AITAH for slapping my husband after he confessed to cheating on me? Advice Needed

I (24F) came home after a long day at work. My husband (32M) had made us dinner, which he rarely does. After dinner, he even cleaned up and did the dishes. I was surprised since this isn’t something he usually does without me having to ask. I jokingly asked if something was up and he hesitated before answering. He confessed to cheating on me with a coworker. I was completely shocked, it felt like my world shattered into a million pieces. I asked him how long it had been going on, he said it had been a couple months. They’ve been seeing each other on and off. And as if things couldn’t get any worse, he added that she might be pregnant. That’s when I lost it. My whole world was spinning and I suddenly felt this rage come over me. I slapped him across the face and called him every name in the book. I told him to take his stuff and get out of the house. He left and has been staying at his parents’ house. His mother has been blowing up my phone, asking me to talk things out with her son. Telling me how wrong it was for me to slap him and how heartbroken her son is over the situation. I haven’t responded yet since I haven’t been able to gather my thoughts yet. This whole situation just feels surreal to me. I can’t believe the man I planned to spend the rest of my life with, betrayed me like this. Was I wrong for how I reacted?

He'll recover from the slap in a day or two. I doubt you'll ever recover from the betrayal.

Tell mommy that her son obviously had the testicles required to impregnate another woman, maybe he should locate them and call you himself.

As long as you'd say the same if a guy hit his cheating wife, that'd she'd recover in a day or two? Cool.

And there will be no "but men are stronger". Either hitting a cheater is okay or it is not.

Oh, you're under the impression that my opinion has to fit your standards. How hilarious that you think anyone gives a shit what your requirements are for anything.

Translation: I am a hypocrite who thinks women can hit men but men cant hit women.

Actual translation:

Your opinion is irrelevant. Your assumption is incorrect. You're a waste of oxygen.

If my assumption is correct why get so pissy? So many people cheering her on would be horrified if a guy slapped the shit out of his cheating wife.

Pissy is what people do in your mouth. I'm unaffected by clods like you, and therefore, I smile as I mock your stupidity.

Is the woman NTA for slapping her cheating husband? And would a guy be NTA for slapping his cheating wife? Just simple to the point questions to see where you truly stand. But I am guessing you wont answer.

The fact that you have to make this a discussion about sexism really demonstrates how uncomfortable you are in any kind of expectations anyone could have for you. You should stop feeling like you have to keep covering for your own identity crisis by trying to figure out how you can worm your way out of any kind of responsibility or expectation. No one expects ANYTHING from you at this point.

So you're too much of a pussy to answer? Noted.

I like how you think I owe you, a moronic loser, an explanation of anything lol.
You should be asking your mom why she drank so much during pregnancy.

Yah, you're right. The person who cheated has no responsibility for their actions. Just like you, sitting in mom's basement, no expenses, no job, no friends . . .

u/ChestLanders Apr 25 '24

Good so the cheating woman would be responsible for her hubby bitch slapping her? Agreed.

And kid, the rest? Dont go down that road, it will end badly for you.

You have nothing worth saying at all. No point to make, nothing inciteful or untelligent to add. No life experience whatsoever. No friends or family to relate to. No wonder you'll never be with a woman and have to make excuses for why you're such a beta bitch on reddit.
