I caught my husband having an affair with my mum and he told me she is more of a woman than me

A 26-year-old lady has recounted her shocking experience of catching her husband in bed with her mother.

She shared that she has been married to her 34-year-old husband for six years.

However, she began to notice a change in her husband’s behavior, which raised her suspicions. This led to the devastating discovery of her husband’s infidelity with her own mother.

Narrating, she wrote: “I can’t believe I’m actually typing these words, but I need to get this off my chest. My (26F) husband (34M) is having an affair with my mother (57F), and I feel like my entire world is crashing down around me.

A little background: I’ve been married to my husband for six years. We met when I was in college and have been together for almost 8 years. Our relationship always seemed solid, and we were planning to start a family soon. My mother and I have always been close, and she was a big part of our lives. She’d come over often, and we’d do things together—girls’ nights, family dinners, the works. I never thought twice about how often she and my husband were around each other. I trusted them both completely.

About a month ago, I started noticing some odd behavior. My husband would get these late-night texts and would leave the room to reply. He was being more secretive with his phone, and our intimacy, both sexual and emotional, had dwindled. I tried to brush it off as stress from work or maybe just a rough patch, I began to work harder on my marriage, cooking things he likes, taking on more overtime, making sure everything was in perfect condition at home etc.

Then, two weeks ago, I came home early from work feeling sick. I walked into our bedroom and found them together. It felt like my heart had been ripped out of my chest. They didn’t notice me at first, and I was frozen, unable to move or even breathe. When they finally saw me, the looks on their faces were a mix of guilt and horror.

My mother tried to explain, saying it “just happened” and that they “didn’t mean to hurt me.” My husband was silent, not even attempting to make excuses. I ran out of the house and drove aimlessly for hours, crying and screaming. I ended up at a friend’s place and have been staying there since.

I feel utterly devastated and betrayed by the two people I trusted the most. How do you even begin to process something like this? My mother, the woman who gave birth to me, and my husband, the man I vowed to spend my life with. I feel like my entire reality has been shattered.

I haven’t spoken to either of them since that day. They’ve both been calling and texting non-stop, but I can’t bring myself to respond. I’ve told a couple of close friends, and they’ve been supportive, but I still feel so alone.

My husband’s excuse for cheating? My infertility. That I couldn’t have children and he was entitled to sleep with whomever he wanted if I couldn’t do something most women were capable of. He told me that I lacked the traditional values he held, I did not know he held any traditional values, and that my mom was better because she was a SAHM that was capable of having kids.

I know the divorce is coming, but I’m devastated, I just feel so guilty and that my life is a lie. I couldn’t give him what he wanted and now he is gone. I feel heartbroken, I feel drained and I feel so alone it aches.
