A Redditor was in labor when she discovered her husband was having an affair with their 22-year-old neighbor. Their affair started when the neighbor got out of rehab.

OP had no idea her husband was that helpful. Their neighbor declared she was three months pregnant, and OP's husband was the father.

She had an emotional breakdown and fainted. OP watched while she went into labor as her husband carried his mistress into another to get help.

OP was left all alone. Her husband returned a few hours later when OP had already given birth to their baby girl.

He carried the baby, kissed her, and left the room. He visited OP two days later to inform her he would be moving out.

His mistress was fragile, and he was the only person in the world capable of supporting her. He supported OP and the baby financially, but they rarely saw him.

He was busy with his mistress, who was in and out of the hospital. Their baby was born prematurely and had to spend a lot of time in the NICU for specialized care.

They were buried in medical debt. OP noticed how stressed and emotional her husband was during his last visit.

He overheard her reassuring his mistress over the phone. He promised her that he would always prioritize their baby over his baby with OP.

He declared he loved their baby more because their baby was a "product of love," while his baby with OP was a "product of duty sex." OP called her parents in India and told them everything.

They told her to come home. Her former boss heard about OP's plight and was only too happy to offer her a job.

OP didn't have any relatives in the US. She isn't close to her husband's family. She had to decide what was best for her and her baby.

She knew her husband would cause their baby nothing but pain, so she listened to her parents' advice.

She legally didn't abduct their baby. They don't have a custody agreement in place.

OP is just waiting for their divorce to be finalized. Her husband has been trying to get in touch with her. OP's friends think she is a horrible mother for keeping her child away from her father.

OP did what was right for her and her baby. She proved her husband was a terrible partner and was shaping up to be an even more horrible parent.

Her husband is disgusting for cheating on OP with a 22-year-old woman fresh out of rehab

As long as OP has sound legal advice that she didn't break any laws, she and her baby should stay away from her husband

If OP stayed, she would have risked her child's safety

OP knew she needed to protect her baby from growing up in a toxic household. She couldn't trust her husband to do the same.

OP's husband is a massive jerk and a deadbeat. He is not good enough for OP and their daughter.

OP clarified that her husband is American and they didn't have an arranged marriage.

I wouldn't trust OP's husband to visit. It's doubtful if he even wants to make the effort.

OP gave this jerk enough time to turn things around. If he couldn't visit them when he lived around the neighborhood with his mistress, he wouldn't bother flying to India to see them.

OP is a great mom. Leaving her neglectful husband proved that.

OP and her baby didn't deserve to be treated the way her husband treated them. He was a selfish jerk, who was so callous he actually said that he loved one baby over another.

He doesn't deserve to be a father to OP's baby. They will thrive and survive without his baggage dragging them down.
