Pregnant woman discovers husband having affair with her mum after finding explicit photos on his phone

When it comes to what the wildest corner of the internet is, I think it's probably Reddit - and a recent thread from a woman who discovered her husband has been sleeping with her mum only further proves my theory.

The Everybody Has A Secret podcast reads out listener stories and some they have found on Reddit.

Strap in for this one - it's a wild ride.

Host Annabelle sums up the story, which includes: "I (26F) have found out my husband (30M) is having sex with my mother (52F). I’m four months pregnant and I’m trying not to stress since it’s bad for the baby.

"When I announced my pregnancy, he seemed happy. Over the moon actually. He was kissing me and telling me how lucky he was to have me but now he changed." she said.

"About 2 weeks after my surprise announcement, he stopped hugging me and kissing me like usual. I also noticed he had changed his lock screen which was a picture of us."

According to the woman, she was going through her husband's phone while he was in the shower and found 'text messages, videos, pictures'.

"I’m sick to my stomach thinking about what I saw." she said, adding that she saw 'pictures of my mom in lingerie' with her husband replying with 'pictures of his penis'.

"I even saw a message of regret. He had said that maybe they should stop since he didn’t want to hurt me but my mom said I wouldn’t get hurt as long as they kept it all a secret. " she wrote.

"But what angered me the most was the message she sent a few days ago."

The text message from her mum included: "I love you so much. I know it is hard for you to keep a secret like this, for me it is too. I love my daughter with all my heart but she will have to accept eventually that love is love and that the heart wants what it wants. Our hearts want each other.

"I thought that ever since my husband died, nobody would ever love me because i’m just an old woman but you have shown me to love my self and made me feel young and sexy again. let’s keep having fun and cherishing each other.”

The woman at the centre of the dilemma has since clarified that her dad passed away five years prior, and she eventually confronted her husband after sending the evidence to herself, to which he 'started crying'.

"He had the nerve to cry and get on his knees while holding and caressing my stomach. He told me that I would be a bad mother if I left him and raised my child without a father because a baby needs a dad in their life." she said.

"I told him that I was contacting a lawyer in order to file for divorce."

She then also confronted her mother, who told her she 'isn't the victim', and that she's 'cruel' for preventing her from meeting her future child.

The comments on the TikTok have blown up, with many commenters leaping to the pregnant woman's side.

One person wrote: "That poor woman, betrayed by two of the most important people in her life. Divorce & go for full custody."

Another said: "I think I would leave and never come back and they’d never see my face again."

And a third added: "I hope that she can recover with this and be a strong woman for her child."
