“AITA For Publicly Humiliating My Wife At Her Workplace After Discovering Her Affair?”
Out of everything you can find out about your partner, a long-time affair is probably the most devastating. Reddit user Horror_Squash4757 recently made a post on r/AITA_WIBTA_PUBLIC, sharing the way he learned about his wife and her coworker. What began as a subtle shift in her behavior—secretive phone use and “overtime”—led to a cascade of revelations, including secret trips and a shared apartment. After he publicly confronted her, the man left with a heavy bag of emotions, as well as doubts about whether his actions crossed a line. So he asked the internet to help him make sense of the whole ordeal.

Yeah, this all happened recently bur he's been undergoing therapy to get better - at most he's had time to find/book 1 session. He watched this apartment, from "a couple blocks away", how does he *know* they're renting this place? No mention of finding a rental deed. Affairs started 4 years ago, longer than both kids, so everyone at work knows she's married, pregnant, *and* stepping out with a colleague?!?! The whole things reads like a paranoid fantasy

A public scene doesn't help the custody argument. Although there doesn't seem to be any grounds mentioned that would support full custody to either parent. The marriage is over, it's now about how to make the transition as easy on the kids as possible, public lashing out isn't helping. Hopefully therapist covers that. Its not that wife didn't deserve the dramatic gesture, it's just not smart, and makes the case to give her primary custody stronger, if OP can't control his emotions and goes to great lengths to exact some revenge.

To the YTA brigade, she was publicly flaunting her affair and completely ripping apart a family. It's not revenge and she deserved to have her affair out in the open and actually those who worked with her probably knew about it. She's disgusting! Reap what you sow! NTA OP and ignore those YTAs because they're the type who have, would and will do exactly what OPs wife did. No-one in their right mind would say you were wrong. Good luck OP and just get those lovely children's DNA! I have a feeling they're yours though, but have it confirmed.
