A woman was left speechless after discovering her husband’s infidelity, but his reaction to her finding out only made things worse
Discovering that a partner has been cheating is an incredibly painful experience. When there’s undeniable proof, it can feel as though trust has been shattered beyond repair.
For some couples, the idea of moving forward together may no longer seem like an option – and for one woman, her husband’s attitude was something she couldn’t forgive.
Shockingly, the woman – who has chosen to stay anonymous – revealed she had found out her husband hadn’t been loyal to her after she’d overheard his conversation with another woman through her baby monitor.
The mother frequently takes her 15-month-old son to her mother’s house while her husband is away at work for long hours. On this occasion, she inadvertently left one of the baby monitors turned on in their home before she left.

While caring for their child, the social media user accidentally overheard a phone call her husband was on. In her Reddit post, she shared that she heard him say, “I love you, baby,” followed by a woman responding with the same words.
“I also heard him say he’s off work tomorrow, he conveniently didn’t send me his schedule so I didn’t know,” the mum said. She soon realised the pair had been having an affair for months.
After being caught in the act, the husband confessed though he admitted that he had ended things with his mistress. But she couldn’t stand the sight of him. She wrote: “I asked if he wanted to work on things still, he said ‘I’m here by myself, being faithful to you, why can’t you get over this.” The cheat also had his lover in their house and their bed.
Shocked and disgusted by the revelation, the woman kept watching her husband through the baby monitor, unable to believe he had truly ended his affair.
Her suspicions were later confirmed when she noticed he seemed distracted during their conversation. “A couple of days ago, he was on the phone with her, and while talking to her, he texted me,” the Redditor explained.
“Then, he got a call and said: ‘Sorry baby, this is important, I have to take it.'” She has finally had enough and admitted she is keeping her son away from him and also moved out. “It makes me sick to go there and be near him and pretend everything is ok until I get a lawyer, but also makes me sick thinking of her in my home again (yes he’s had her in my home, in my bed),” the frustrated user wrote.
In the comments section, social media users shared the same advice for her. One person penned: “I’d honestly start having your mom come there. Make it inconvenient as hell for him.”
“He’s probably told her you split, so no longer coming to your home will raise some red flags. Time to become a mother first and protect your child for their future,” another person wrote. “Shut off wife mode and do everything you can to secure your baby’s future.”
“You’ve got to think long game. If you play along and get your ducks in order behind the scenes the fallout will be more beneficial for you,” wrote a third person.
