I’ve been married for 2 years to my 40-year-old husband, and we have a 1-year-old son. Our babysitter, Lucia, has been great, but I’ve noticed unusual behavior between her and my husband.
They frequently text each other beyond discussing our son, which made me uncomfortable. When I confronted my husband, he dismissed my concerns, but I later found them acting awkwardly close together.
My husband admitted to seeing Lucia and had her dismissed from the agency by fabricating a story. He claims it was to protect us, but I feel betrayed and am considering ending our relationship.
My husband insists I’m overreacting and says I’d be “throwing away our family” over this “misunderstanding.” I feel lost and unsure if I’m being too dramatic.
This situation has left me questioning my marriage and the trust I had in both my husband and the babysitter.
