[@TheEvilSmiler37]

Yeah atleast she realised her mistake 😊

[@anivijudi]

I think she thought like that before having kids and being a working adult. Like her fantasies of what life would be ten years later when she was in her early twenties or something. And then life happened and other things took priority. It sounds to me as if she was very focused on having a good work/personal life balance but then forgot to make room for the kids in her routine when she had them. These weeks of introspection made her both realise the sort of parent she was and remember the sort of parent she wanted to be. Tbh she sounds amazing, not everyone can put the work into changing their ways so much even when they see the damage their doing.

[@lindah3803]

They get rapped in themselves. In their work,in their activities. They don't consider what all is actually happening for the outcome they see on a daily. Then they begin to ignore. Fortunately for OP,her eyes were forced to open. When she had to step in and do all the things her hubby handled. Unusual as it is,she looked at what she was doing. How much interaction she actually had with her family. She realized that she didn't even know what her daughter liked or wanted. That was the slap in the face that woke her up. She also realized that all she did was nag at her hubby. She just demanded. She didn't show him any kind of appreciation or affection. She actually got lucky. The quarantine forced her to see and do a lot. She has a ton to make up for. She also needs to look more into why she was considering cheating instead of really looking at her hubby and herself. Hubby has a lot to consider as well. Especially with finding her post. Learning how she considered him a "Man child" and her thinking about cheating. They're going to need quite a bit of couples counseling and individual counseling. They are off to a good start.

This is the dream everyone with a narcissistic partner hopes for. I'm so happy for the husband his wife turned out to be oblivious and not a narc.

[@trenae77]

It’s also a reflection of how easy it is to get caught in our own world and perceptions and not realize what is happening around us. For everyone wanting to trash the wife in this; she was seeing her reality when an emergency caused her to readjust for the moment. In that time, she saw life from a different angle that let her view what she had been missing before. The same thing happened for the husband. I think that is what so many are missing when they want to put the lion’s share of blame on the wife. The husband was silently planning separation himself. Nothing said indicates that either of them went to the other with their concerns before quarantine caused an involuntary shift, but thankfully for them both they were willing to pursue the new reality presented and resolve their past errors.

[@thatdiamondofhope]

Kudos for her admitting it, I guess, but, it doesn't make much sense. Did she think her dinner magically cooked itself? The laundry hopped, skipped, and jumped into the washer? The dishes shimmied up to the soapy sponge on their own? Where did she think her kids were while she was watching tv?

This lady was delusional and completely detached from reality. How the hell she could believe her husband was lazy and neglectful while she was amazing and contemplated an affair cause she "deserved better" is legit beyond me.

Based on this post, her husband seems like basically a perfect husband and father, so her twisted view of things suggests some deeply flawed issues with her entire way of thinking.

This is more of a why do PEOPLE do this. Men and women alike somehow turn to cheating when they feel their partners aren’t right for them. It’s foolishness. Just leave. No reason to step out 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@dragonthewolf8106]

I think people do it because they are actually hurting. They feel like they are too good for their partner because they are feeling hurt that their partner isn’t doing enough for them, even tho they themselves are likely the one not doing enough as seen in this story, and instead of talking about it and being open and vulnerable they just want to either hurt their partner or get that excitement without losing the stability and routine they already have with their partner. It’s very interesting from a psychological view on why cheating happens like that, but I’m glad she realized that she was the problem and actually worked on fixing it.

I'm glad she improved her behavior and way of thinking. Mistakes don't make the person, how you handle them does.

Idk you, but can I say.. I am just so so proud of you. It takes one hell of a woman to even admit these things.. much less commit to fixing them. In an age of “men ain’t shit” and “fuck them kids”, it’s so easy for us women to fall victim to the trap in which you found yourself - on the brink of throwing away your entire marriage and family rather than putting in the necessary effort. It’s so so lovely to hear you celebrate your beautiful life in this way, and the pride you take in becoming a wonderful wife and mother is inspiring. We need more voices like yours amidst all the lies fed to our youth these days. 💔❤️‍🩹❤️‍🔥

W mother for realising her mistakes

[@cynfulangel]

I'm really happy she was able to reflect on herself and truly work things out

[@graceray2283]

It’s nice to hear a heartwarming ending to one of these stories.

[@TheWallowingMadman27]

The dad is the definition of a real man. I’m glad she realized how she was as a parent instead of just automatically assuming she’s right.

"Thought about having an affair." Man, no way I could trust her.

[@lozmaster6441]

This story genuinely makes me so giddy, I love it. 10/10

[@DoctorBored357]

"My husband does literally everything for me and I was going to cheat on him" sounds about right.

[@Pebble_.678]

He’s the best dad ever

[@simoncameron4355]

Yep, Quarantine did the exact opposite to me and my ex, and she continued to treat me more and more like a child (While I was doing most of the cooking and cleaning, and paying all the bills) After 4 years of explaining I needed help around the house and to not talk so negatively about me to her friends, I finally ended it. It makes me sad but I know I could not have waited another 4 years before she caught on (If she ever did).

[@ArchiesMom518]

Hey I'm glad you picked up on that before it was too late. Not a lot of people do and try to make a full-blown change

[@Gothams_Knight]

Its great that she didnt broke her family and tried to improve herself and see her mistakes

[@firelord1607]

I'm so happy to hear things going well 😭👍

[@themostrandompersonever7166]

The millisecond you think “it’s affair time” is the same millisecond you really need to step back and take in the bigger picture. Self absorption is truly a killer of relationships. Cause you won’t acknowledge what they do when your so absorbed in it unless you watch them 24/7 and witness every deed they do, you will always undervalue what the people around you do, even then, they still say “well that’s easy” well then do it yourself?

W mom at the end w husband at the beginning and end

[@toribouse2764]

I can’t get over how terrible of a human being this woman was before her epiphany, and I’m so happy for the husband to finally have his wife back. I do feel bad for the kids though. To be 11 years old with a neglectful mother who suddenly wants to be involved can be very confusing. Her kids will likely always prefer their father, and ultimately he deserves that. I just wish my own mother decided to put in effort. Sadly, she stayed like this woman. She divorced my father when my sister and I were babies and stayed just as horrendous as this woman was before the pandemic while my father is like this father. Definitely all hit home. It’s probably why I’m honestly really angry with that woman for being so awful and believing herself the victim for so long.

2:18 "that rock looks cool" my mind: France

[@XanderKuro]

It's sad that so many people consider cheating or separating WAY before they think of putting in effort and open dialogue. I'm glad they fixed things and became much happier for it, as more people should.

[@JasonTeach]

Most shitty parents and partners never come to the realization that this lady did.

[@antoinealez12]

I hope the husband has an affair of his own. She was really thinking about having an affair

[@AnonUnkwn]

Wait. It's starts off by saying she thought he was a bad husband even though she knew he did everything related to the children and worked a full-time job? Man that's insane to ever think badly of someone who can do that.
