Ten months after his wife died, a widower plucked up the courage to unfold the final letter she wrote for him before she died. After reading her soul-crushing confession, he hurried to take a paternity test.
On November 29, 2021, a grieving widower found solace in the “Off My Chest” subreddit, pouring out his heartache. He wasn’t looking for advice, but his emotional narrative resonated with supporters who reassured him that it was alright to cry over what his wife had done.
The man and his wife had enjoyed four years of blissful marriage. They cherished their shared moments, and the arrival of their son only deepened their happiness. However, despite their joy, fate had other plans in store for them.
His Late Wife’s Letter
The Original Poster’s (OP) wife sadly passed away ten months before he shared his Reddit account. Shattered and feeling as if his world had collapsed, he found the strength within himself to persevere. Despite the immense grief, he made a steadfast commitment to be a loving and dedicated father to his 4-year-old son.
As time passed, things slowly began to return to a semblance of normalcy in OP’s life. His son became his entire world, and he couldn’t envision anything beyond their bond. During this period, he stumbled upon the last letter his wife had written for him. Although OP had known about this heartfelt treasure his late wife had left behind, he couldn’t summon the courage to read it until ten months later.
Upon reading the letter, OP was initially in a state of disbelief. It took him considerable time to regain his composure while absorbing the weight of his wife’s candid revelation.
In the letter, she confessed to getting excessively drunk during her bachelorette party and engaging in an intimate encounter with a stranger. Consequently, she found herself pregnant, but the timing left her uncertain about the true paternity, as the incident had occurred a few days before their wedding.
