'My husband has been sleeping with my mum for 22 years and fathered my brothers'
A pregnant woman has bravely shared the traumatic moment her life was shattered upon discovering her husband's infidelity - which cuts far deeper due to the unimaginable circumstances. Not only did she learn of his betrayal, but she also found out that her own mother was his mistress, making the pain even more unbearable. This illicit affair has shockingly been ongoing for 22 years, encompassing the entirety of her marriage, leaving her reeling in devastation, reports the Mirror. The situation worsens as it transpires that some of her siblings are, in fact, her husband's biological children, adding another layer of complexity to the family dynamics. Seven months into her pregnancy, the 40-year-old took to Reddit to recount her heart-wrenching story, laying bare the emotional turmoil she's currently navigating. In a disturbing turn of events, her mother is now shifting the blame, accusing her of "ruining her life" by bringing the truth to light. Outlining the family background, the expectant mother wrote: "I'm 40 years old. My parents - dad, 63, and mum, 60 - have been married for 43 years. I have six siblings. My husband, 39, and I have been together since we were 15. "I fell pregnant at 17 and we moved in with my parents. I gave birth to my now 22 year old daughter. We tied the knot at 18 shortly after. My grandfather passed away soon after our wedding and left his ranch-style house to my father. My grandparents had built a house next door to my parents when they retired. My parents decided to let us live in this house and told us this would be my inheritance. My husband and I were perfectly fine with this. We went on to have a 20 year old, a 14 year old, and a five year old, and I'm currently seven months pregnant with my final child, a boy, due in April." After painting a picture of their tight-knit family and seemingly idyllic family life, she then drops the bombshell about discovering the affair between her husband and mother. She writes: "I thought I had a good marriage, we were intimate more than twice a week, we went on date nights, we bought each other gifts, we didn't fight. My entire world was shattered on New Year's Eve when I returned early from a girl's trip I had taken with some friends. I walked into my bedroom to find my mum having sex with my husband. My mother screamed at me to get out of "their" bedroom which really shook me up even more." A wife was left shocked after discovering that her husband had been having an ongoing affair with her mother, and not just a one-time slip-up. "I asked him for the truth. He told me that my mum seduced him when we were 18 and living in their house. They'd been having unprotected sex at least once a month for longer than we were married," she disclosed. Further calculations led her to a disturbing realisation about the paternity of her siblings: "I ran the math and was horrified because the timeline meant my twin brothers and youngest brother could be my husband's." Upon breaking the news to her father, who had believed his marriage to be faithful, the situation became intensely emotional. "I made my husband confess and my dad was devastated, he and my mum were high school sweethearts too. Needless to say, we could hear my mother screaming from her house when he confronted her." The drama culminated at a family event orchestrated by the betrayed wife, turning it into a dramatic reveal. "At the party, I had my 22 F daughter take all the kids to our basement and put on a movie, leaving only the adult children and siblings, and I told them exactly what they'd been doing," she detailed. In the aftermath, while many relatives sided with her, not everyone agreed with how she handled the reveal. "Most of the family is on my side, except my 3 youngest siblings, 38 F sister, Ex's entire family. They all say I'm an AH for dropping this publicly." The situation took an even more distressing turn for the woman who posted her story online as she disclosed that the controversy led to her mother being dismissed from her job as a children's pastor due to her infidelity. She detailed: "My mum has since been let go as the children's pastor there and she claims I've essentially ruined her reputation and life." She went on to describe the extensive consequences this event had on her family life, including her imminent divorce and damaged relationship with her mother. She recounted: "I'm now over a month removed, still extremely bitter and angry at my mother, especially at her hypocrisy of calling me a w**** and shaming my family, when she's done much worse. I also despise my ex with everything within me now, as he was f****** both my mum and me in some instances coming to our bed minutes later. He got my mother pregnant less than a week after getting me pregnant and while I thought it was so cute and fun that I shared a pregnancy experience with my mum, she was carrying my children's half-siblings. He has broken all trust I had in men and being faithful." Redditors came to the original poster's defense, with one commenter saying: "Good on you for not literally stabbing your husband. I wouldn't be as strong." Another user chimed in: "You need to change this title from "I ruined my mum's life and reputation" to. "My mum destroyed our family, and at the same time ruined her own life and reputation".. You did absolutely nothing wrong, and you are a victim, just as much as everyone else in your family who was hurt by this.." A third commenter suggested a corrected title: "'My mum ruined her life' There I fixed it for you."
