Of course, she separated from him, but it made her realize how strangers from the internet helped her more than her own husband

Today’s story is quite dramatic, all thanks to the original poster’s (OP) husband and his bizarrely frustrating behavior. They had been married for six years and had a 3-year-old daughter (Elle). However, they both really enjoyed their individual time away with friends as well. That is why they set up a “YOLO weekend” deal.

Basically, both were allowed to take it once a year just to enjoy and go nuts without worrying about looking after Elle the next morning. Well, it was her husband’s turn, and he went on a fishing trip with his friends to a cabin about 30 minutes away. Unfortunately, tragedy struck, and OP’s sister got in a serious accident and ended up in the ICU.

Naturally, she called her husband and asked him to return, but to her surprise, he just refused. She must have been dumbstruck because it was the first time he’d ever done this. They had a major fight, and yet, he only returned the next day. At this point, OP was majorly pissed and lashed out against him, as she had barely slept for days. Probably frustrated, she vented online, seeking advice.

Netizens rushed to comfort her, but a few claimed that there was a possibility that her husband might be cheating. Much to her dismay, it turned out to be true, and that’s why he took so long to return, as he was convincing his friends to cover for him. Finally, one of them caved and confessed that he had been having an affair for a month!

Her sister’s recovery was probably the one good thing that might have helped the poster get through this. Sadly, data shows that men are more likely to cheat than women. About 20% of men and 13% of women have a physical relationship with someone other than their partner while still married, and OP’s cheater husband falls in this category.

It’s frustrating how these folks who have an affair barely ever care about the impact it can have on their spouse. Experts warn that infidelity can have devastating long-term effects on the person who is cheated on. However, did you know that there’s even a term for it, called Post-Infidelity Stress Disorder? The worst part is that it can have the same impact as PTSD.

It’s so sorrowful to think that she was barely managing the news about her sister when she was forced to deal with this as well. Many people pointed out that his friends who covered for him might be cheaters as well, and if you think about it, this could be true; we may never know.

They also wondered why he didn’t worry about Elle or his sister-in-law during such a situation, and his negligence also says a lot about him. Well, it’s a good thing that OP separated from him because research has shown that someone is three times more likely to cheat if they have cheated in the past. 

In her last update, she claimed that she was getting used to her new normal and only focusing on Elle and her sister. I hope she got the strength to overcome it. What about you? Let us know your thoughts on the story in the comments!

Netizens didn’t shy away from calling the cheater husband a ‘bad father and human’ for not having any empathy during a serious situation
