An anonymous Reddit user discovered her husband cheated with her best friend. The woman was six months pregnant when she learned of the heartbreaking news.

One morning, OP was up with her sick three-year-old when her husband’s alarm went off. He usually set a few of them before waking up and she took the liberty to switch it off.

When she leaned over the phone, she saw a text from her best friend that read, “I’m assuming since there hasn’t been an angry pregnant lady on my doorstep, you haven’t told her about us yet?”

She could not believe her eyes, but she wanted to get to the bottom of it, so she took his phone to read their conversations and found out her husband had been cheating with her childhood best friend for four months.

The OP made a decision to handle the situation in the best way she knew how.

Unlike some people who would know exactly what to do in such a situation, the anonymous Reddit writer confessed that she did not know a way forward. For the first couple of days after finding out, she pretended nothing happened. She continued to be a supportive wife, asking her husband about his day.

OP also kept her children from suspecting anything. But what was more confusing was how both her husband and best friend never displayed any signs of affection or gave her a reason to suspect they were having an affair. Amid this emotional turmoil, the mother could not wrap her head around losing her father and watching her family fall apart. She postponed telling her husband to at least live through one peaceful day before it all came crashing down.

As for her best friend, she vowed never to speak to her again and did not even care to hear the reason behind her betrayal. “After today, I will cut her out of my life like she never mattered at all,” she resolved. The mother of three received a lot of support from commenters. One Reddit user commended her for staying strong but emphasized that they would not advise her to stay and try to work things out with her husband.
