infidelity and his parents’ lack of support, he felt his life opening up, and like he could travel more in the future

Seven months later, the man posted an update about how his wife was rejecting his plea for divorce, and how his mom had gotten into an accident and called him to the hospital

The poster’s mother had a terrible fall and got badly injured, so after that experience she wanted to mend things with her son, which is why she had called him

Unfortunately, when the poster asked his parents if they were still siding with his wife, they tried to convince him to let his anger go and to stop the divorce proceedings

Eventually, the man’s wife signed the divorce papers as she was sad that he hadn’t been able to move on due to her, but the poster’s parents still hadn’t changed their minds

The man felt that he was holding onto a lot of resentment toward his wife and family, but once he started therapy, he received a lot of good advice that made him hopeful for the future

When the man made a post a year later, he shared how sad he felt when he saw his ex-wife in public one day, and angry when a friend revealed that she had been unfaithful long ago

The poster also lamented the distance between him and his parents, and how he wished they had handled things differently

The man advised people to never take a cheater back, and shared how he had moved on, and didn’t want to return to someone who could hurt him so much

Overall, the poster shared how much better he felt writing his thoughts down, and that after all was said and done, he felt like a much stronger person

The man was also glad that when he had first found out about his wife’s betrayal, he hadn’t given in to anger and had just gotten drunk to cope

Some folks shared their own similar experiences, and were glad that the man was able to escape from his ex and learn where his parents’ loyalty lay
