Welcome, women of the world wide web. What is your worst nightmare in terms of marriage? For many, their greatest fear is infidelity. Putting your trust in someone else, having children with them, and laying down the foundation to live a whole life together, only to have them betray you is a terrifying and heartbreaking notion. It is doubly offensive to discover that the affair partner is half your husband's age, and triply devastating when he decides to leave you and your children to start a new family with that other woman. This is the nightmare that our protagonist from today's story found herself in. Her ex-husband's new twin boys were only 5 months old when the family got in a car accident. The twins survived, but their parents did not, leaving our protagonist in a moral dilemma that had her posting on the internet for advice.
While our protagonist did not have any legal claim to the children, some members of her family, her ex-husband's family, and the affair partner's family had strong feelings about her adopting them. Internet commenters - some who were put up for adoption as children themselves - agreed that those faultless twins deserve parents who will love them fully and without resentment - something that our protagonist admitted she would be incapable of. Read for the full story and advice from netizens below.
