It\u00a0all started with an\u00a0ordinary tattoo.\n\n

A\u00a0woman wrote to\u00a0one of\u00a0the Reddit communities to\u00a0share her mind-boggling\u00a0story, that started with a\u00a0very innocent act of\u00a0her husband. She wrote, \u201cA\u00a0year and a\u00a0half ago, my\u00a0husband got a\u00a0tattoo. I\u00a0don\u2019t have a\u00a0problem with tattoos or\u00a0anything like that but had never gotten one before or\u00a0talked about getting one.\u201d\n\n\n\n\n

\n

When she asked him about the reason why he\u00a0actually decided to\u00a0ink his body, his reply was not likely to\u00a0cause any troubles.\n

The OP\u00a0wrote, \u201cHe\u00a0said he\u00a0started thinking about it\u00a0because one of\u00a0his sisters married a\u00a0man who had several tattoos. It\u00a0made him realize he\u00a0wanted one. He\u00a0ended up\u00a0getting a\u00a0lily tattooed on\u00a0the left side of\u00a0his chest. I\u00a0didn\u2019t really like\u00a0it, but\u00a0I didn\u2019t comment because he\u00a0is\u00a0free to\u00a0do\u00a0what he\u00a0wants with his body.\u201d\n\n

\n

A\u00a0simple coincidence made the woman rethink her husband\u2019s tattoo.\n\n

The woman seemed to\u00a0have forgotten about this tattoo and continued her normal life with her husband, when one day her husband decided to\u00a0add some details to\u00a0his tattoo.\n

The OP\u00a0wrote, \u00abA\u00a0little over a\u00a0year after he\u00a0got the lily done, he\u00a0went back and had some ivy added around\u00a0it. I\u00a0used to\u00a0go\u00a0to\u00a0certain work events and parties with him because it\u00a0was normal to\u00a0go. He\u00a0then started telling me\u00a0I couldn\u2019t go\u00a0with him, and then\u00a0I insisted on\u00a0him to\u00a0take me\u00a0there again. He\u00a0finally relented and brought me\u00a0to\u00a0one.\u00bb\n

Then, a\u00a0seemingly ordinary meeting grew into a\u00a0huge problem. The woman wrote, \u00abI\u00a0met one of\u00a0his colleagues. She works in\u00a0the same department as\u00a0him, and they have the same title, so\u00a0they work together a\u00a0lot. I\u00a0immediately realised it\u00a0was my\u00a0husband\u2019s mistress, because her name was Lily.\u00bb\n

The OP\u00a0had some puzzle being solved in\u00a0her head, but her husband said she was wrong. The woman explained, \u00abMy\u00a0husband swore it\u00a0was a\u00a0coincidence. I\u00a0had tried to\u00a0ignore my\u00a0feeling about him suddenly wanting a\u00a0tattoo.\u00bb\n\n

\n

The revelations that came after that event were really stressful for the woman.\n\n

But soon the woman discovered that her\u00a0spouse\u00a0did have some huge skeleton in\u00a0a\u00a0cupboard. And not just one.\n

She\u00a0wrote, \u201cHe\u00a0eventually admitted they have been having an\u00a0affair for the last two years. I\u00a0was so\u00a0shocked\u00a0I was not even thinking about the ivy, but my\u00a0husband said that Lily had a\u00a0baby she named Ivy, and he\u00a0got the tattoo a\u00a0few months after the birth.\u201d\n

When the\u00a0OP found out about this affair and that her husband actually had a\u00a0baby with his mistress, she of\u00a0course thought about divorcing her husband immediately. But he\u00a0did have a\u00a0big hope that she\u2019d forgive him for everything that he\u2019d done.\n

The woman revealed, \u201cHe\u00a0begged me\u00a0not to\u00a0get a\u00a0divorce, but\u00a0I can\u2019t forgive this. We\u00a0have to\u00a0be\u00a0separated for a\u00a0year before we\u00a0get divorced.\u201d\n\n

\n

The woman now is\u00a0totally desperate and broken.\n\n

The OP\u00a0wrote, \u201cOur daughter is\u00a0turning 18\u00a0next month. There will not be\u00a0child support ordered for either of\u00a0us by\u00a0the time we\u00a0are divorced. The divorce should not be\u00a0complicated. We\u00a0both work, so\u00a0the attorney\u00a0I consulted said there will not be\u00a0spousal support ordered for either of\u00a0us and our assets will be\u00a0divided.\u201d\n

She shared her feelings about everything that has happened to\u00a0her, saying, \u201cPart of\u00a0me\u00a0is\u00a0still in\u00a0shock. He\u00a0wants to\u00a0go\u00a0to\u00a0counseling, but\u00a0I can\u2019t. We\u00a0have been married for 19\u00a0years, and\u00a0I let him convince me\u00a0my\u00a0feelings about his tattoo were wrong. I\u00a0never thought\u00a0I would be\u00a043\u00a0and getting a\u00a0divorce, but here I\u00a0am.\u201d\n\n

Reddit people were very supportive in\u00a0the comments.\n\n

  • So he had an affair for two years, had a child with mistress and wants to work on the marriage now? Good for you for standing up for yourself, I\u2019m sorry you and your daughter are going through this. \u00a9\u00a0AAP_BH\u00a0\/ Reddit
    \nJust for giggles, ask him why he\u00a0thinks that you should stay together and try to\u00a0work it\u00a0out. Then let\u00a0us know his answer. I\u00a0can\u2019t imagine why he\u00a0thinks that you should forgive him.\u00a0\u00a9\u00a0CurlyGurl_Bee409\u00a0\/ Reddit\n
  • Can I just say, from a daughter who watched her dad cheat constantly on her mom, that I hope you are proud of how you are handling this situation. I was so angry at my mom for staying with my dad. The disrespect he showed my mom stayed with me for years, it even affected my relationship with my mom. You are showing your daughter that you know you deserve better and that you will not accept any form of\u00a0disrespect. Keep your head up\u00a0and know that you are amazing!\u00a0\u00a9\u00a0Wondeful_Guidance_6\u00a0\/ Reddit\n
  • I\u2019m sorry, but this is just wild. He didn\u2019t just have an affair which would be bad enough. No. That wasn\u2019t enough for your husband, he also chose to commit to lifetime reminders of the affair with the tattoos and the child. The sheer AUDACITY of this man for saying he doesn\u2019t want a divorce. I\u2019m so sorry for you. I hope when the divorce is final, you\u2019re able to\u00a0find some peace and meet someone who\u2019s actually worthy of\u00a0you.\u00a0\u00a9\u00a0Icy_Session3326\u00a0\/ Reddit\n
  • If you\u2019re only 43, you should have 25\u201335 years of happiness waiting for you. Plan what you want, do what you want. You\u2019re not tied down to a two-year-old. Think of all the things you want to do with your life, you will now have the time and freedom to pursue them. Go back to school, start a new hobby, volunteer, become a gourmet chef \u2014 what have you always wanted to do, but couldn\u2019t? Now you can. He can\u2019t because he is where you were 16 years ago when your daughter was two and needed all of\u00a0your time and energy.\u00a0\u00a9\u00a0G0t2ThinkAboutIt\u00a0\/ Reddit\n\n\n
