A 38-year-old woman shared her emotional story of falling in love with a married man, believing their connection could overcome any obstacle. When they first met at a company event, he confided that his marriage was unhappy and that he would leave his wife once his children were older. Trusting his words, she became deeply involved in an affair that lasted two years until it was discovered, leading to his divorce. Despite the turmoil, she stood by him, convinced their love was worth the pain they caused.

After the separation, they moved in together and began rebuilding their lives. Though his ex-wife was devastated, she remained civil for their children’s sake. For a while, everything seemed to fall into place — the kids accepted her, and the couple planned their wedding. However, the ex-wife’s heartbreak soon turned into desperation. She frequently called and emailed her former husband, pleading for another chance. He claimed to have moved on, reassuring his new fiancée that his loyalty belonged to her, though guilt still shadowed him.

Then, things took an unexpected turn. The ex-wife stopped contacting him directly and began seeing one of his old friends — a man he’d lost touch with after the affair. Around the same time, the woman discovered she was pregnant, but instead of joy, her fiancé grew distant and irritable. He came home late, glued to his phone, and seemed lost in thought. The situation reached a breaking point when she received a call from the police — he had been arrested after showing up at his ex-wife’s house and attacking her new boyfriend.

Seeing how far things had fallen, the woman finally realized the cost of their relationship. Her fiancé began therapy, but their bond was beyond repair. With a baby to raise and a heart full of regret, she made the painful decision to leave. “I thought love could conquer everything,” she wrote, “but I was wrong. Some love stories aren’t meant to last — especially those built on someone else’s heartbreak.”
