I hope you enjoy this story. Acquaintance was unfaithful to his spouse, so I informed him that he destroyed his children's futures. Presently, his spouse reconciled with him due to my remarks and my spouse mentions that I unintentionally intervened. Gilt her into forgiving a cheater. My wife is upset at me because of a conversation I had with one of my ex-friend this weekend. I wanted to get neutral opinion on if what I said was horrible and disrespectful to my wife. Just a warning that I am writing about a very sensitive topic and may be triggering to some people. I have been friends with Jason, 38M, since high school.

Our families are also close, and our kids are of similar age. For context, Jason is married and has two young girls. Last month, Jason's wife Bree got anonymous messages about Jason cheating on her. She snooped around and learned that Jason was having a two-year-long affair with one of his co-workers. Brey was devastated and reached out to my wife. My wife and I supported Bree, and she confronted Jason and kicked him out of the house. He is living with his parents now and trying everything possible to talk to Bree and make things right. I was faced with a tough decision but decided to be there for Bree and kids and cut contact with Jason. He has been messaging me and trying

to talk to me since then. Last week, his mom reached out to me and told me that Jason has not being doing well and having panic attacks and wanted to talk to me. I was reluctant, and despite my wife's protest, I decided to talk to him. He came to my house on Friday evening. My wife did not want to see him and stayed in our bedroom along with the kids. Jason was very apologetic and started telling me how he is so angry at himself, and how he broke up with his AP in order to make things right with his wife. He told me that he is also planning to leave his job and would do it.

anything to get back with Bree and see the kids. He wanted me to talk to Bree so that he can at least discuss the situation and they can work on their marriage. I have never seen him cry and it was just horrible. He started complaining about how Bree has been ignoring him for the last several years and they were having problems and that led him to make such a horrible mistake. I know it's not my place, but I completely lost it on him and told him to stop blaming Bree. If he had problem with her, she should have worked with her to solve it. Cheating on her is the worst thing he could have done to her, and he has no idea how hurt Brie is due to all this.

I told him that he not only hurt Brie, but also fucked up his kids' lives. They did not do anything wrong and now have to suffer due to his selfish behavior. I told him that I know that husbands and wives may have problems, but his actions are punishing his kids, and their lives will never be the same after this. I told him that I am angrier at him that he destroyed his girl's lives, and he is a monster if he did not think of them before cheating on his wife.

We both argued for a while and eventually, I told him that I cannot help him in this situation, and we will stand in Bree's corner and make sure she and the kids are taken care of. He left after that. My wife was appreciative that I did not support Jason and did not let him blame Bree for his horrible actions. Before sleeping, my wife asked me why I focused on telling Jason that he should have not cheated because of the kids. She said that Bree's life is also destroyed, and she is never going to emotionally or financially recover from this for a long time. She feels that the kids are collateral damage, but Bree should be the reason why Jason should not have cheated. I told my wife that from my perspective, I feel worse for the kids because they had such a nice stable home and Jason fucked it up for everyone.

My wife told me that she knows I would never cheat on her, but if I was tempted to cheat, would I stop myself because I love her, or would it be because of our kids? We also have two girls. I told her that the main reason I would not do it is because I have morals. But if I was playing her game, I will stop myself because I would never want my daughters to go through this horrible situation. My wife was upset at the answer because she feels that she should be the number one reason why I would not cheat. I understand her point and I love her very much. However, I really want my daughters to have a wonderful perfect life with two loving parents, and that would be the main reason I would never do anything to sabotage it.

Am I the awe because I prioritized my daughter's happiness over the love towards my wife? Is that a normal thing to do, or my wife is right, and she should always be my number one priority? Update, I wanted to thank everyone for all your suggestions and comments on my post from last week. The week has been crazy, and I am just left numb since what happened yesterday can't help but blame myself for the mess that happened so far. The issue was that my friend Jason was caught cheating on his wife last month, and when I had an heated argument with him last week, I told him that he should have thought about his kids before starting a two-year-long affair with a co-worker. My wife heard the conversation and was upset that his wife Bree was the one who was wrong the most, and I should not have told him that his kids should be the number one reason he should have not cheated.

I agree with all of you who said that the comments I made were horrible, but it was just an emotional week and not sure I am thinking about things right. One the night I posted here, I had a very long conversation with my wife. I apologize to her for telling her that our daughter's happiness would be the main reason and why I would never do anything to hurt our family. I told her that she is the love of my life and how much I value all the things she has done for us. I understand that she is my wife,

and I made a vow to her to be with her forever, and I understand how my statement was hurtful to her. She was luckily very understanding and told me to not worry about her. She said that she was hurt in that moment, but understands how much I love our kids. She did ask me why I even kept on bringing up kids, during my conversation with Jason as that was the point in my argument with Jason where I lost my

cool. The thing was when Brie kicked out Jason after learning about the affair, she was a mess. Bree is a psalm and does not have many friends. My wife is probably the closest friend of Bree and hence she called my wife to tell her about what happened. As my wife went to her place, I volunteered to pick up Jason's daughters and bring them to our house to give Bree some space. Bree was having a mental breakdown since the incident and my wife chose to stay at her place to look after her. I was watching the kids for four nights until Bree was okay enough to take care of them. Jason's older daughter who is eight kind of understood what was happening. However, his younger daughter is four and was just missing her parents.

She is daddy's girl and kept on insisting to me to call Jason to our place. It was heartbreaking to look at her and feel how irreparable. her life will be affected because of Jason's selfish decisions. I just felt very sad inside during the whole situation. I understand that it is Bree and Jason's relationship, and I don't get to have a say, but I feel that was the main reason why I reacted the way I did. I feel lucky that my wife understood my emotions and was gracious to support me and not be upset with my unfortunate statements. She told me that she told Bree that Jason came to our home and about my fight with Jason. Bree felt hurt about it, but asked my wife if she could come to our house on Friday to talk to

me. We met on Friday and Bree asked me about my conversation with Jason. I told her in detail about what happened, how Jason's mom reached out to me, and I met him because of that. I told him about how Jason told me he broke up with his AP and was going to leave his job to be far away from that situation. Bree asked me about our fight and why I said things about the kids. I again was honest with her about what I felt. I apologized to her for having opinions as it was their relationship, but I just said those things in the heat of the moment. Bree asked my wife and me if we think Jason can change,

as she is also very worried about the kids and the impact on them. She said that Jason has always been an amazing dad, and she is not sure if she can raise the kids without him. My wife told her that what Jason did was horrible and unforgivable, but we do not want to give opinions on their relationship, as only Bree can decide what to do about it. Bree told us that she'd want to talk to Jason, and if we could host both of them, so she feels safe. Jason and Bree came to our house on Sunday, and it was the first time in a month that Jason met his daughters. It was a very surreal moment to see how emotional he got after seeing them.

I don't care what all of you say, but I know that I've been. will never jeopardize my family because I would never want to be in Jason's shoes and how broken he looked when he had to face his daughters. There were a lot of tears all around. Bree and Jason discussed things privately. From the gist I got later, Jason apologized a lot to Brie and told her he would do anything to make things right. He told her that he has already put a 14-day notice at his workplace and vowed to never see or talk to his AP again. He told her that she could have access to his phone, and he will not take a job where he has to travel for work or stay away from her overnight. All he asked was for a chance to go for marriage counseling and work on things.

He also offered that they could move to a different town near Bree's parents and get a fresh start. Bree accepted most of the things, except she does not want to move to a new place. They decided that Jason can move back into their house, and they will try to find a way forward from this situation. They both thanked us for mediating between them, and Jason also apologized to me for all the drama and told me that he will do everything possible to heal his marriage and make sure his daughters are taken care of. It all seemed like a good outcome on surface, but my wife feels that my comments about their

daughters may have guilt Brey into taking Jason back. I really did not intend to meddle in their relationship, and I know that they have a long rocky road ahead if they want to recover from this situation. I just hope that they find the strength in doing that. I wanted to get opinions on if what I did was right in this situation, as I feel I accidentally caused both of them to get back together, and if Jason cheats in future, I might be the one to be blamed because I talk to Jason first. And then my words guilt Brie into taking him back because of the kids.

Comments where Op has replied. Difficult underscore mood underscore 3225. I hate to say this, but at a very important. Eventually when he cheats again, or they break up, she is going to blame you and your wife for suggesting she stay because of the kids, even though you told her that you and your wife would not give your opinions, you already have. Instead, what might have been helpful is letting her know that if he really is a great dad, he'll continue to be on no matter what.

Even if they are not together. Divorce doesn't automatically mean raising the kids alone and she should do whatever she believes would be healthiest for her and her kids. Cheating for that reason alone often means more pain in the end for everyone including the kids. The whole reason your wife was upset with you is because you were minimizing the importance of who you actually made vows to. The same thing is happening with Bree and her husband. I could be wrong, but usually cheaters are cheaters or cheaters or cheaters-oop. To be honest, this is exactly why I am feeling bad.

I did not mean to, but my comments may have guilt her into staying with Jason. I thought I knew Jason for my whole life and never thought he was even capable of cheating on Brie. I don't trust him anymore and not sure if I can be great friends with him. Mustang 19671967. Tell your wife and Brie there is no statute of limitations she can leave the scumbag anytime she wants no reasons other than a scumbag. She should force him to tell Rene a partner about the affair and if they work together tell the company. He should also tell his family and hers and get a post-knip with big penalty for adultery-up. The thing is I really do not want to be involved in their affairs anymore.

I feel Jason is my friend, but it feels weird to give them advice about their own marriage. I do not feel I have any right to tell them what they should do. I know Jason is a scumbag, but I hope that he rectifies his ways and does not hurt Brie again. I would always have it at the back of my mind that Brie might be in a shabye. shitty situation because of something I said in the heat of the moment. Next story, told my pregnant Sil her husband was cheating but my wife got mad, said she forgive cheating and left me. Now Sil lives with me and we're both getting divorced. I have been married to my wife for three years. I am 27 and she's 26. My Sil is 30 and my POS

bill is 31. I always had a close relationship with my Sil. We are friends. We are friends. also has a decent connection between my bill. Not that close, but we often talk and get along my wife and her sister didn't get along as much as you would expect from siblings. It wasn't just normal siblings' rivalry but constant fights and arguments. Anyway, three weeks ago when I was having dinner with my friends, I saw my bill with another woman, they were just eating, I didn't think much of it. I wanted to go and greet him, but I kept talking to my friends. After a while I saw that he gave a light kiss to this woman I was so shocked.

I decided to not confront him and when I got back to my home I told my wife everything, I told her that her sister is getting cheated on and we need to tell her. My wife said we should talk to my bill instead of telling her sister and we should not break their marriage because her sister is pregnant I was like WTF. So what if she's pregnant? Her husband is a cheat. I tried to convince my wife multiple times that we should tell her. sister the truth. I told her that I know you guys don't get along but she's still your sister

and this isn't right but she asked me to stay out of it I tried my best to convince my wife but she either ignored me or said we shouldn't break their marriage. I had enough of her and yesterday I told her that I am coming clean to my sill. She and I have a great bond and I can't and want betray her. My wife said if I tell her the truth she will not talk to me. I replied I won't talk to you either if you don't want to do what's right today I told my sill the truth. I went to her place and told her everything, she was doubtful and she asked me to leave. After a few hours my sill called me and she was crying and said what I said was the truth and she shouldn't have doubted me and kicked me.

She said she's leaving, I asked her where would you go? Do you have money? She said she does but not that much. I wired her a bit and said she should call me if she needs help and she thanked me and said she will only use the money I sent if it's necessary otherwise she will return my bill called my wife and well my wife lashed onto me and said I ruined her family and her sister's life. I said I thought the moment we got married your family is mine and my family is yours. Anyway, why T.F. are you defending that pause so much? What about your sister? She didn't reply to me

and she's not talking to me either. I tried to talk to her and convince her that it was the right thing to do, but she wouldn't talk to me so I said fine, stay angry and if you want to divorce me then go ahead I think I have nuke my marriage, do not know if what I did was truly right update one. November 7, 2024. It's been a few days since I told my wife's sister that her husband is a cheat, just to clarify to all the weirds, no, I am not in love with my sill, I don't have any inappropriate relations slash feelings for her. I respect her and she's family in any case yesterday.

I asked my wife why she is pissed and wanted me to not reveal the truth to her sister. I know you guys hate each other, but you guys are. siblings my wife said it's not our place to interfere. I asked her you okay with her sister being cheated on. She said she isn't but it will and has ruined their marriage because of my stupidity. She's pregnant and the child needs his father and so does the wife I was so shocked when she said this, like WTF. I asked her if I were to cheat on you, would you forgive me? She said yes. I also asked her if she ever cheats on me would she hide it from me? She also said yes to that I was so shocked I asked her if she knows what she's saying, she said yes and she's confident.

Just because you had sex with someone else doesn't mean everyone else has to suffer and break the family I had no words to say. I told her that I also sent my sill money, she started screaming at me and said I shouldn't have helped her despite knowing she doesn't like her sister. I said if that's what she thinks then it's better if we just divorce, she got angry and screamed fine and started packing her bag I tried my best to stop her from leaving. I told her that I love her and I just did what I felt right, nobody has to suffer betrayal like this. She said it is wasn't the right time I asked her so when should we tell her the truth? After she gives birth? Because it will worsen her PPD or years after she gives birth? She will just blame us, she said we should

have just kept quiet and left it alone. I tried so hard to stop her but she didn't listen to me and left, I tried to contact her and her parents. Her friends but they don't know where she is and instead started interrogating me and saying I am her husband and I should have taken care of her and I should know where she is. I even visited my bill to confirm my suspicions, but I didn't see her car or her belongings anywhere I hate that I am being blamed for just revealing the truth and my wife leaving me right away without a second thought. I was so dumb pissed so today I called my sill and told her that she can stay at my place because I'm going to my parents and my wife left and nobody knows where she is. She told me she will try talking to her parents, but after a while

she called me and said that their parents don't know where she is. I told her to think about herself and come over and stay here instead of blowing up her money now I am at my parents and my sill is in our home. Maybe I was being petty but I hate that my wife gave up on me and left without a second thought. I don't know whether she's cheating or cheated or she would truly cheat on me and her own blood sister with a family relative over feuds. One thing is for sure though, I cannot trust my wife anymore, she hurt me. Update November 2, 19, 2024 many people ask me for an update and I also do need some outsider's perspective over my situation so here it goes but before I just want to clarify

slash ask to people who kept calling me names for telling my sill the truth. Why you guys kept telling me to mind my own business? She's family and if families don't look out for each other and help then who else will? Strangers and it's not just some harmless slash small lie for my bill, it's life changing. Still isn't just my sill, she's my friend if I didn't tell her the truth now then my POS Bill would have just kept cheating and I would lose a friend if I delayed. Anyway, coming back to update, my sill only stayed at my place for two days, after then she

called me and said she can't trouble me anymore and she's going to live in hotel, I tried to convince her to not blow up her money unnecessarily but she didn't listen and left anyway. And yes I am divorcing my wife, after a week of NC, she called me and said she wants to reconcile, She said she was angry that I didn't listen to her and went behind her back. She said she didn't want to break her sister's family so she wanted to hide it and convince my bill to not cheat, but I fucked it all up and she's coming back. I just asked her to come back because I wanted to talk to her and it's not something you discuss over calls.

Once my wife arrived and started to explain herself, I told her I am filling, she was pretty shocked, she said we can make it work, I told her we can't. I don't trust you after everything you said and you just like. left me with no contact and you show up suddenly while I was worried all day about where my wife is or is she safe, etc. I can't make it work. She tried convincing me to not divorce, but I had already made my intentions clear, I told her that her sister stayed at our place for two days and she got angry and said, fine, let's divorce and left. I told my sill that I am getting a divorce, she wasn't happy about it, but she didn't try to convince me in or out of it. I told her that

she can stay with me instead of hotel, she said it's inappropriate, I just said either you blow up your money and struggle or she can accept my help so my sill and I have been living together for past couple of days and we discussed about our spouses and their behavior. We both got pretty angry about this all my sill got even more angry than I was and she ended up calling my wife and called her names and she told me she's hell bent on to ruining my bill, she is divorcing him and will go nuclear on him and ask for as much money as alimony and child support, she wants to drain him. My wife and I didn't talk to each other after she left and we both know that we are divorcing. My sill though angry she calmed down because it's unhealthy for her and her baby and she

started focusing on career and red stories about single moms. She's preparing herself so yeah that's all and weirdos stay away. Neither my sill nor I have any feelings between each other. I am just helping her and she wasn't feeling good about it that's why she was hesitating so much. call me a moral police but I know I did the right thing not just for my sill but for me as well I now know what kind of woman my wife is
