ICaught My Pregnant Wife in a Room Alone with Another Man at Night – If Only I Had Known What They Were Doing
My world fell apart when I discovered my pregnant wife sneaking a man into our home at three in the morning. She had been acting strangely for weeks. Everything changed that night in our kitchen, but not in the way I had anticipated, thanks to what I found there.
I never imagined myself to be that man. You know, the guy who, wary of his pregnant wife, prowls his own house at three in the morning. And yet, there I was, heart pounding, hands perspiring, slinking down our steps like a bad-movie thief.
It all began approximately three months ago. My three-year wife Jade informed me that she was expecting a child. I was ecstatic. After some time of trying, it seemed like everything was coming together.
But something changed as her belly got bigger. Jade grew aloof. chilly, even. I dismissed it as hormones at first. Telling myself, “It’s normal,” “She’s growing a whole human in there.”

The phone calls at midnight followed. Shouting quietly, she would leave the room. She would tell me it was her mom checking in when I would ask. However, something didn’t feel quite right.
I confronted her about it one night. “Jade, how are things going? You appear to have changed recently.”
Ethan cleared his throat. Even if this is heartwarming, can we return to the snacks? I wasn’t just driving across town at three in the morning.”
With a full release of stress, we all laughed once more. Grabbing a sausage and a piece of watermelon, I joined in on the strangest midnight feast I had ever had.
Jade told me everything she had been holding in while we were eating. Her anxieties about having a child, the insecurities she felt about her changing body, and the mood swings that made her feel unhinged.
She said, “I didn’t want to burden you with all of it.” “Your excitement for the baby has been palpable. My intention was not to undermine you.
Sticky with watermelon juice, I took her hand. Hey, let’s get this done together. Good, bad, and desires at three in the morning. Alright?”
Tears filled her eyes as she nodded. “Okay.”
Ethan spoke out, his mouth full of sausage. “You people are disgusting. However, I’m happy I could contribute to this wonderful occasion.”
We hurled rinds from watermelon at him.
Something struck me when the sun rose and put a gentle glow across our kitchen windows. Our chaotic night of miscommunications and late-night munchies had bonded us more than we had in months.
With slumber in her eyes, Jade yawned. I believe it’s time to go to bed. This time, for real.”
I turned to Ethan after helping her up. “Man, thank you. For everything.”
He dismissed it with a wave. “At any moment. However, perhaps simply store some watermelon in the refrigerator the next time,” he joked.
We left Ethan to tidy up (it was the least he could do) and went upstairs. Jade nestled up against me as we got into bed, her belly pressed against my side.
“Yeah?”
“You have my affection. I appreciate you not being overly agitated.”
I planted a kiss atop her head. “I also adore you. And wake me up the next time you’re desiring anything. I’ll be the one to bring you your own snacks.”
She gave a little giggle. “Deal.”
I grinned as I went to sleep. There was no doubt that living with Jade would never be dull. And our tiny one? They certainly kept us on our toes already. Sometimes, I suppose, a midnight terror might become the wake-up call you were unaware you needed.
I’d love to hear from any of you who have had similar experiences or have crazy pregnancy-craving stories. I appreciate you allowing me to vent, and keep in mind that sometimes reality is stranger than fiction.
