A pregnant woman has been left devastated after discovering her husband's affair with her own mum. The 26-year-old stumbled upon explicit messages between the pair on her husband's phone, leaving her unsure whether to confront them about their secret relationship.

She revealed on Reddit: "I have found out my husband, 30, is having sex with my mother, 52. I honestly don't know how to react. I'm four months pregnant and I'm trying not to stress since it's bad for the baby." She had suspicions about her husband's infidelity, but never imagined the 'other woman' would be her own mother.

She recalled how thrilled he was when she announced her pregnancy, showering her with affection. But his behaviour changed drastically two weeks later. She said: "He was kissing me and telling me how lucky he was to have me but now he's changed. About two weeks after my surprise announcement, he stopped hugging me and kissing me like usual."

"He stopped eating the meals I'd make for him after work and said he already ate some fast food or something. I also noticed he had changed his lock screen which was a picture of us. Not sure if that meant anything to be honest. I found out three days ago. I went through his phone while he was in the shower and found text messages, videos, and pictures.

"I'm sick to my stomach thinking about what I saw. I saw pictures of my mum in lingerie and he was replying with pictures of his penis." But what hurt the most was a message sent from her mum confessing her deep love for him - saying her daughter would just have to learn to accept they're made for each other.

She added: "He had said that maybe they should stop since he didn't want to hurt me but my mum said I wouldn't get hurt as long as they kept it all a secret. But what angered me the most was the message she sent a few days ago. I'll quote it here so anyone reading this can get an idea of how serious their affair is and has been."

"It read: 'I love you so much. More than you think. You've helped me through the passing of my beloved ex-husband and for that I truly thank you. I know it is hard for you to keep a secret like this, and for me, it is too. I love my daughter with all my heart but she will have to accept eventually that love is love and that the heart wants what it wants. Our hearts want each other. I thought that ever since my husband died, nobody would ever love me because I'm just an old woman but you have shown me to love myself and made me feel young and sexy again. let's keep having fun and cherishing each other'."

The woman said her dad passed away five years ago and her mum refused to date again because he was her "forever love and only and only." She found out her husband cheated on her after reading a message: "It's absolute bull**** I'm crushed and it's the fact that I know they had sex after that message because that was the night he didn't come home until 1 in the morning due to 'work and paid overtime.'"

"I actually threw up after reading that message. I have screenshots of the messages and have sent the videos to myself. Of course, I deleted them on his phone so it looked like he never sent me anything. I'm numb. I'm confused. I'm hurt so bad. I can't even cry because I refuse to believe it. My husband is at work."

"I'm desperate for just a little bit of anything really. This baby in me is honestly the only thing preventing me from confrontation. I'm afraid that confronting them now will cause too much stress and anger and I want the best for my child. At this point, all I want to do is have my baby."

A commenter responded to her story: "They are both disgusting and do not love you as they claim. Expose both of them and see how strong their love for each other is. Do not keep their secrets. But before confronting, first, talk to a lawyer. This is a massive betrayal and I am sorry you are going through this."

One user advised: "Contact a lawyer. Organize your finances. Map out a game plan. If there is someone you can trust, maybe move in with them. Don't keep this to yourself. Once you know what you're going to do (leave, kick him out), let everyone know what has been going on. Do not let them get away with this." Another commenter stated: "Your mother loves you with all her heart yet she's sleeping with your husband? You don't need that witch or that lowlife husband in your life, just break free and be happy with your baby."
