I’m pregnant by a man I thought loved me — but he turned out to be married with two kids. By our second date, he promised he’d leave his wife of 15 years and build a future with me. I believed him, until last night when his wife called.
Her voice was calm, almost kind, as she revealed the truth: I wasn’t the first woman he deceived, and he never intended to leave his family. She said she’d known for months but stayed silent to protect her children. Instead of anger, she offered me honesty, support, and even resources to help me move forward.
This morning, I walked away. I’m choosing a life of truth and peace for myself and my baby. The road ahead won’t be easy, but thanks to a woman who had every reason to hate me — and instead chose compassion — I’ve found the strength to start over.
