She finally met her ex-fiance and learned that it all started when he was 17, and the shocked poster just couldn’t forgive the guy or her mom for their actions

Buckle up, folks, because today’s story is full of unbelievable theatrics and drips with drama. The original poster (OP) tells us that she has a twin sister and a brother, but their dad left them because he couldn’t handle so many kids. Sadly, the three blamed OP for this all her life, and they never treated her like family, oftentimes even neglecting her completely.

She left home as soon as she turned 18, started working as a part-time student, and lived with her boyfriend a few states away. She paid for the apartment, and they were living a happy life, with no contact from her family. When they were 21, the couple decided to tie the knot, and her brother found out about it. The family self-invited themselves, and OP agreed but set a few ground rules.

Obviously, they broke them, and her sister created a scene by getting into a fight with OP’s fiancé for “cheating on her.” Much to the poster’s horror, she learned that the guy had had an affair, not with her twin, but with her 43-year-old mother when he was 18 years old! She ditched the wedding immediately, but people kept calling her to tell her not to dwell on the past.

After a lot of netizens claimed that her mom might have groomed her boyfriend as a teen, she agreed to meet him, and he was a mess. He explained how it started when he was just 17, but then her mom started getting “touchy” with him. OP couldn’t believe how, despite all this, he had agreed to invite them to the wedding, and refused to forgive him for everything, even when he begged her.

That was quite a harrowing experience, and I can’t even begin to imagine how shattered the poster must have felt. First of all, her whole family was awful to her while growing up. Research suggests that childhood neglect can have a profound impact on a person, affecting their emotional, psychological, and social well-being in various ways that can last into adulthood.

Moreover, studies show that when a person grows up in a toxic family, it can rob them of many things, including their self-worth and ability to trust others. Despite all this, the poster truly loved her boyfriend, so finding out about his infidelity must have felt like double betrayal for her. Experts warn that learning about a partner’s affair can be emotionally devastating.

In fact, they have even coined a term for it, post-infidelity stress disorder, as it can have similar effects to PTSD. As if knowing he cheated wasn’t enough, the fact that he did it with her own mother must have been an absolute shocker for her. Hell, it would be too much for anyone to handle. No wonder she decided to run and get as far away from those toxic folks as possible.

What was more annoying was how people pushed her to just let it go since it “happened in the past” and her ex “still loved her.” I mean, give her some time to at least digest the whole thing! Netizens said that she shouldn’t forgive either of them, and frankly, I agree. What would you do if you were in her shoes? We would love to hear your thoughts, so drop them in the comments below!
