Woman Suspect Husband, Installs Hidden Camera to Check on Him after Hiring a Nanny, Sees Nothing until Day 4

A woman who was suspicious of what her husband was doing in their house while she was at work secretly installed cameras to spy on him. Days later, she was left with a broken heart and no place to go.

A 32-year-old Reddit user took to the platform last year to share with readers what had been going on in her life and how it had severely impacted her relationship with her husband and uprooted her and her daughter from the life they knew..

The woman was suspicious of her husband having an affair and said he did nothing to ease her mind when she asked him about it. She decided to take matters into her own hands and find out once and for all what was going on.

What she saw was shocking and heartbreaking, leaving her questioning her marriage and home. She explained that she is a nurse while her husband worked three nights a week and came home to sleep during the day.

With her profession and her husband working nights and sleeping during the day, the couple hired a 17-year-old babysitter to care for their three-year-old daughter when they could not be there.

The woman talked about her challenging situation with her husband. She said how it did not help that her husband was not doing anything to ease her mind, and added:

“I felt I was going crazy because something was off, and he refused to ease my mind and answer questions I had.”

The only way she could get answers was by installing a camera in their home. For the first several days, nothing happened, yet her suspicions of her 35-year-old husband’s affair were soon confirmed.

On the fourth day, the woman saw her husband and the babysitter in a passionate embrace behind the couple’s daughter’s back as she watched TV. The woman admitted to feeling many emotions, including guilt at wanting to keep her job when her husband complained she was pushing him aside.

The woman’s husband began crying when she confronted him and asked her to listen to him, but instead, she took her daughter and went to stay with her mom. She shared the story on Reddit a month after discovering her husband’s affair.

The woman shared that her husband had asked for forgiveness and was left all alone because the babysitter had left soon after the affair came out. The husband accused the babysitter of initiating the affair.

While her husband begged for her forgiveness, the woman said she felt done with him. She revealed how he’d managed to make her feel guilty for not dressing up or making an effort with him.

The woman said she felt she bore part of the blame for everything that had happened, and even though her husband was asking for a second chance, her heart raced as she didn’t know how to deal with everything. She also wrote that her husband’s family defended him.

How Did People React?

The woman’s story quickly gained traction, and many people replied, giving their opinions. One thought there was no way the babysitter could have seduced the woman’s husband and instead felt he had taken advantage of a young girl.

The user advised the woman to do what was best for her and her daughter rather than thinking about what her cheating husband would want. The woman replied, saying her husband blamed her for everything wrong between them.

Another user advised the woman to keep the video of him cheating and said if she decided on a divorce and her husband acted up during the proceedings, she could play the video for the judge.

Someone else told the woman to get a good lawyer and not to believe anything her husband said, as he seemed like a master of manipulation. The same person told the woman not to bother with counseling as they didn’t believe it would help the couple.

Another Reddit user clarified that the woman’s husband was gaslighting her and said she should focus on teaching her daughter how to avoid situations like this one when she is older and potentially babysitting.

There was another who remarked that the husband had made up two excuses, one being that the woman was too focused on her job and the other being that the babysitter had seduced him. The person said they would have been done with the husband if they had been in the same situation.
