When I gave birth to our daughter, my husband said he wanted a son

A woman took to the social media to open up about what happened to her family. She, then, wanted to ask the online community for advice.

Here’s her full story:
When I gave birth to our daughter, my husband said he wanted a son.

A year later, he hinted that it was time to start working on a boy. I didn’t mind, I just wanted to wait for a few more years. My husband persisted, “If you don’t do it, somebody else will!”

When our daughter was 3, he left the family.

It turned out he had had another woman for 2 years, and she was expecting a child. It was a long divorce, he even wanted his half of our cutlery.

Finally, he had a long-awaited heir, 2 years later another one. It was 11 years ago.

Recently, my ex’s mother called me and asked me to meet. I didn’t want to, but still agreed.

It turned out that the ex-husband is getting a divorce. The kids weren’t his. He had an affair again, his new wife found out about it and filed for divorce.

He said he’d demand full custody of their sons. And then the woman said they were not his children, and a DNA test proved it.

The ex’s mother asked me to make peace with her son and take him back, because we have a daughter, his only child. I refused, of course.
