Discovering infidelity is a terrible blow to anyone, but what happens when it involves your best friend and you’re six months pregnant? That’s the heart-wrenching situation a brave woman found herself in, and she turned to Reddit to share her heartbreaking story.
A Shocking Revelation
One ordinary morning, as she cared for her sick three-year-old, this woman came across her husband’s phone alarm. Thinking she was being helpful, she turned it off for him. Little did she know, this simple act would lead to a shocking revelation.

On the screen was a message from her best friend, exposing a secret affair. The message said, “I’m assuming since there hasn’t been an angry pregnant lady on my doorstep, you haven’t told her about us yet?”
Uncovering the Betrayal
In a state of disbelief, she couldn’t resist the urge to dig deeper into the extent of their betrayal. Taking her husband’s phone, she began reading through their conversations and discovered that the affair had been going on for an unbelievable four months. The pain and anguish she felt in that moment were beyond words.
The Confusion and Burden
Unlike some people who might know exactly how to handle such a situation, this woman admits that she didn’t have a clear path forward. For the first couple of days after finding out, she decided to keep a brave face and act like nothing had happened. She continued being a supportive wife, asking her husband about his day, and shielded their children from the turmoil.

The confusion deepened as she realized that both her husband and best friend had never shown any signs of affection or given her a reason to suspect their affair. Adding to her burden, she was also dealing with the recent loss of her father. It was a difficult emotional rollercoaster that she hoped to delay confronting her husband about, even if only for one more peaceful day.
Finding Strength and Support
In her determination to move forward, she made a vow to completely cut her former best friend out of her life without even considering an explanation for the betrayal. She firmly said, “After today, I will cut her out of my life like she never mattered at all.” The mother of three received an outpouring of support from fellow Reddit users who admired her strength but advised against trying to salvage the relationship with her unfaithful husband.
Soon after, she provided an update on her situation. She revealed that she had shared the heartbreaking news with her mother-in-law and her former best friend’s mother. With nothing more to say, she showed them screenshots of the conversations that exposed the affair.
A Powerful Support Network
Shocked and devastated by what they learned, both her in-laws and her ex-best friend’s family immediately took her side. They offered heartfelt apologies, embracing her as they cried together. In her fury, the mother-in-law even disowned her own son, assuring the Reddit user that she would always have her support. She declared, “No matter what happens, I will always have her, and as far as she’s concerned, she doesn’t have a son, only a daughter.”

Moving Forward
Initially hesitant about leaving her husband, the Reddit user sought legal advice and began the process of divorcing him. She found a reliable attorney who was ready to fight for her rights. The lawyer assured her that her husband would not be entitled to her late father’s inheritance. When her husband returned home to find that his wife and children had moved out, he lashed out in anger, causing damage at her late father’s home, resulting in his arrest.
The Importance of Support and Resilience
This heart-wrenching story serves as a painful reminder of the betrayal that can occur within the closest of relationships. It highlights the significance of finding support during difficult times and standing strong in the face of adversity.
