So, um, a year and a half ago my husband showed some changed behavior, and kept telling me that, "We will be partners.
My love has died for you." So this kept going on for three months.
Because I have been with him for my entire life, I was, like, like devastated by this.
I said, "What are you saying? How, how is it possible? And what am I doing here?" Because I am from another country.
In US I don't have any relatives.
I came here because he wanted to pursue his career here.
So I was, like, devastated.
But then three months into this changed behavior I came to know that he is with someone who is 27 years younger than him, and this girl he found on...
He, he went on a sugar dating website, and that's where this all started.
And then he became so serious about her, and, um, he says he's in extreme love with her, and they are, you know, they will be married and all sorts of things.
And, uh, you can imagine, I'm just, just, I'm just shattered, completely shattered, like I, I don't think my life is worth living.
Mm-hmm?
Yes
So this is what happened.
One day I was...
You know, when initially I came to know, I was like, "You cannot do this.
We have kids," and my both kids have special needs.
