'Tired' husband needed break from family but now has another child on the way
A mother of two, whose husband decided he didn't want the responsibility of having a wife and kids, has now discovered that he's a liar in addition to being a cheat after he confessed that he has a new girlfriend who is pregnant with his child.
Taking to social media for advice on what to do, the heartbroken 46-year-old woman explained that she and her partner had been together for more than 20 years and married for 16. The couple also has two children aged 16 and nine and up until a few months ago, everything had been fine.
However, one day he told her that he'd had enough of being a husband and father, and went to live with his parents, subsequently having the time of his life as a bachelor, dating, drinking, and playing video games. He even met another woman who became his girlfriend and he told his wife that he would be leaving her permanently.
She shared on Reddit that he had left her to care for their two kids on her minimum wage job, and a collection of unpaid bills going back months. She wrote: "After that, I fell into a depressive episode that lasted two months and my two close friends managed to get me out of it."
However, instead of cutting ties cleanly, about three months after he left, the woman said that he started to make efforts to integrate himself back into their family. She wrote: "He started coming to our city, hanging out with the kids again and also with me, inviting me out for drinks and dinner. All was going well and my 16-year-old went on a week-long trip with him."

According to the woman, her husband even confessed to her that he had lied about having a girlfriend as he had needed time to clear his head. She thought things might be getting back on track. However, one evening after she had texted him to say 'good night', he replied: "I don't deserve your love. I'm about to become a dad again. I'm sorry." She added: "I later called him to ask what he meant by that and he told me that he has a girlfriend in another country who is pregnant with his kid. She plans to keep it and he wants to cut ties with me and our kids to care for that child.
"I don't know what to do. I requested a divorce but he declined saying he was not ready. Can anyone give me advice regarding this situation? Can I divorce him anyway, even though he doesn't want to do it? Is there any way I can secure payments to my kids, since with only my job I can barely make ends meet for the basics? I do some odd jobs here and there but it's not enough."
Other users of the site all agreed that she had to find a lawyer as soon as possible, with one advising her: "He doesn’t want to divorce because he’ll be ordered to pay child support. He’s not ready to actually support his kids is basically what he’s telling you. Then when this all blows up in his face (which it will), you’ll get to laugh in his face and cash his checks while he’s begging to get back together.
Another said: "Speak with an attorney asap. He doesn't want a divorce because he doesn't want to help with the kids. File for divorce and request child support and alimony," while a third told her: "Even if you guys are split why the hell is he not financially contributing to your kids’ needs?? He doesn’t get to just up and leave and you deal with everything. If he wants to leave then adios but he has to financially support/assist. You need to talk to someone to take the next steps. Ask the friends that helped you before to navigate the lawyer process with you."
