Cheated on while pregnant
Yup you read it. Wasn’t even 24 hours after having my c-section when I got sent a video of what was my bf in bed with another woman.
He cheated on me when I was about seven months pregnant with his ex (who he still sees because they share a child).
She wanted revenge because I was the first and only person he dated after they broke up when she was pregnant in 2019. So after I gave birth she decided to send me a video of him in her bed. What an evil thing to do.
It wasn’t the first time he cheated on me and he had spent the first half of my pregnancy in jail. So while I was recovering in the hospital my family was over at our home packing mine and baby’s stuff and moving tf out asap.
I gave him more than enough chances and had hoped our baby was going to change him for the better.
I know he was the cheater but they’re both to blame. She was acting civil and nice to me knowing she f-ed him. We were talking about making sure our kids would have a sibling relationship no matter what.
Nope she decided to put her revenge over her child’s future relationship with her sister. I facilitated one visit with all of us together and being in the same room as them was too triggering. I was diagnosed with ptsd from the betrayal. I’m not exposing my child to someone who purposely causes me harm.
I’m kinda glad I didn’t find out sooner because I had a great pregnancy and that would have ruined it for me. My birth was ruined and the weeks after. I was supposed to be filled with joy at home with my newborn. Instead I cried over the sudden break up, adjusting to a new place to live and dealing with the trauma of the video.
I’ve never told my family and friends about the cheating. Sometimes it sucks having to wait for my counseling appointments to be able to talk about it. I just hope some day it doesn’t hurt anymore.
