Help! My Husband Brought His Lover Home While I Was at the Hospital

Hey everyone,

I really need some advice and support right now. I’m feeling completely lost and betrayed. So, here’s the deal: I was at the hospital with my son, who was really sick, and while we were there, my husband Brandon brought his lover home. Yeah, you read that right. He actually had the nerve to bring her into our house while I was dealing with our sick child.

When I found out, I was beyond furious and heartbroken. I thought my mom would be my rock in this situation, but when I told her, she didn’t support me at all. In fact, she seemed to side with Brandon! She said things like “Maybe you should have been a better wife” and “Men have needs too.” I couldn’t believe it. I feel so alone right now.

I don’t know what to do next. Should I confront Brandon and demand an explanation? Should I try to work things out for the sake of our son, or is this betrayal too big to forgive? And how do I deal with my mom’s reaction? It’s like a double betrayal.

Any advice or similar experiences would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.
