So brave

Today, my five year-old had to break the news to me that my husband was leaving me for someone else. FML

Halloween

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

That's ****** up.

Your soon-to-be ex is a coward. Even if it wasn't his plan to have your child tell you (and if it was, that's even worse), the fact they kid even knew before you is very telling of his inability to face you and do his own dirty work. That's beyond reprehensible.

What a coward, be glad he's gone, you don't want a man like that. If he can't man up and tell you something like that, how is he ever gonna stick up for you?

This irritates me so much. Marriage is supposed to be sacred, and here we have children learning at a young age that it essentially won't even matter if you do stay with the person you married. Great example from the father here. *sigh*

That's really childish

Sadly childish for him is a compliment. Children are honest and caring, which he is not.

What kind of scumbag uses his child to tell his wife he's leaving her? Your soon-to-be (but not soon enough) ex is also a coward.

Totally ****** up child has more balls than your spouse

Looks like your son is already going to be more of a man than your husband is

That is honestly one of the most ****** up things I ever heard.

That's messed up. Why would your husband make your child tell you that? Why can't he tell you himself?

Same thing happened to me when my first wife left with my business partner and all of our money, leaving me with our 3 kids.
