I Want to Leave My Husband After Discovering Suspicious Behavior

Claire, a 29-year-old mother, discovered her 40-year-old husband’s affair with their 20-year-old nanny, Lucia, who cared for their 1-year-old son. Initially, Claire noticed their frequent, casual texting, which her husband dismissed. Last week, she caught them sitting closely, and he admitted to “seeing” Lucia. He then falsely reported Lucia as “unreliable” to her agency, getting her fired, claiming it was to “protect” their family. Claire feels betrayed by both

and is considering ending the marriage. Her husband insists she’s overreacting and risking their family over a “misunderstanding.” Claire seeks advice, unsure if her reaction is justified or dramatic.
