I need to share this because I don’t know where else to turn. My whole world just fell apart and I’m struggling to process everything that happened.
Two weeks ago I got married to my partner who is 27. I thought we were starting our life together but everything was a lie. My sister who is 17 got pregnant and wouldn’t tell anyone who the father was. My parents got suspicious and checked her phone.
That’s when we discovered my husband was having a relationship with her behind my back. Even though she’s technically old enough to consent where we live, she’s still just a teenager. The worst part is that he’s known her for two years since we started dating. She was only 15 when they first met.
Both of them keep apologizing and my husband wants to go to counseling to save our marriage. But there’s no coming back from this. I already told him I want a divorce and I’m not changing my mind.
I’m so confused about how to handle things with my sister. Part of me thinks she knew what she was doing was wrong, but she’s also just a kid. The police are now involved because the messages on her phone go back a long time. I feel sick thinking about how long this might have been going on.
I don’t know how I’m supposed to move forward from this. My family wants to do counseling together but I honestly don’t know if I can ever forgive either of them. Has anyone else been through something like this?
