During My Pregnancy, I Discovered My Husband Was Cheating and He Got What He Deserved

Our reader Kate shared her story with us. She discovered her husband’s infidelity while she was eight months pregnant. Instead of sinking into despair, she made a firm decision and took action to teach the unfaithful partner a lesson.

Kate wrote to our editorial to release her soul.

At eight months pregnant, she discovered the heart-wrenching truth—her husband, whom she had trusted implicitly, had been unfaithful. The proof was on his phone, and he had even planned to leave her after the baby was born.

At first, she was overwhelmed by devastation. How could he betray her, their child, and the future they had dreamed of together? She spent days in a daze, grappling with the betrayal. But then, something shifted within her. She resolved not to let him get away with it. Kate was determined to reclaim her power and dignity.

She consulted a lawyer first.

Kate meticulously collected all the evidence of his infidelity and stored it securely, knowing it would be crucial for her next steps. One evening, she confronted him, keeping a facade of normalcy until the moment was right. Then, she presented the evidence. He tried to deny it, but the proof was irrefutable. He broke down, pleading for forgiveness, but she was resolute in her decision.

Determined to hit him where it would hurt the most—his reputation and finances—she sought the help of a top-notch lawyer. Her lawyer expertly guided her through filing for divorce on the grounds of adultery, presenting all the evidence, and ensuring she received a substantial portion of his assets along with full custody of their child.

She sent a letter to his HR department.

But Kate didn’t stop there. Knowing that his affair partner worked at the same company, she anonymously sent the evidence to their HR department. Within days, both were called in for meetings. The affair partner was fired for violating company policy, and he received a severe reprimand that put his job in jeopardy.

Kate also ensured that their friends and family were aware of the truth, preventing him from fabricating a story about the end of their marriage. At a small gathering, she calmly recounted what had happened. The support she received was overwhelming, and he soon found himself shunned by their social circle.

He wasn’t allowed to see the baby.

Throughout this period, Kate prioritized her well-being and prepared for her baby’s arrival. She attended prenatal classes, joined support groups for single mothers, and surrounded herself with a strong network of friends and family. By the time her baby was born, she felt both empowered and ready for the future.

She recounted, “My revenge unfolded step by step. When I went into labor, my brother and closest friends were by my side. During delivery, my ex-husband had the nerve to appear at the hospital, hoping to reinsert himself into my life at such a critical moment. My brother stepped in and made it clear he was not welcome and would not see the baby because of his betrayal.” As a result, her ex-husband left the hospital without ever meeting his newborn child.

He wanted to reunite.

Later, he tried to make amends, but it was too late. Kate had moved on, determined to build a joyful life for herself and her child without him. Her pursuit of justice wasn’t merely about revenge; it was about reclaiming her life and dignity. It was about showing both him and herself that she was stronger than he ever believed.

As she held her baby close, Kate was confident that they would be just fine.

Here’s what our readers think about this situation.

• Good for you, you acted bravely. Stand on your own and be responsible for your child you can’t depend on this weak deceitful man. You are better off without him. © Aida Mahran / Facebook
• I understand. She is right about what she did, but the child needs to know and see his/her father is not fair to the baby. The problem is between the parents. I don’t understand why the company fired the girl he went out with, and he’s still working, the policy is for 2 of them, no for her only. I hope the girl sues the company. © Rosa Elena Cas Cac / Facebook
• Yes, he cheated on her. But their child still needs dad in their life. I hope that will happen in time. © Ssuzi Helen / Facebook
