Husband cheating

Today I found out that my husband is cheating I don’t know if I should tell him and end it all or pretend nothing has happened. I have a almost 3 year old and a newborn 1 months old, since we’ve been married I’ve been pregnant and just raising kids we haven’t lived or connected in the marriage as dealing with kids has been difficult. Mentally and physically I am a wreck I’ve just had a newborn that gives me no time or sleep and I’m dealing with my toddlers traumas at moment and I don’t feel the power to end this marriage in this mental state but I don’t know how I can stay silent. What would you do?

Oh bless you :( I'm so sorry! I have an August '22 baby and a 1 month old too... Here to chat if you want to. It's definitely hard juggling both and this is not what you need / deserve on top of that! Sending you lots of love xxx

If the only thing keeping you in the relationship is the fear of feeling guilty - guilty for breaking up the family, for disrupting your child’s life, or for no longer being able to hold things together, then it’s important to ask yourself this: Will staying protect them, or will it just quietly destroy you? Guilt is a feeling. It rises, it peaks, and with time, it fades, especially when it's undeserved. Resentment, on the other hand, is corrosive. It festers. It seeps into your tone, your presence, your parenting, and eventually your peace. So if the choice is between guilt now or resentment forever, choose guilt. Guilt you can process, reflect on, even grow from. But resentment? That leaks into everything and everyone, including the children you’re trying so hard to protect. You don’t have to stay in a situation that dishonours you. Your child doesn’t need a perfect family. But they need a whole mother. If it was me, I would leave.

Babes plot and plan - don’t end the relationship based on emotions… if that’s what you choose… get as much as you can from the marriage financially so if you do decide to leave you have a soft landing. Tooo many women screwed over by a man cheating when she is pregnant or post partum and she isn’t strong enough to deal with this shit…
