A woman who divorced her husband after she found out he got her sister pregnant has been left gobsmacked after the new mum approached her with a shocking demand
Some people just don’t know when they’ve crossed the line.
Finding out you’ve been cheated on is always devastating. It’s even worse when you find out that your partner has not only cheated on you, but that a pregnancy has resulted from their infidelity, and it can be earth-shatteringly bad when the person your partner is having a baby with is a member of your own family or a close friend.
That’s the situation one woman was recently dealing with when she found out that her husband and her sister had been having an affair and her sibling had fallen pregnant. The woman immediately started divorce proceedings when she found out, and it ruined her relationship with both her partner and her sister – but now the new mum has an outrageous demand for her.
In a post on Reddit, the 26-year-old woman explained she and her sister, 24, had been “really close” their whole lives, and when the time came for them to move away from their parents, they did so together. Her sister still spent a lot of time with her after she got married, but a few years later, she learned that her younger sibling had been sleeping with her husband.
Once she found out, she split from her partner and moved out of their house, leaving her husband and sister to live together. However, her sister recently gave birth, and now the woman’s husband has kicked her sister out of their shared home, leaving her and the baby with nowhere to go.
Her sister is now requesting that she move into the woman’s new home and even has the backing of their parents, who have accused her of being “selfish” and “disgusting” for saying no. She wrote: “She called our parents from the hospital and told them she had nowhere to go.
“That he was looking for custody and didn’t want her back, and I wasn’t answering her calls. So they called me, and after I heard them explain what was going on, I told them it wasn’t my problem. They tried to argue but I wasn’t having any of it.
“She got a place at a shelter for single parents and she’s still there several weeks on. With the custody dispute, she can’t move back to our parents, and I am still refusing to help her out. My parents are angry because I won’t even take her calls or reply to any messages she’s sent.
“They’re telling me I should be ashamed of myself for turning my back on her and the baby. I told my parents I owed her and the baby nothing. My parents called me disgusting for leaving them homeless.”
Commenters on the post were firmly on the woman’s side. Many said she isn’t responsible for her sister, and that their parents should be doing more to help support her with somewhere to stay while she goes through her custody battle.
One person said: “Good job standing your ground and having boundaries. Your sister will figure her s**t out eventually, but that’s not your concern. Your parents are on thin ice for trying to force you to help that backstabber.” Another added: “First betrayal, then entitlement. Why don’t your parents take her in? A literal case of f**k around and find out.”
