He left me for a 60 year old man :(

Jennifer

I’m am currently 6 weeks 1 day pregnant, and my husband left me, and his son. I’m so devasted, and the realism of it hasn’t hit yet. My husband is 26 and met this old 60 year old man in the bar who has muscle dystrophy. They became friends. He started helping my husband out with small things.. bought him a truck, some equipment, and helped him open his own business. I don’t know why the old man does it. I guess bc he has no family, and he’s alone. But my husband feels like he owes this man his life. Hes with him everyday Monday thru Friday even on most saturdays. Sometimes I benefit and get a free lunch.. whoopie. So turns out my husband doesn’t even work. This man pays my husband to be his “friend.” He just sits at a bar and drinks with him all day while I work, get the kids, I cook, I clean, I pay the bills, I do everything now that he has his new buddy. Recently this old man has bribed my husband with building a house next door to his... so here I’m thinking wow we are finally going to have a house, and the boys there own room... I guess that makes things better right lol!? this old man does not like me. He always makes me feel like I’m In the way but yet he always say I’m here to help both you guys, but yet your getting my husband drunk everyday, my husband would bail on me everyday bc he started getting trashed by 3pm not being able to do shit. So this starts going on then he takes my husband to New York for 2 weeks!! Two fucking weeks while once again i take care of everything... doesn’t leave me money, does nothing to make sure me and his son will be ok while he’s gone. While he’s in New York shits starts getting bad between us... he’s started getting angry with me for no reason.. starting fights, insulting me telling me I need to learn my place. Then calls a few days later apologizing explaining how stressed out he is.. stressed about what!? He’s on vacation in New York for free!? But of course it’s a business trip with no money being made. So while he’s there I’m so lucky to find out I’m finally pregnant after two years and a miscarriage. He acts so excited hopes it’s a girl!! Then when he gets back he’s home for three days gets shit faced all three days and decided that he’s over our 4 year marriage and he LEFT ME. He says I’ll TRY to be a good father to our son and then begins to tell me that he will NOT sign the second birth certificate and that’s it’s mine and he wants nothing to do with it. So that brings me to today. Two days after he left me. I can’t even begin to express how devastated and shattered I am! I feel even worse for my son and soon to be baby. I’m at loss of words and I just cry. I don’t want to be emotional bc I’m pregnant... but he just left me... like out marriage our vows all of it was nothing!!! I know I’m an independent women, and I will raise these kids on my own, but what a smack to the face. I meant nothing to my husband. I know there is a ton of gay talk among other people we know and so many people think there relationship is weird... but my husband is so straight I don’t see it... there’s no way. But at this point I have no idea what to believe. This broke me, and I’m still in fucking shock. Wtf.

UPDATE:

I just want to state how uplifting MOST of you are!!! I really appreciate the support! My husband has not known this man very long.... probably about 5-6 months, and shit didn’t start getting bad until about 4 weeks ago when he left to New York. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING FROM THIS OLD MAN. At first I thought he was INVESTING into my husbands company... helping him get on his feet. Did not realize it was going to be a bigger deal then that. The old man at first was helping him get business. At first he was someone I looked at as an Angel. Sorry if you couldn’t pick up on my sarcasm. My husband was NOT an alcoholic before this man came along. The drinking started getting out of hand in June. I thought maybe it was something we could work through. I had NO IDEA it would turn into this fucking disaster. Yes I had sex with my husband before he left to New York, bc I still loved him and he was still my husband. As for him being gay... if he is great! But I still don’t think this is the case. I think he is blinded by money and free drinks! The old mans son died at 5 years old and he would be the exact age of my husband right now. I think he looks at him as a son. I know many women who have been with the old man. He just seems lonely. My husband has already reached out to me saying he’s made a mistake. But that’s TOO BAD. I told him it’s over!!! I cannot respect a man who leaves his pregnant wife and child for money. There is no loyalty and I will not come second to the man. He’s still building my husband a home that he can live in alone or with a bunch of whores I could really careless. So that’s my update. I’m a proud single mother, and I will keep WORKING MY ASS OFF TO SUPPORT MY FAMILY. He will also have to pay his dues when this divorce is finalized!
