There’s absolutely nothing better than seeing cheaters get what’s coming to them. People who have affairs probably expect to get away with it, so when all their lies are revealed, it almost feels karmic. That’s exactly what happened to this cheating wife who tried to pin the blame on her husband.
The heartbroken man had already been through so much after learning about his wife’s affair and getting to know her baby wasn’t his. He finally snapped and told the world the full story.

His wife’s actions ruined the happy life that he thought he had
The 49-year-old poster had four kids with his 45-year-old wife. They had even planned not to have any more kids, but suddenly, right after he got a vasectomy, she shared that she was pregnant. At first, the man thought that she had sabotaged their birth control methods to baby-trap him. Later on, he found out that she was pregnant with an affair baby.
You might be shocked to learn that nearly 2-3% of children are born out of infidelity. In many cases, the man raising the child might not even suspect the kid isn’t biologically his. It’s only when their suspicions are raised that they might get a DNA test done and find out the truth.
The OP also learned the truth by taking a paternity test. That’s why he refused to be at the hospital when she was giving birth. When the baby was stillborn, he did not want to comfort her either. Unfortunately, the manipulative wife used these instances to spread misinformation about him and poison people’s minds.
But what the wife didn’t understand is that infidelity can be devastating for the victim. The person might grieve their relationship and struggle to deal with the information. They might want to have nothing to do with their cheating spouse or even try to work through the affair. Everyone deals with these situations differently.

The wife also didn’t want her husband to tell their children about her infidelity. But, since he was hurt, he believed that the kids needed to know the truth before his spouse tried to twist the narrative. When he told them, his daughter stopped speaking to her mom, and their second kid decided to live with him after the divorce.
Counselors state that it’s important for children not to be made into their parent’s confidante when it comes to affairs. This can affect the kids emotionally and even color how they view relationships in the future. Research has found that 75% of children feel betrayed by their cheating parents, and 70% say that it impacts how much they trust people.
In some cases where one partner has an affair, the victim might try and work things out. That’s why the OP’s wife’s lawyer was pushing for family counseling. She probably wanted to reconcile and even said her actions were a mistake. But the husband could not bring himself to forgive her and was only willing to do “civil co-parenting.”
When the unfaithful partner comes forward with the truth of their affairs and actually makes an effort to change, that can save their marriage. The problem is the poster’s wife only wanted to place the blame on him and not face the consequences of her actions. If she wasn’t up for taking responsibility, he shouldn’t be forced to work on their marriage either.

Netizens sided with the man and agreed that his wife should be vilified because she betrayed him in a big way
