Cheating breaks all the trust in a marriage.

This woman has caught his husband cheating one too many times.

So she has emotionally left their relationship.

Even though they are facing a health crisis in their family.

Read the full story below for all the details.

AITA- Leaving my husband during a life changing event

I (29F) have been with my husband (30M) for 10 years, married for 8.

We have two daughters (7 and 4).

He’s cheated multiple times.

But he has always denied or downplayed it, even when I had proof.

This woman has forgiven her husband for cheating in the past.

I’ve forgiven him more times than I can count.

And I have slowly lost myself in the process.

I handle everything, the house, kids, and finances.

I suffer from anxiety, so I often avoid conflict and let things slide.

She caught him again, and now she’s done.

Most recently, I caught him texting a co-worker intimately.

And he’s planning to hook up.

He claimed it wasn’t physical, but I saw the messages.

I told him I was done.

He broke down, begged me not to leave, and said it was a mistake.

But I just feel numb and angry.

Things in their family took a turn for the worse.

Things got even harder.

The same day, I found out, our daughter was rushed to the hospital.

She was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.

Caring for her now takes all our time and attention.

She still depends on him.

He’s the only one I can really depend on right now.

He thinks that crying with me during the crisis somehow fixes everything.

I’ve emotionally checked out.

I don’t feel love, just disappointment.

But she has emotionally distanced herself from her husband.

But with my daughter’s condition, I’m scared of making a huge change.

Because it could hurt her even more.

I don’t know if I’m wrong for emotionally distancing myself.

But I’m still depending on him day-to-day.

She feels trapped.

I feel trapped between what I owe myself and what’s best for my kids.

Should I keep trying?

Or is it okay to leave emotionally even if I can’t leave physically right now?

Let’s see what others have to say about this.
