Help! My Husband’s Affair Just Blew Up in My Face
Hey everyone,
I really need some advice right now. I’m feeling completely lost and don’t know who else to turn to. So, here’s the deal: My husband, Albert, and I have been married for over 25 years. We’ve had our ups and downs, but I thought we were solid. That is, until today.
Out of nowhere, I get this call from a woman named Eva. She tells me to stop interfering with “their happiness” and that she’s been seeing Albert for a while now. She even had the nerve to say that they are in love and that I should just step aside. I’m absolutely devastated and don’t know what to do next.
Albert and I have built a life together. We have two kids, Jacob and Ellie, who are both in college. I can’t even begin to think about how this will affect them. And then there’s the fact that Albert and I just celebrated our 50th birthdays together. This is supposed to be a time of joy and reflection, not betrayal and heartbreak.
I haven’t confronted Albert yet because I’m still in shock. Part of me wants to scream at him, while another part of me just wants to curl up in a ball and cry. How do I even begin to address this? Should I talk to him first or go straight to a lawyer? Do I tell the kids? And what about Eva? Should I confront her or just let it go?
Please, if anyone has been through something similar or has any advice on how to handle this, I’m all ears. I feel like my world is falling apart, and I don’t know how to pick up the pieces.
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
