I was expecting my first pregnancy to be a fairytale but my reality was crushed very quickly. My husband decided to ruin it all by asking for a paternity right after breaking the good news to him but there was more to the story. I am a 30-year-old woman, and my husband, Sam, and I are expecting our first child together. I am currently four months pregnant. I thought we were on cloud nine, but that quickly changed. The pregnancy did not come as a surprise. We had been trying to conceive for months, but when we found out, instead of tears of joy and laughter, I received a request for a paternity test. I was very confused because, after months of trying, I didn’t expect this reaction. I asked him why he thought I was cheating or why he even questioned the child’s paternity. However,he kept insisting that he didn’t doubt anything; he “just wanted reassurance.” I couldn’t shake off the feeling, so I started to do some digging. I waited until he went to bed, took his phone, and started going through it. I found messages between him and his coworker, and it quickly became evident they were dating. I realized that his late nights at work were actually spent with her. They had been away on weekends and even had a vacation planned. The fact that this man was cheating on me while I was pregnant was shocking and heartbreaking. Why would he let us try just for him to ruin it all? So, I decided to confront him. He freaked out and tried to gaslight me by saying I was the one cheating, then continued to emphasize the DNA test. So, I said, “Sure. I have nothing to hide. I’ll prove my loyalty.” But this man continued to shock me. He DEMANDED that I get a paternity test and PAY for it! That was when I started fuming; the smirk on his face just made me angrier. Before the argument could explode, I had a quick idea for some sweet revenge. I agreed to do the DNA test but I found a way to get a fake paternity test and gave it to him. When I gave it to him, he was completely flustered and screamed, “What?! That means you have been cheating on me too?!” I responded, “Well, since we’re being honest, yes, I’ve been having an affair with your brother,” and watched his face turn from red to white. I even doubled down and added, “And guess what? Your mother shared a little secret with me: the first grandchild born into the family gets the entire inheritance. Your parents are filthy rich, Sam. So, it looks like our baby is going to be set for life.” Sam was speechless for a moment, then stormed out of the house, presumably to confront his brother. I could hear them arguing outside, and soon enough, Sam came back in, furious. “He said it’s all a lie! We’re getting another paternity test, and this time, I’m scheduling and paying for it. I won’t let you anywhere near the results!” I shrugged. “Fine by me.” Sam did not see any of it coming. He was so furious he couldn’t sit still. I don’t think he ever thought his gaslighting would lead to him dealing with the possibility of me cheating as well. Honestly, the sight of his misery was satisfying. I couldn’t let him get away with hurting me so much. Either way, I had done the second paternity test, already knowing the child was his. It came back a few weeks later, and as expected, Sam was indeed the father. I handed him the results with a sweet smile. “Surprise! The first test was a fake. But you know what’s not fake? Your affair. We’re getting a divorce, and our baby will get all the inheritance anyway.” the reality was a bitter pill to swallow for Sam. He realized that he was losing his family, and in the end, I would benefit more than him. He tried to apologize and asked me to reconsider, telling me the affair started before I fell pregnant. None of his excuses made me feel better or hate him any less. He completely ruined my experience. I had planned and romanticized every detail of this new chapter together. I had already started ordering furniture for the nursery and couldn’t wait for us to build it together. I had been sharing a vision board of how I planned to decorate the nursery and ideas for our maternity shoot. But all of that ended before it started. Instead, I have to go back and forth with lawyers and draw up an agreement. My life is literally starting from scratch, building a co-parenting relationship with the person I saw a future with. This is not how I imagined my first pregnancy, but I am ready to start this new chapter and embark on my healing journey. I want to focus on reducing my stress and not harming my unborn child. I will do anything to protect my child and ensure they are brought up with a lot of love. A woman had a similar story but she discovered her husband was cheating with their nanny. In January 2023, Megan Bowling took to TikTok to share a gripping narrative of betrayal, revelation, and revenge involving her ex-husband, Jeremy. The story, unfolding over a two-part series on the social media platform, captivated viewers with its raw honesty and the ultimate showdown in a Thai restaurant. Megan began her story by reflecting on her younger self, admitting to a lack of self-worth and tolerating less than the bare minimum from her then-husband. “I was just young and dumb, and I didn’t have any self-worth or value,” she confessed. Jeremy’s narcissistic and controlling behavior marked the toxic foundation of their marriage, a union Megan retrospectively acknowledged she should have avoided. The catalyst for the unraveling of their marriage was Megan’s personal transformation and burgeoning success as a professional boudoir photographer. Losing 50 pounds and experiencing a surge in her business, she became a target of Jeremy’s insecurities. Their decision to employ a 56-year-old nanny, described by Megan as an “old southern Mee-maw,” seemed innocuous at first. The nanny, despite her age and appearance, was kind to Megan and her children, leaving no suspicion of the looming betrayal. The facade began to crumble one Halloween, following an emergency that Megan faced as she had an ovarian cyst rupture and needed to go to the emergency room. Her then spouse decided to begrudgingly take the kids trick or treating, and opted not to tell her that he took along the nanny with them. Megan found this a tad bit odd. One of the couple’s mutual friends ended up seeing Jeremy and the nanny at a get-together, that Megan did not even know of, leading to unexpected discoveries about Jeremy’s fidelity. A mutual friend’s observation of Jeremy and the nanny together raised red flags, but Megan’s concerns were dismissed by Jeremy, further straining their relationship. When Megan asked Jeremy about his outing with their nanny, he started gaslighting her and made her think that she was “crazy.” It got to a point where she had to apologize to him for acting out of character. One day, Megan threw her spouse a party and he attempted to cheat on her by bringing two different women home to the event she hosted in his honor. During that same period, she discovered another affair he had had and she kicked him out of their home. Click here to find out how the story unfolded.
