The man opened his post with the heartbreaking admission: “Well fellas, I have been cooked for a while now as this was a few years ago but I still suffer the effects every single day.”
He explained that in 2023, his girlfriend of a decade allegedly had a six-month affair with his older sister’s husband. According to his account, the families were incredibly close.
“We were together since high school, built a house and have 2 gorgeous girls together who have been my only saving grace throughout this ordeal,” he wrote, adding that they all lived in the same neighbourhood and shared what he described as a “huge amazing family dynamic” with mutual friends.
The situation reportedly came to light after he noticed changes in his partner’s behaviour. He claimed she had begun hiding her phone and acting more secretive than usual. When he finally confronted her, she admitted to the affair, revealing that the other person involved was his own brother-in-law.

Following the confession, he said he immediately asked her to leave their home.
According to his post, she initially stayed with a friend and appeared largely unfazed until a later meeting involving everyone. There, he claimed his brother-in-law said the affair “hadn’t meant anything” to him and that he was not planning to leave his marriage for her.
How the Alleged Betrayal Took a Serious Toll on His Mental Health
Despite the devastating revelation, the man said he eventually allowed his former partner to move back in, hoping they could repair their relationship. He claimed they spent nearly two years attempting reconciliation before ending things for good in October.
Reflecting on that period, he wrote that he managed to continue only because he was abusing medical THC and CBD while also taking antidepressants, sleeping pills and benzodiazepines.

Since then, he said he has stopped relying on those substances, moved in with his mother alongside his two daughters, and is now focused on rebuilding his life.
The Reddit post prompted hundreds of supportive responses.
One commenter wrote, “What a really evil person to do this to family? Stay positive and don’t lose hope.” Another user replied, “Right? Like damn do they even consider the potential fallout or consequences before making that kind of selfish and shortsighted shit? Talk about torching bridges, that family is going to be dealing with the fallout for years.”
A third commenter added, “I’m amazed you’d even want to try and date again after experiencing what you have.”
