This Tuesday I have my final hearing for my divorce. It’s a bitter sweet moment. My husband and I have been together for five years. Last year on August 8th, 2020 my world came crashing down around me. At the moment I was 25 weeks pregnant with our rainbow baby and our first. I caught my husband sexting and cheating with no one but five different women. Weeks prior to this I sent him to Mexico to visit his dying god mother and I refused to go because of covid and being pregnant. While he was out in Mexico he gave his number out to two women all while wearing his wedding ring and of course those women didn’t care. Once he got home for three weeks he was on dating sites and speaking with another three women. Two out of state and he made plans to meet up with them. When I first caught him he kept lying to my face. I didn’t believe it so so went digging and found out everything. I found out that he made plans to have romantic and sexual acts with these women. He lied to them saying he was a sugar daddy with money when he hadn’t even bought our son anything. I told him to move into the guest bedroom and that if he wanted to work on our marriage he had to put in the work. I suggested counseling and he said “that’s for white people.” So we never went to counseling but we continued to argue because once I caught him he never let me on his phone and he continued to be sneaky with his phone. I prayed for change but he only got more distant. When our son was born in November he didn’t care and was too busy to help me. I had a c section and no support. He failed to help me in any type of way that my incision did eventually open up because I was doing everything on my own. My family doesn’t care for me so I was on my own. Fast forward to April 2021 he still wasn’t helping and he didn’t care about me. We stopped having sex back in August was I decided that I needed to move on with my life. I moved out and got my own apartment. I thought him seeing me move out would make him want to work on our marriage but instead he decided to go back onto dating sites. So I did the same. In the beginning of May I met my current partner. We clicked instantly. When my husband found out that I was on a dating site he told me that he no longer wanted to be a father to our son and good luck. Our son was only 6 months and even though they didn’t have a bond it broke my heart because I know no one can ever replace my sons dad. My current partner stepped up right away and told me “don’t worry I got you.” He put in the time with my son. He made bottles, put him to bed, watched him so I could shower, and it was new to me. I never had help with my son so it took time to adjust. Fast forward to today 08/22/2021 I currently live with my partner and my soon to be ex husband doesn’t care to see our son. He sends me money if I ask for it but in our divorce papers he we agreed that he is giving up his rights, that he won’t pay alimony or child support. I know a lot of you will call me dumb but in reality I don’t need his money or anything from him. I just wanted a quick and fast divorce because I didn’t want to deal with him anymore. My new partner has already proposed to me and he is more then willing to adopt my son. we will be filing for our marriage license the day after my divorce so we can start the process of him adopting my son. I’m really happy and excited for this new chapter but my heart will always hurt for my son.
