    He was so angry with her that he immediately broke off their wedding and refused to get back together, even when she begged for forgiveness

    In today’s story, we dive into the life of the original poster (OP) as he tells us how his ex ruined his second wedding. Well, his ex-wife had been cheating on him throughout their marriage, and their daughter and the kid she was pregnant with weren’t his. Although he loved the daughter, he didn’t want to pay child support, so he appealed in court and won, as his ex had committed paternity fraud.

    Anyway, after the divorce, she took her kids and moved in with her boyfriend, while OP also moved on with his life. He even met someone who had a 5-year-old son, and they were planning their future together. In fact, they got engaged after being together for three years. However, when his ex lost her boyfriend, his life turned upside down, just like hers.

    The couple only had $20,000 in savings, and the guy’s life insurance went to his parents, who saved it for the kids. OP’s ex quickly realized that she could no longer afford the life she was living, so she reached out to our guy. Obviously, he declined, so she showed up at his house, but he wasn’t there. Well, she started talking to his fiancée and recounted her sob story.

    Much to the poster’s horror, his fiancée sided with his ex! Also, she said she wasn’t sure if she wanted to marry him if he didn’t help the woman. That was it for OP because he immediately called off their wedding and kicked her out of his house. She and her parents kept begging for forgiveness, but the poster couldn’t forgive her after she had shown her true colors.

    A study has revealed that anywhere between 30% to 60% of people who have been cheated on experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, and PTSD after discovering their partner’s infidelity. This has come to be known as post-infidelity stress disorder (PISD). If a person has to go through all that, it’s highly likely that they wouldn’t forgive their partner even after years.

    Besides, stats show that the average household in the United States spends $61,334 a year on expenses. Moreover, 16% of spending is on transportation, an average of $9,826 a year. Food, including groceries and eating out, costs another $7,317 a year or $609.75 a month, while the average monthly cost for utilities is $370.16.

    Forget forgiveness; nobody would spend so much on someone who betrayed them to such an extent in the past. It was quite strange that his fiancée, who was well aware of the cheating, instantly jumped to the ex’s side. Folks online felt that she was considering her own situation, but she should still have been supportive of her fiancé, not his ex-wife. 

    Research emphasizes that cortisol is one of the body’s stress hormones that works with certain areas of the brain to influence mood, motivation, and behavior.  Feeling unsupported by your partner can lead to physical stress, as evidenced by higher levels of cortisol in the body. Well then, it seems like a good thing that the poster called off the wedding, right?

    What would you do in his shoes? Let us know in the comments below!

    Netizens couldn’t believe that his fiancée believed his ex-wife over him, which was a massive red flag on her behalf

    Agree with the reply from Panda Mime. OP certainly told on himself. Even if fiancee "fell" for a sob-story, is that a reason to end everything? She asked, she didn't force him to help his ex. And I agree that it's sus when people "love" a child and then cut it out easily because the DNA isn't right. We have seen other fathers here who responded differently. OP sounds like a "my way or the highway" guy, and that's not marriage material, that's a red flag. What if fiancee-then-wife has a different opinion later on? Would he have divorced her for that?

    OP sounds very reactionary. Based on what he stated, I think he got triggered and let his ex's actions lead him into a rash decision in his most recent relationship - not classifying it as right or wrong. Sounds like he needs therapy if he plans to have a healthy relationship in the future.

    Let's start and end with the fact that he loved his children until he found out they aren't biologically his, at which point he kicked them out and cut them off. Instant YTA. His (now ex) fiancee never should have dated him in the first place knowing that he did this - another instant YTA to her. And as for his original partner, an obvious instant YTA to her for being a cheater.
