A 36-year-old woman who found out that her husband was having an affair with his employee has revealed how she fell in love with the mistress’s husband.
Writing on Reddit, the woman explained that she and her 38-year-old husband have a 6-year-old daughter who is ‘everything to me.’
But about a year ago, she found out that her husband was sleeping with his female employee, 30, after the mistress’s husband called her.
Jim, 35, sent her proof of messages as well as dates of the times the two were in hotels.
The woman said that she knew the other woman. “She’d been nothing but kind and pleasant towards me and she always doted on my daughter,” she explained.
But after the heartbreaking news, she and Jim decided to meet to talk about how they will confront their other halves.
Explaining her current situation, she wrote: “I’m currently not working after the pandemic I lost my job and now the economy I haven’t really had any opportunity to find job.
“Instead I’ve been studying these past 2 years. If I divorce now I won’t be able to provide for my daughter.”
The mistress’s husband had three other children so he understood the situation. They now agreed to wait until they are stable enough before confronting their partners.
Then they decided to keep in touch and made sure to call each other a few times a week.
“Afterwards we started going for walks, coffee movies etc. I found myself thinking about him often with a smile on my face,” she went on.
“He was the first thing I thought of in the morning and the last thing I thought of before going to bed.
“For the last three to four months we probably mentioned our spouses one or twice. We talk about everything else and he always makes me laugh (he thinks I’m funny too).”
While they were having a picnic, Jim told her: “I think that I’m in love with you.”
“When he then explained himself it just drove the point that I also am in love with him,” the woman added.
But now, she doesn’t know what to do next as she still needs to secure her job and leave her marriage.
“Am I pathetic for wanting to give J and I a shot and see where it would go? Can two broken hearts really find happiness together when their love story started like ours?” she asked.
People on Reddit were quick to share their thoughts on the matter, with one person writing: “You are absolutely not pathetic and I think it’s wonderful something beautiful came out of a horrible situation. It’s definitely complicated though and won’t be easy, so I wish you luck. I hope it works out, op!”
