Just a quick follow up, we are getting a divorce.
Found out that she had recently started sexting someone almost twice her age and shared clips of us having sex with him. Trust utterly shattered, just glad no mistakes were made!
Thanks for all the comments, I think I need to find myself a therapist!

I am so sorry to read this. I hope you are ok and get some professional advice. It can help you tremendously.
I am appalled she shared photos of you & her with a potential new AP. I hope that just ends there.
I鈥檓 so sorry this happened but at least you know the truth about who she is.
PS no offense but she appears to me her elevator doesn鈥檛 go all the way up if you know what I mean 馃槩

I am so very sorry to hear that she is putting you through even more pain and grief. And glad that you are headed for divorce. I cannot imagine how disordered a person must be to share clips like that with an AP, or how broken and enraged I would feel in your shoes. Take care of yourself. You are young; you will find your way through this and be much better without her.
Husband had six month affair with co-worker. Found out 7/2020. Married 20 years at that point; two teenaged kids. Reconciling.

That is the most heinous thing that I鈥檝e ever read on this site. It鈥檚 not only an egregious violation of trust, it鈥檚 also illegal. Be sure to share that with your divorce attorney.
She made your decision easy, at least.
You鈥檝e probably seen this old diddy:
"Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes."
She鈥檚 an asshole. Your mental health will likely drastically improve once you鈥檙e rid of her, but counseling will still help.

Fantasm,
I'm so sorry that she kept choosing betrayal...and that both betrayals were SO f****d up!
Do find or continue counseling for yourself and be very assured that this is in no way a YOU problem. This has been very much a HER problem.
I am glad that her more recent betrayal (while horrifying!) has made your choice clear and that you are moving out of betrayal and feeling "stuck."
You can now fully focus on yourself and your own healing.
Be assured that you deserve so, SO much better!!

Ffs. She was sexting/EA WHILE badgering you to get her pregnant? At risk of sounding like an asshole that sounds like some entrapment right there. Get out asap.

And yeah like everyone else says, echo the get a good lawyer. If she is gonna do that who knows what she might try to pull. Stay safe man.

It鈥檚 always so interesting how the bs feelings towards their married future evolves after learning. The bs needs to give themselves time. They will learn new things鈥bout their partner, the affair details, their own core beliefs and standards. I had an arc that went from "Im going to commit to working through this" to being giddy that I "escaped mostly whole" from her. So glad he discovered the true her without the long term mess of children.
One thing that helped me was to think I went back to the time before I got serious with her鈥 was still learning about myself, peoples character types and what I wanted in my long term mate. After a little side tour, I was back on my journey ( a little more mature and bruised鈥oth good things!

I won't give advice as I am relitively new hear myself.
I just wanted to say.. I cannot even begin to comprehend how your W and AP could even come up with such a cruel plan to do that to you.. That is just heartbreaking. Please get some counselling for yourself, it will help you untangle your feelings and hopefully put you in a better place to decide what you want.
I am so very sorry you have to endure this

I鈥檝e heard of some pretty shitty things waywards do - but this! THIS is absolutely heinous. WHAT was she thinking? It鈥檚 painfully obvious she鈥檚 NOT ready to be anyone鈥檚 mother!! You were posted about your concerns about starting a family with her - and now you know, REALLY know what kind of person she is and that THIS is not the kind of person you鈥檇 want to build a family together with!!! Best wishes for the future!!
