A woman was left unable to look after her brother after finding out the real reason behind his wife and his split after being told something completely different
When you’re told a secret, sometimes it can be difficult to keep your lips zipped – but when one woman found out a shocking secret about the real reason he split from his wife, she was left horrified and couldn’t even look at him.
Cheating in a relationship is one of the worst things that you can do, but one woman’s brother went one step further by doing the dirty on his wife “with an escort”.
His mortified wife discovered his infidelity when she was cleaning up for him and “found a packet of PrEP tablets”, which prevent transmission of HIV when having unprotected sex. When she found the tablets, she had no idea what they were and had to “research online”, and was left feeling disgusted with her husband.
Taking to Mumsnet, the sister of the cheating man penned: “I found out recently that my brother cheated on his wife with an escort. They split up a few months ago and told no one in our family until a few weeks after, when I visited his house he finally told me that they had split and stated ‘they grew apart’, however, something was off about his response, he just said it so nonchalantly with no emotion. They had been married for few years and had a daughter who is only two.”
She said that she “knew something was off” as his wife had said nothing to her recently on WhatsApp, and they usually speak regularly, but she’d stopped replying to her messages, however, she just assumed she was “busy with her daughter”. “I called her and expressed how sorry I was and she told me everything”, she wrote.
“So one morning when she was at home cleaning, she found a packet of PrEP tablets (tablets that stop you getting HIV if you have unprotected sex), at first she didn’t know what the tablets were and researched it all up online”, she wrote. “She confronted him and at first made excuses about how he was holding them for a mate but after a while, he admitted he had been using escorts and having unprotected sex with some of them.
“Obviously she did what any woman should do in that situation and packed her bags and left to go back to her parents. I honestly can’t bear to look at my brother in the face, my parents don’t know the full reason, I’ve lied to them and said they grew apart. I’m just dreading if her parents ring the house, they’re now asking questions about when they can see their granddaughter, as they know she is with her mother.
“I asked him what he plans to do and he seems just hell-bent on continuing with the escorts although he didn’t say that outright, he has no problem living by himself now. I asked if he would move out so his child could have a home with her mother but he refused and said she’s fine living with her grandparents. At first, I thought he was saying this as an ultimatum to get her back but I honestly don’t think he wants her. It’s almost as if a weight has been lifted off of his shoulders after the split.”
His sister said that she hadn’t “called him for a week”, and her “parents can’t get hold of him”. She said the real reason behind the split would “destroy them”, so she couldn’t tell them, so she said she’d “have to try and convince his ex to let me and my parents see their granddaughter.”
She fumed: “And yet he’s sat in his house doing God knows what leaving this mess with me, like he’s just stopped caring! I can’t stand the sight of him but I have my parents in my ear nonstop asking questions. The house is in a mortgage in his name and his ex doesn’t work as she was a full-time stay-at-home mum so I’m not sure if he is even supporting her financially. All I know is when we last messaged she said she wanted nothing to do with my family ever again and told me to give her some space.
“I’m just shocked that my brother could act like this, I understand how men think but I always thought my brother was a little different, I know that was just wishful thinking. He’s really f***ed our family over and he couldn’t give a s**t”.
People hailed the woman as kind for trying to help out, with one saying: “No wonder she’s devastated and your trying to help is commendable. Words fail me as to what your brother has done, no wonder you can barely look at him.”
Others urged her to “take a step back”, penning: “Take a step back as this has nothing to do with you. Let your brother explain matters to your parents. You can’t fix this. It’s not great to find these things out about people but unfortunately, you can’t do anything to make him change – that’s up to him.”
