My Sister Slept With My Husband. My Parents Covered It Up Until the Baby Shower
In an ironic twist of fate, he decided to move out of my sister’s house as well, unable to bear the idea that she might have cheated on him. This part makes me laugh, though it also makes me wonder about the logic behind infidelity and people like them. How can someone so willing to cheat on their partner with another person now feel hurt because that person cheated on them?
Maybe I don’t understand jealousy in that situation because, fortunately, I’m a decent person and have never felt the urge to betray someone in such a way. The hypocrisy in him is so evident, it’s almost hilarious. But the situation doesn’t stop there because now comes the unexpected twist.
My sister’s baby has been born and, as you’d imagine, a DNA test was done immediately. It turns out my ex is not the father. The baby is the child of Lisa’s ex-friend’s husband, who also filed for divorce after discovering the affair.
What surprises me is that, despite this man being the father, there could very well have been another candidate. Knowing my sister and seeing how she’s handled herself during all of this, it wouldn’t surprise me if there were more contenders in the paternity matter. Honestly, given who my parents and sister are, this doesn’t seem strange at all for them.
For them, this is just another Tuesday. The level of chaos and drama they live with is so routine that they barely seem to care about how absurd the situation is. And no, neither my parents nor my sister have attempted to contact me since.
But this time, and just this once, I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and think that maybe it’s not that they don’t care about me as a daughter or sister. They’re probably just too busy dealing with the disaster they’ve created themselves. First, let me clarify something because it seems some people didn’t catch the sarcasm in my last update.
When I said I gave my family the benefit of the doubt, I was being sarcastic. No, I don’t think they’ve ever truly cared, and even if there hadn’t been a scandal of this magnitude, they still wouldn’t have bothered to reach out. Moving on to the update, my sister has ended up moving back into our parents’ house.
Why? Well, the biological father of her baby decided not to stay with her and, while he’s been unfaithful, I understand the decision. Staying with someone as untrustworthy as my sister sounds more like a punishment than a reward.
So, alone and with a baby, she returned to the only place where she seems to still be welcomed with open arms: our parents’ house. As for my sister’s divorce, it concluded in a favorable manner for my ex-brother-in-law. The house they shared was sold, and he doesn’t have to pay either child support or spousal support.
I think this was the best-case scenario for him. Now he can walk away from this whole mess without any financial or personal ties to my sister. It’s like life gave him a one-way ticket out, and I can’t imagine a better ending for him.
Lisa’s ex-friend has also finalized her divorce and, in terms of peace and counting the punches, it seems things have settled down. Although with everything that has happened, it’s clear that many people in this story are still deserving of another punch. For now, the physical dramas have ceased, but the memories will remain engraved in the minds of everyone involved and some on their faces.
