My Boyfriend Dumped Me for My Mom and Thought He Would Get Away With It, but He Had No Idea What Was Coming — Story of the Day

When my boyfriend Travis dumped me for my mother, Linda, the betrayal shattered me. I thought our love was real, despite his flaws—distant, dismissive, self-centered. He left sticky notes, brought me coffee, played songs that felt like love. My mother often visited, helping with chores, offering advice. I trusted her. Then I caught them kissing. They showed no remorse, blaming me for being difficult. Devastated, I kicked them out. Days later, I discovered I was pregnant with Travis’s child. He tried to act supportive, but then Linda revealed she was

pregnant too, claiming she planned it to keep him. Travis suggested I “fix” my pregnancy to simplify things. Furious, I threw him out. When I found him planning to flee with plane tickets, I tore them up, called Linda, and vowed he’d support both children. Driving home, I felt stronger. They took so much, but I found myself—ready to raise my child alone.
