Furthermore, OP discussed how there were a lot of hardships in her mother's life, and she worked multiple jobs to support their family. She wrote how she was grateful for the things her mother has done for her.

Elaborating on the issue, OP talked about how her mother informed her about seeing a certain man. OP was happy for her mother and admitted that she hadn't seen her so happy in a long time.

THE PROBLEM WITH THE RELATIONSHIP

According to OP, she was introduced to the man only recently and was shocked to see who he was. Her mother had been dating him for the past three years.

She said that he was a married man, and OP knew him from her professional circle. She also mentioned that she had seen the man with his wife at company events.

OP asked her mother if she knew about the marriage, and to her dismay, her mother admitted to knowing the whole time. OP's mother tried to explain how her current boyfriend was unhappy in his marriage.

THE ENRAGED OP

Although OP's mother explained that the marriage was not ideal, and her boyfriend's wife was emotionally abusive, OP couldn't accept such behavior.

She revealed how emotionally betrayed by her mother's actions as she was subjected to an unfaithful partner not too long ago. OP ended up kicking her mother out of the house and revealing the affair to the man's wife.

The users also mentioned how OP's mother lost her youth in taking care of OP, and she deserved to have her share of happiness. The other side of Reddit suggested that one's happiness shouldn't come at the expense of another person's family.

Other comments focused on how destroying other people's homes was not a humane move regardless of previous circumstances. The users also mentioned how the man and OP's mother could have made efforts to make their relationship legitimate.
