Just a week before our honeymoon, his mom was diagnosed with cancer. I offered to cancel the trip, but he insisted that I go.
On the third day, while scrolling through Instagram, I saw a photo of my husband hugging a woman. The caption read, “Supporting each other through tough times! #familyfirst.” My heart sank, and panic set in.
I called him, demanding an explanation. He told me the woman was Sarah, his colleague, who had come to support him and his mom. I felt a mix of anger and jealousy but decided to give him the benefit of the doubt.
On my last day, I reached out to him again, trying to understand the situation better. Instead of reassurance, he sounded distant. “Sarah has been a huge support for me. She understands what I’m going through,” he said. I felt uneasy but brushed it off as stress from his mom’s illness.
When I returned home, I prepared to confront him about everything, hoping to clear the air. Instead, he sat me down and said, “I need to be honest. I’ve developed feelings for Sarah. I never thought this would happen, but she has been there for me in a way that I needed.”
My heart dropped as he continued, “I think it’s best for us to part ways. Family comes first, and I feel like I’ve betrayed my mom by focusing on us. I need to be with someone who truly understands my struggles.”
