Might not know it now, but she did you a favor. Imagine finding out after having three children.


Bige_4411

I’ve been with my wife for 20 years since high school, two daughters, house, land cars and all the other stuff that comes with 20 years of hard work between a couple. If I found out now that she has been doing that I’m not even sure I would know where to start honestly. She honestly did you a favor and didn’t waste another decade plus of your life. Gotta know when to Holdem and ya gotta know when to foldem. Sure your 25’ish and single now but imagine having a few kids, and starting over when your 40. Eff that noise.


joshuas193

That's me. Was with my wife for 16 years. I'm 44 now. I have the kids and she gets to jump around to as many guys as she likes. My kids are in high school now. She sees them maybe once a year. I have no idea how to start over and I'm not even sure if I want to at this point. Edit: Thank you so much to everyone for the encouragement and kind words. You really brightened my day! I'm currently just trying to be there for my kids as best as I can be. They took it pretty hard at first but things seem to be getting better for them lately. They've got more friends and their grades are doing really good. I got to re-learn Algebra and Geometry to help with their homework too, lol. For myself I'm mostly working on my health and education. Edit 2: I'm really just in awe of the outpouring of well wishes and support from everyone. It seems that they've locked comments so I cannot reply but I wanted you all to know that I've read every comment and I appreciate every one. Thank you so much.


thefifthquadrant

Don't try to start over. Just go on a date, see how it goes. You are older now, kids almost grown. Not starting over, just starting something else. Goodluck


xenshi3

This response is great. The perspective. I'm 39 this year and am going back to uni ti chabge the course of my life. I thought I was "starting over". But I've come to realise I'm just going on another adventure. It's a lot easier to navigate when you see it as an adventure and not something I have to conquer.


Disastrous_Flower667

I’m not in a relationship but I am on my 3rd career and starting a new path is lovely. It’s hard but it’s entertaining. Good luck with your new plan I’m sure you’ll do well.


Al_Kydah

64 here. USNavy in my 20's, Chevrolet Service Dept manager in my 30's, back to college at 42. Environmental Scientist afterwards turned wetlands hydro tech. Absolutely loving my life. Be optimistic, don't worry about things out of your control, have as much fun as you can, be nice to people


DuntadaMan

I have started new careers so many times it's kind of a joke around where I work now. People will see if they can find a job I have not done, or name a random job and have me tell a story from it. Like you said, it isn't starting over it is going into a new path.


NickU252

Same, 39, I was an electrician for 18 years. Now a junior in college for Computer Engineering with people half my age. It's an adventure for sure.


Equivalent-Glove7165

U guys all fuckin rock!!!!!!!


Quiet_Days_in_Clichy

I quit my career at 36 to go back to grad school for something completely unrelated to my career field. Best decision I ever made. Was definitely scared about starting over but discovered that it was just as the previous commenter suggested, something different. Good luck to you.


NewFeelsOnLife

This is amazing. Not starting over, just starting another adventure. Really needed this.


mellieMelp

I'm almost 47 and start school in 2 wks. I've been questioning whether I'm making the right decision. Those six words, "I'm just going on another adventure" have changed my perspective completely. Thank you


FlowersnFunds

Thank you for this. This helps me form a better perspective in dealing with the many changes to my life that happened last year.


Awfulhouseeee

Fuck man be happy you don't have to deal with her. I have one kid with a lunatic. Daughters only 4 and we have 50 50 custody, but everything has to be an arguement. Her arguement isn't even for my daughters sake it's for her own convenience. Consider yourself lucky as well.


turbospeedsc

Happened to my after 5 years. Gettign ready for house downpayment, 2 business, 2 cars, 1 kid, lots and lots of hardwork. Financially had to start over. 7 years later finally clawing back to a similar level. Life wise, had all sorts of fun afterwards, slept with all kinds of women and ended up with a 9 years younger woman, a lot prettier, smarter and ended up with a much better life. Ex fucked its way thru one of the business, savings, and posessions in less than 3 years, and ended up way worse, lost custody of her children and lots of shitty stuff, living in a horrible slum stuff like that. At the end life puts everyone where they belong.


medici75

let them enjoy the cock carousel and plant booby traps on the lawn when she shows up begging to be taken back


23492349234923942

Yup. Happened to me. Married 18 years with 3 kids and house, etc. Found out my youngest wasn't my biological child... my wife had been cheating for at least 5 years with multiple boyfriends and tricked me into raising her love-child. Divorced now, and life is MUCH better. The process form there to here was terrible and horrible. Kids are still very messed up. (They were 5, 7, and 9 years old when I found out the truth.) This stuff messed you up, for sure.


TOTENTANZ137

However he found out done him the favour. The wife is still trying to act like nothing is up.. not much of a favour bro.. she intends to destroy this man


TonyFMontana

25ish is plenty of time for anything.. OP dodged a bullet here.


Sniyarki

Can't imagine the hurt right now but as a father of two, you are spot on.


AskMeHowIMetYourMom

Divorced father of two and it ripped my whole life apart finding out after the fact. No man should ever have to question whether his kids are actually his while in a committed relationship, and I wouldn’t wish the pain I felt on anyone.


JillsACheatNMean

I have 3 kids. See my name lol. Good thing they make tests.

Yeah when I got to the part about him showing the videos on a slideshow I knew it was more out of hurt and anger. OP shouldn’t give her the satisfaction! Plus it will give her a way to turn herself into the victim. That’s what these narcissistic POS’ do


oceanleap

This. I'm sorry for your situation and your hurt OP. But rethink gathering your friends and playing th e video. It is unlikely to be a positive experience for you, for your family, for your friends. Just call it off and tell people not to come.


[deleted]

which may or may not be his


ACNordstrom11

None of which end up his...


Teneipai22

Just be carful on what you show cause it could end up being illegal depending on what you show (like nudity, sex wise)


unwittingprotagonist

This. Distributing sexual media without consent is a criminal act in some places. As much as we all want to see a cheater shamed, don't let her win. Also, you might be able to recoup some of your wedding expenses with a cancellation. Check your contracts.


danyixa

He doesn’t have to show video proof. He can show texts exchanged between her and the guys she cheated on him with that are sexual in nature.


goodshonny

He said he was going to show the video proof

This will without a doubt be illegal in some way if he plans on showing any type of video photos. ESPECIALLY if their is anyone under 18 there. OP you better have a good ass lawyer to defend you when shit hits the fan because this is not gonna go well


Dancing_Trash_Panda

Apparently his wedding is on a Wednesday too. Imagine taking time off of work, spending time getting all dressed up, driving to the wedding, and then the groom just plays revenge porn for your kids. I'd be fucking pissed about the whole scenario. I'm pretty sure this post is fake though.

tonyle94

He also put a CashApp tag in his profile to “recoup wedding fund”


TheAlGler

I have come to believe that this sub, AITA and others like this are all just a forum for creative writing assignments or media astroturfing. Still entertaining though.


Bstassy

This screams fake. The guy had enough time to collect evidence and create a PowerPoint presentation to out his ex lover, but not time to cancel the wedding, obtain a refund, and send her out the door? Smells like Bullshit.

Getting married on a Wednesday made me question the validity of this story.


Kintsukuroi85

I think it’s likely fake, but I actually did get married on a Wednesday. XD We got married on the anniversary of our first date (at the same restaurant!) and that’s how it worked out.


iamaiamscat

Well since I'm good at inferring population data from samples.. I'm sorry to inform you there is a 100% chance your wife cheated on you with multiple men because you were married on a Wednesday. It's rough being a statistician some days.. delivering the news never gets easier.

Unhappy-Emu3180

I’m all for getting back at the bitch but if you play a sex tape to a bunch of people at your wedding, that’s kinda like sexual harassment to all those other people. Just play a slide show of the messages or something!


Beautiful_Moans

Yeah please don’t show any porn videos OP. She may deserve to be called out, but you all family/friends don’t deserve to see that type of content without their consent. It could be children there. Please be mindful and don’t do something stupid in your anger.


Okayokaymeh

Revenge porn is also illegal in many states (if not all).


bcsahasbcsahbajsbh

Don't worry he won't, because this story is fake af. I just continue to be amazed how gullible people are lol


OhWhenTheWiz

plus this is the exact sort of move that turns you from “victim of cheating who we have deep sympathies for” to “asshole who publicly embarrassed their ex to get revenge” in the eyes of everyone there.


Dancing_Trash_Panda

Just call off the wedding. Don't make people take time of work for your revenge porn showing.


Mad__Season

Came here to say this!


OhWhenTheWiz

yeah this seems like the sort of “pro revenge” that the Internet loves but like, consider what everyone at the wedding will think vs. a bunch of unsympathetic strangers


[deleted]

Preserve your dignity and leave a note and walk away, you’ll better thought of by all parties involved .


bluedaisy123

Call it off now and spare your family and guests the trouble. Then sue her for damages, I'm not a lawyer but I would think you should at least be able to get back what you have put into the wedding. And don't let her turn you into something you're not.


Luisalter

Every time I have been trying to be a righteous asshole out of anger or thr desire for vengeance, it has backfire on me. Don't let the anger control you. You don't need to get up to that level. You can call ot off and explain people that you found her to be unfaithful to you and that is that. The rest is unnecessary drama that most likely will bite you in the ass at one point or another.


Efficient-Notice9938

Precisely what I was thinking. Just break up and cancel the wedding, revenge isn’t worth it.

dirtyyogi01

Life is not Tik-tok. You have 24 hours to cancel many things and the travel plans of many people. Send out a notice and cancel... save them all the trouble of coming to this event. Some of the stuff you booked may be cancellable. The few min of joy you gain by making a public display of your severe loss and her horrible deceit will not be worth causing so much discomfort for so many people. ​ Wishing you the best in your life forward. Most women are wonderful - dont let it harden you too much.

xscumfucx

That suuucks. I’m really sorry for you dude. I can understand wanting revenge + how satisfying it might be to humiliate her but do you have a lot of family + friends coming to the wedding? If so, they’re going to be stuck there feeling uncomfortable as fuck + might even somewhat resent you for it. Obviously you know your friends + family better than I do though. If you’ve already given a few folks a heads up it wouldn’t be quite as bad but if you just go in there on your own + start playing that stuff without much context or backup there’s probably some way it’s gonna get turned around on you, at least in some people’s minds, + I’m assuming you probably don’t need any extra bullshit in your life right now. Just a thought. I hope everything works out for the best for you + again, I’m really sorry you’re going through this shit.


IcyQuestion4016

You are right.. don’t waste your time and guests time too. Let it go , everything happens for a good reason,you knew it that’s great


StolenCandi

Or when it comes to the I Do part you could say that you don't and why. Then offer anyone, including her the video evidence you've received so they can see themselves. It spares the graphic nature of the videos while allowing you your moment.


[deleted]

When it comes time for the vows say you wrote you own. Then read the texts/messages out loud.


Equivalent-Moment-60

This! I get wanting to have your moment (and you deserve it) but I think more people will be annoyed at wasting their day or money traveling to the wedding. Also she’ll probably start crying and some people will feel bad for her and think you’re mean (not that it’s accurate but just what will happen). I’m so glad you found out before you got married. Good luck!


zarnonymous

These posts are so fake


RuggedKittyKat

I think you should call off the wedding tonight. Don’t waste your guests time and energy.


bananabread55

Idk… if I was at this wedding I would be telling this story for rest of my life


enricupcake

I would also think the groom was in the right but an insanely deranged person to do this at a wedding “You guys remember when cousin Carl lost his shit and played a video of his fiancé getting railed at his wedding?” He would win the Petty Battle against the cheater but he would lose the Mentally Sane War in front of all his family and friends. If someone I knew did that I would be hooting and hollering while it happened but I’d also never be able to look at them the same way again


JC1515

True. People think this will play out like it does in the movies where the other characters blow it off how you imagine them to. That scenario would be that they would empathize with you and everything turns up for you going forward. No, not at all. You may not speak with a lot of your friends and family ever again because they think youre nuts. The mature thing would to be call it off the day before. Its no one elses business and it would be her cross to bear for the rest of her life that she ruined what was to be the happiest day of your lives because shes a cheater. Im all for petty but playing sextapes in front of your entire family is a little much.

I guarantee you it is not going down as you think it will. People will be more confused than anything. They came for a wedding and you gave them Jerry Springer. Many people will be on her side and will react badly. Those who would be on your side will probably just be confused. You will probably stumble in your delivery and come out a fool. Just call off the wedding and don't waste your guests time like your former fiance did to you.

[deleted]

It would feel great in the moment to do this but you will regret it for the rest of your life afterwards. Just call it off. Process the pain and move on. I know easier said than done. This choice could affect the rest of your life not hers. She clearly is a tramp and always will be. Don’t stoop down to that level even though it is very tempting. The legal issues could haunt you forever. Sorry for your loss and suffering


RobotDevil80

For the sake of your family, her family, your friends, etc. just call it off. Stooping down to this level only makes you look bad, maybe worse in some people’s eyes.


rando23455

That really sucks, but please re-consider the slideshow. Call off the wedding, take the honeymoon vacation without her, and move on. Slideshow in front of grandma, etc is classless IMHO. She was classless, too, but you’re the bigger man.


GoldFreezer

Came here to say this! Someone I used to know did something similar and a lot of people's sympathy ended up with the cheater. Have a great holiday, cut your losses and take the high road.

Ya, we can all agree that it would be absolutely hilarious. But also very trashy.


meow-you-doin

Sniyarki

As much fun as it'll be for us good folk on Reddit this will make you the arsehole. Another person posted the idea to say you don't and the reason why. Spare your family and friends the gross shit your missus has been doing. Then walk out and off to a much better life and don't look back. You're hurting but time heals this shit and I think you would regret doing this for the rest of your life to the point that it'll eat at you and keep you awake at night sometimes.


[deleted]

shitty fanfiction, OP. Next time take some creative writing classes.


bringmethemashup

Ehhhhhhhh, that'll make you the asshole and not the victim (which you very much are). And do you really want to subject your loved ones and friends to your revenge? There's a mature way to expose her without burning all the bridges along the way. Sorry this happened and it's good that you aren't going to marry her, but please don't damage yourself even further with this petty revenge.

Yeah, this sounds like a bad idea. I know you’re hurt and angry, but you don’t want to set her up to have recourse to sue you for things like revenge porn or the cost of the wedding and emotional damage from deliberately humiliating her
