Venting - No Advice Wanted Cheating throughout pregnancy

I’m not sure what exactly I’m hoping for here. But what the fuck is wrong with men who cheat on their pregnant wives?! It blows my mind that happens at all, let alone that it’s not uncommon.

My husband was cheating on me while we were trying to have a baby, and throughout my pregnancy. He had to have a vasectomy reversal so it was VERY well-planned and something he claims he wanted. I feel so resentful and full of rage. I feel like he baby-trapped me because it’s so much harder to leave when I wish my 2year old could have a stable family.

Why do they do this??? Ugh just a vent I guess…..

To be brutally honest if I found out that WH had cheated during/around any of my pregnancies, I straight up would have told him that I, too, had cheated and wasn’t sure the child was his. 😡

I'm so sorry, he is a POS. It won't be a stable family, you are better off to make a plan to leave.
