A woman has been left distraught and ended up in therapy after discovering her husband was having a secret affair with her mom for 22 years.
Explain her story on Reddit, the woman said she and her husband have been together for almost 39 years since they were both 15.
“I have been with my 39-year-old husband since we were 15. I got pregnant at 17, and we moved in with my parents,” she wrote.
After giving birth to their elder daughter, OP and her husband moved to her grandparents’ house, which was located right next to her parents’ house.
“My grandparents built a house next door to my parents when they retired,” she explained. “My parents decided to let us live in this house and told us this would be my inheritance. My husband and I had no issues with this. We went on to have [three more children], and I’m currently seven months pregnant with my last child.”
The woman said she always thought it was a happy marriage as they got intimated twice a week, exchanged gifts regularly, and went out on date nights every weekend.
“We were intimate more than twice a week, we went on date nights, we bought each other gifts, we didn’t fight.”
However, OP’s life turned upside down when she returned early from a girls’ trip on New Year’s Eve 2021 and went straight to her bedroom only to find her husband having sex with her mum.
“I walked into my bedroom to find my mum having sex with my husband,” she wrote. “My mother screamed at me to get out of ‘their’ bedroom which really shook me up even more. Unfortunately, my oldest daughter was also home in her bedroom across the house getting ready for a party.”
“She ran out and witnessed my all but a bed sheet naked mother run out of our house next door to her house and slam the door,” OP continued. “My daughter was devastated and went to my sister’s house. I asked her not to say anything until I first talked to my husband.”
According to OP, when she confronted her husband and asked him why he did that, he said her mom seduced him when they were both 18 and lived in OP’s parents’ house for a few years.
“I asked him for the truth. He told me my mum seduced him when we were 18 and living in their house. They’d been having unprotected sex at least once a month for longer than we were married.”
His confession made things even worse because when OP did the math, she concluded that her twin brothers, born after their affair started, could be her husband’s.
“I ran the maths and was horrified, because the timeline meant my twin brothers and youngest brother could be my husband’s.”
“I immediately called my dad and told him to come to my house without my mum. I made my husband confess and my dad was devastated, he and my mum were high school sweethearts too,” she wrote. “Needless to say, we could hear my mother screaming from her house when he confronted her.”
“My dad kicked her out, and she’s now living with my 38-year-old sister.”
After doing a DNA test, the family discovered that OP’s twin brothers were his husband’s biological children.
“My dad insisted on a DNA test for the three youngest boys before he’d consider anything to do with their marriage. The twins are my husband’s biological children. I’ve since kicked him out and he’s living with his parents.”
The woman has kicked her husband out of their house and is now looking for a bigger property elsewhere with her dad so they can live together.
“Since the house was still in my father’s name, my husband will get no money from the sale, neither will my mother, since inherited assets are not subject to be split in divorces,” she added. “My mother is also likely to not get any alimony, as our state is not a no fault divorce state.”
“My husband is appalled and furious that I proved he actually is about to have seven kids, instead of five, and that I’m going to be taking half his business away from him.”
The woman also revealed that her now ex-husband got her and her mother pregnant within the same month. She said she now feels like a fool because she really cherished that time when both she and her mum were pregnant at the same time.
According to the woman in her estate, all marital assets, including businesses, are always equally split, which means she will take over half of her husband’s business.
“I’m extremely bitter and angry at my mother, especially at her hypocrisy of calling me a whore and shaming my family, when she’s done much worse,” she wrote. “I also despise my ex with everything within me now, as he was having sex with both my mum and me in some instances coming to our bed minutes later.”
“He got my mother pregnant less than a week after getting me pregnant and while I thought it was so cute and fun that I shared a pregnancy experience with my mum, she was carrying my children’s half-siblings.”
The woman ended her post by saying she and all her kids have been going to therapy after the trauma they have all gone through and it has shattered their lives.
“I’ve been in therapy since the first week of January. I’ve offered this for my two adult children if they need family therapy with all of us, but they’re doing individual therapy right now.”
