I kicked my husband out after finding out he was trying to cheat with our daughter's best friend

Was it a midlife crisis or an uncontrollable infatuation? 

A potentially scorned woman, 37, turned to Reddit this week to detail the uncomfortable situation when her husband, Joshua, 38, tried to start an affair with their teenage daughter's best friend. 

The issue began after the woman received screenshots of her husband's inappropriate messages to Aliya, 19, from the teen's father earlier this month where the 38-year-old vented and came on to the teen. 

Aliya had repeatedly told Joshua to 'cut it out' and he eventually did after the teenager threatened to tell. That led Joshua to stop, but the woman still got word of the text that seemed to be ripped from a movie script. 

She booted the would-be-cheater, and partner for 15 years, from their home and turned to Reddit to ask if she was in the wrong. 

'Aliya's dad said that he wanted to kill my husband, but he would wait for me to confront him before doing anything,' the poster noted. 

A woman, 37, created a post on Reddit and wrote that she threw out her husband Joshua, 38, after he wanted to cheat on her with their daughter's teenage best friend, Aliya

The woman got a hold of texts from the older man to the teen reminiscent of a movie script, such as best picture winner American Beauty 

The woman said she hasn't heard from her husband, except for him asking to come back to the home. She never responded to the text. 

'Joshua even went so far to say that he wished he could divorce me and marry someone like Aliya to try again at a blended family,' the woman wrote. 

The race of the people involved played a major theme throughout the post. The woman said Joshua wrote that he wished his wife and daughter were lighter-skinned like Aliya.

'There were some truly disgusting things said about both Dia and I's skin color,' the woman wrote. 

Still, she didn't want to believe the texts and waited for him to get home to confront him. 

'I was disgusted and horrified at what those texts said, but held out the tiniest amount of hope that maybe they were fake, so I waited for Joshua to get home,' she wrote.

'Joshua even went so far to say that he wished he could divorce me and marry someone like Aliya to try again at a blended family,' the woman wrote. 

'He didn't even bother to deny it when I showed the texts to him, and just begged for me to forgive him,' the woman wrote. 

Joshua allegedly said that it was 'a stressful time in his life' and that 'he hasn't tried anything with Aliya or anyone else since.'

She kicked him to the curb after he begged her for forgiveness on March 10 and he is now staying at her mother-in-law's house.

The whole situation came as a 'complete shock' to the woman, but part of her was not surprised that it happened.

'His father who's divorced from my MIL had a horrible reaction to use dating due to my race,' she wrote.

'He cut his dad off, but there's a possibility that they could've gotten back in contact.'

The husband didn't deny the texts and booted her would-be-cheating husband from the home. She then turned to Reddit to ask if she was wrong 

Their daughter, Dia, is currently unaware of the text messages between Joshua and Aliya. 

'I just want to protect her from the pain she would feel from knowing that her own father said such awful things about her, and the fact he would go after her best friend,' she wrote. 

The woman claimed that her mother-in-law wants her to take her husband back so they can 'talk it out and move past it.'

'She said that I shouldn't throw away fifteen years of marriage over a few texts,' she wrote.

'I'm still having trouble facing that my husband would do something like this, and my MIL is making me feel guilty for kicking him out.'

She wondered if she made the wrong decision and turned to Reddit for advice - but users said she was 'not wrong.'

Social media users have backed up the woman for her actions and have dissed her husband and her MIL for trying to convince her to take him back

Several Reddit users suggested in the comment section that the OP tell her daughter about the situation. 

'I would have a sit down with your daughter though, and be honest and explain everything. At 19 she’s old enough to know and handle the truth,' one Reddit user wrote.

'This will affect their relationship moving forward but at least she will have the knowledge to make her own choices...'

One Reddit user suggested the wife talked to her mother-in-law about the situation due to the possibility of her husband downplaying what happened.

'He said racist things about his WIFE and his CHILD!! He said he’s embarrassed to bring you and your daughter around family and coworkers!! You don’t come back from this,' the user wrote.
