Buckle in because this is a long one. You'll also be nursing a headache by the end so make sure you have some Tylenol ready.

It started when OP found her husband texting a minor while the two were on a trip.

As one would understand, she was shaken by the news. Having only been married for six months, this discovery had thrown her for a loop.

She found out while the two were at a truck stop and her husband went inside the shop to buy snacks. At this point, he received a notification on his Instagram.

this piqued OP's curiosity since before then he had been adamant about not getting an Instagram. What she saw were messages from a teenage girl.

Her heart sank when she saw declarations of love in the messages.

Seeing that he was texting a minor was more of a worry for her than just the cheating.

She couldn't investigate further as he returned rather quickly. They had six more hours on the trip and she didn't know how she'd get through them.

She said in an edit she pretended to be sick so she wouldn't have to interact with him.

She took a nap on the way to her parents so she would be in a safe place before she confronted him.

She made another post later where she revealed what happened later.

When she awoke she found her husband had gotten worried about her and decided to stop at a nearby hotel to make sure she got some rest. She couldn't bear being close to him so she ended up going to the bathroom.

At this point, her husband started getting suspicious that something else was up and she ended up confronting him.

She told him she found his Instagram messages.

This was when the apologies started but she felt they were half-hearted. That's when she also let drop the big 'P' word.

Her husband went quiet and asked her what she was talking about.

Turns out the person he was speaking to was his daughter.

He told her she reached out a year ago and they've since built a relationship.

He said that the confirmation took some time and he felt it wasn't the right moment to tell her.

he also explained that his daughter was only able to communicate through Instagram, hence the messages.

To say she was blindsided is an understatement. She even saw messages of her wishing him a Happy Father's Day.

OP was drowning in guilt and started apologizing.

Her husband on the other hand did some apologising of his own.

She said she wasn't too worried about the secret daughter since the alternative that she thought of was so much worse, this paled in comparison.

She also clarified some questions that the commenters asked of her.

She said that her husband had apologized for his mistake of hiding his daughter and that she understood his motives.

She also took accountability for looking through his phone.

Ultimately, the two were understanding of one another and were working through the problem.

Commenters empathized with her and this extremely confusing situation.

Others questioned whether any of this was true in the first place.

Mostly, they suggested therapy.
