I DON'T REGRET WHAT I DID
A pregnant wife battles a partner's claim of no regrets that rekindles old wounds, forcing them to confront guilt, forgiveness, and whether their marriage can survive.
Would you ask for the apology, or move on?

A five-month-pregnant wife broke down over one sentence her husband refused to retract: "I don't regret what I did."
That fight reopened a relationship that had already been through one breakup, one affair-shaped wound, and one uneasy reunion.
The couple met at 22 and fell into what he described as an exclusive situationship. She chose not to stay with him because she wanted to be single and "explore" herself. Instead, she started seeing someone else, and he says it hurt him badly.
They reconnected years later at 27. She apologized, went to therapy, and after long conversations they started dating seriously. The relationship moved fast from there: engagement, then marriage.
But the past kept resurfacing.
Seven months into the engagement, she got an Instagram request from the man she had left him for. She answered his "hello" politely. To her fiancé, that was enough to blow everything open. He broke up with her.
During that breakup, he slept with her again while also casually dating and having sex with someone else. She knew, stayed involved, and remained in the picture until he eventually decided to let her go. Somehow, after all of that, they got back together and married.
Later, in a serious conversation, he told her he did not regret what he had done. In his view, it had "balanced" their relationship and given him closure.
That was the sentence the pregnant wife could not let go of.
She began crying daily and told him to take back what he said. He refused. He said he could not deny his truth.
The pressure kept building until he walked away from home. In the update, he says he stayed away and did not answer her repeated calls. Then he came back and told her: "Before I say anything else, know that I'm willing to give us another shot. But I'm also reevaluating whether this marriage should continue or not."
They finally talked it through.
He said he still would not call what he did "cheated" or say he "regret"ted it. But he did say he could understand her pain. She admitted her demand came from unresolved guilt over leaving him years ago, saying it was the worst mistake of her life. She wanted his validation so she could forgive herself.
By the end of the conversation, they were crying, kissing, and holding each other.
But even after that, he said the issue did not feel fully resolved.
