Single, Strong, and Ready to Raise a Kid
Angela (35) had a big decision to make when she found out she was pregnant – stay with a husband who was clearly less than faithful or turn her life around and raise her little one on her own. She chose the latter, and here’s how her story unfolded.
First, they were over the moon…
- After months of trying, Angela and Adam were finally riding the bliss of “we’re finally pregnant.”
- They welcomed a little bundle of joy on the horizon – a future she couldn’t wait to meet.
Then, reality came crashing in.
- Just eight months into her belly bloom, Angela discovered that Adam had been Cheating.
- She stopped sleeping with him—sorry, Adam, out of caution and a dash of “I don’t want to jinx this” mentality.
- Her body changed: the usual thump of pregnancy vibes didn’t feel sexy; instead, she felt like a bubble of bloatedness and acne.
- Her wardrobe was marked: less body‑hugging, more oversized – she was recognising she wouldn’t be the centre of attention for the next few months.
The discovery that knocked her off balance
During a visit to a neighbour’s yard, Angela was stunned with a collage of pictures: Adam, a stranger, and an unmistakably “not‑me” woman strolling in Johor Bahru – a place 10,000 miles away from their sweet suburban bubble.
Under the weight of the scandal, she had to beat the weight of the uterus. The stress felt so heavy that she began feeling contractions and was whisked into an earlier-than-expected labour appointment. Doctors assured her everything was fine, which gave her a shot of hope.
Baby steps – birth and one straightforward decision
- Her daughter was brought into the world with her mother’s family – nothing Adam had to do. She did not feel the need to share the moment with her husband.
- After confirming Adam’s place of action, Angela said “out” and asked him to pack a bag and go back to his parents’ house.
- Adam’s family had an emotional reaction and wanted her to go back – but Angela said firmly: “No, I won’t be in the corner if the eyes keep accusing me of blaming him while I stay in the same ring.
Divorce on the table, no remorse from Adam
Angela filed for divorce and it barely faced opposition from Adam – he only wanted to keep seeing her daughter. She let it just for the times Adam was a father, no romantic or financial entanglement. Agreed that human values are practical, like “He pays the babysitter and can sit with the baby, that is that”.
Angela’s Story, an Open-Confidence mantra
- Even over three years, Angela remained open‑handed about her journey. She took a beat on how her choice would shape the life of her daughter; a narrative cementing a woman who won’t be diverted by a deceitful husband for her child or for herself.
- Her heart remains open – she promises to bend her side of the story to give her daughter confidence that trust matters.
So, Angela’s story is a slam‑dash of faith, courage, and great dad support. She stayed single by choice to protect her daughter’s trust and to prove that a marriage built upon cheating should not even be a footnote – a reason for a definitive heartbreak but no demand to ask for the side side that has always known the worth of him. “Let’s do this as the single‑mother kit so you’re welcomed or you’re not welcome Ivan” – that’s the final verdict when real love or any bright laughter comes after a big burden.
