    Font - I was trying to post in relationshipadvice but I guess I'll post here again because my account is "too new". I (36m) posted about what happened on another sub. Terrible mistake to ask reddit for advice, but they did open my eyes to the absurdity of the situation.

    Font - tldr, I got images from a guy, "Rob", who claimed to have had a long running affair and young child with my wife of 17 years. I had a bit of a breakdown, and talked to my uncle's husband who's a divorce attorney to get proceedings started.

    Font - Before filing, I decided to talk to my daughter (16F) who is a "techie" because I started to suspect the pictures were fake after comments on Reddit talking about how unreasonable it all sounded and if I was "sure Rob was telling the truth". My daughter's done a lot of work with photo editing and graphic design. I didn't really want to get my kids involved, but I trust her.

    Font - She started calling me an idiot almost immediately and started talking about deep fakes. She echoed a lot of concerns other people mentioned. My wife calls us multiple times a day when she's away+ when would she find the time to have a second family!

    Font - Anyway, I threw the papers away, and decided it was some kind of elaborate prank, but my wife found the papers while going through recycling and started screaming at me.

    Font - I showed her the images I received and the texts, but she is offended I didn't trust her. She is saying I should have come to her first, and to immediately resort to divorce without proof is ridiculous. But come on!!! I saw pictures of you with another man and "your" kid!!! That was my "proof"!!

    Font - Anyway, she's staying with a friend right now and is declining all my calls. She said I should fish the papers out of the recycling, because they might still have a use to them. Is there any way I can make my wife see my side? I was genuinely so blindsided and heartbroken.

    Font - Existing Winter5679. 13 hr. ago Uh, how the would your wife have a young child with this man? You've been together 17 years and she somehow lived with you and shared a bed with you and managed to hide an entire pregnancy for 9 months and then go give birth and leave the baby with this other guy without you noticing anything odd? 144 Reply Share ...

    Font - LeadingSlight8235. 11 hr. ago I saw on the last post people theorizing the story was made up. I thought yeah maybe. But this follow up making it about Photoshop and deep fakes leaves me completely convinced op isn't real, has no wife and no daughter and the entire thing is fake.

    Font - C_A_P_U_C_H_I_N_O. 12 hr. ago I feel like you already betrayed the trust your wife had in you and even if you let her have some time for herself, she will still be having trust issues, so unless you sit down and talk like the adults you are, there's nothing else that can help. (also as someone else said here, how could she have another kid when she has been with you for so long... Don't you think a pregnant belly and hormones it's hard to hide...?)

    Font - Unlucky_Wrongdoer_34. 11 hr. ago How would that even make sense? You believed that your wife of 17 years has a young child? It's ridiculous to even entertain the idea that she would be able hide a pregnancy, give birth and keep the child away without raising suspicion. You need to look into therapy ASAP because I doubt that this is the only issue in your relationship. Give her space and hope that she forgives you. Marriage counseling would also help.

    Font - TripleAWingingIt. 13 hr. ago You need counseling for your deep seeded insecurities. Either that or you have some serious anger issues. Clearly you had issues before or you would have immediately questioned the pictures and the idea of your wife having a whole family on the side. A man? Maybe. It would impossible for a woman to hide a pregnancy for 9 months, plus a birth.

    Font - I suggest you get into counseling and forget getting your wife back-- for now. Because right now, you aren't a good candidate for Any relationship. If you really love your wife you'll realize she's worth more than who you are in your current condition, and deserves more than a man who would treat her that way after 17 years.

    Font - If you lose her, sorry. But maybe after you get your head screwed on straight you might be a man deserving of a new relationship. TBH, I wouldn't take you back.
